I was already overweight beforehand. I am now the heaviest I have ever been so something has to be done. I am going to give calorie counting a go. I had…

Alphabet challenge ( something different )
I've had an idea for a challenge if you guys fancy trying it. TBH I'm not sure if I will manage it but would love to see you guys try it. I was trying to think of something a bit different for everyone. The idea is this. Its nice and simple. Each day of the month you have to walk ( or run ) to somewhere starting with the…

Back again
I have come back after falling off the wagon last year. I was doing really we ( although I did lose muscle mass due to not being able to exercise because of my back injury), and then I started a new driving job and everything went out of the window. I have put a good 2 stone+ back on which I am gutted about and quite…

Arobic stepper
I got my first ever arobic stepper the other day. One of those plastic steps things where you can adjust the height. I put my laptop on the tv unit and played a beginner stepper video and followed that. The sweat was pouring out, but by, it felt good. Had to make sure I didn't get too carried away though as I didn't want…

Housework as an activity
Someone told me how to work out the calories burned doing housework. I don't do any proper exercise so the housework takes it out of me physically. Tonight I went mad with our new steam cleaner for about 1.5 hours. Was knackered after it. Any advice is welcome. I know some people dont log housework, and some do. I think…

If anyone else who has a similar situation at work has ideas what I can take to work in a packed lunch. I would like a variety so I don't have the same stuff all the time and get…

Someone did explain this in a post of mine, but I cannot find it. Can someone please explain in simplest terms that a beginner can understand, to lose weight, what do I need to cut out or keep low? Is it sugars, saturated fats and carbs? I spoke to a barista briefly at Costa Coffee yesterday who is also a personal trainer.…
