But you are doing it!!!! Keep going. I started c25k this time last year and running has changed my life! Best thing I have ever done!

Start slow, find activities that you enjoy and listen to your body! I broke my back 3 years ago and have a metal 5 vertebrae fusion. I was told I was lucky to walk and would never run again. I started with swimming, progressed on to walking and for the past year have been running. Drs and physios advised against it, but…

I lost my dad suddenly 6 years ago and I have no idea how I got through those first few weeks, But Worrying about weighing food was definitely not an issue. Please just look after yourself and allow yourself to grieve. It is a tremendous loss! Eat when you are hungry and drink lots... Give yourself time and love…

I would love to join this! A daily log will help motivate me.

I broke my back and had lower spinal fusion. I put on a ton of weight over the first year, but have lost most of it this year. I walk and I swim....

I had a NSV last night when I went to Zumba. They had changed rooms and we had to do it in a room full of mirrors. My first thought was horror at watching myself exercise, but I came out of the room feeling good about myself. I have lost weight, I am not where I want to be, BUT I looked OK. Was a really good feeling :-)

Try fitness blender. Loads of stuff on there x

Sleepwalking out of an upstairs patio door with no balcony... Broke my back, ribs, shoulder head injury and punctured rib.... Now have a lot of titanium inside me, but very lucky I can still walk!

Zoe from the UK... I have lost 14lbs so far this year, and want to work extra hard to loose the same again in 100 days....... I will continue to do at least 10000 steps daily and am going to start doing more exercise classes, eat within my allowance and focus on eating healthily.

Great idea. Just joined....

I broke my spine almost 2 years ago, and am (luckily) almost fixed. I am lucky that I am able to walk, as it was a possibility that I never could again, BUT I was told very firmly that I should NEVER run again. I don't know if that applies to you, But I used to run, before I broke, and have tried a few times since, but my…

Great idea!!! I am going away for Christmas, and would LOVE to feel comfortable in a bikini... I am in!!

http://www.fitnessblender.com/ This is a great site that you can choose what type of exercise you want to do, for how long and what intensity...

You look great, and so much younger! Well done xx

I felt so proud of you the whole way through reading your story, then I saw the pictures! You are a true inspiration and look wonderful. Totally amazing xxx

Starting this week. Today is my first 'fast' day.

If you hate smoking, then stop!? I smoked for 23 years, but hid it from family. I read the book 'how to stop smoking' by Alan Carr, finished the last page and never wanted a cigarette again. It just seemed so easy. I didn't like smoking. so I just decided not to do it anymore. Best thing I ever did.

I had an accidental 'cheat day' yesterday... I had a big family dinner and ate a bit too much, but still under my calorie goal for the day (just), but then when making the kids tea (Heinz tomato soup and toast) I decided to have a little bit.... Which was so lovely, and not something I would normally eat (white bread), I…

Great idea, I just joined x

I am in Cheshire, add me xx

Feel free to add me. I did really well on here, but then fell and broke my back and piled on the weight and then some.... But I am more or less fully recovered, and eager and determined to loose all my excess weight (again...) Be great to have some friends to motivate and encourage each other x

I crushed my L1 vertebrae just over a year ago and had instrumental fusion surgery for 5 vertebrae. This year has been tough, I basically had to learn to walk again, and am now heavier than I have ever been. My surgeon told me the same- just listen to your body. Swimming was the best exercise ever- I hated swimming before,…

I juice for breakfast everyday and that enables me to consume more vegetables and greens than I ever would eat in a day. I love it and I feel full and have loads of energy until lunch

Hey, Also pigged out over Easter... Just couldnt resist the chocolate eggs, but now kids are at their dads for a week and I am determined to get back on track, loose the stupid pounds I have gained and start exercising again. I dont know why I let myself get sucked into the whole eating badly because |I feel so much better…

I am having one on Wednesday. I am a bit worried about it, but good to see this thread x
