Exercise before bed
I have heard that it is not good to exercise before bed, but I have never heard why it isn't good. The only time I can find to workout is between 8:30pm & 9:30pm and then I go to bed between 10 & 10:30pm and fall asleep within minutes. Does anyone know why it's not good to go to bed shortly after excercising?

Weight Loss Goal Attained
Has anyone actually met their weight loss goals right through to the end? If so, I would love to hear how much you lost, how long it took and what you did. Did you follow MFP exactly or did you vary a bit? I just need a little motivation to show that goals can be met and have been by other people. Thanks everyone!

Try This, IT WORKS
I have just purchased a large 65 inch stability ball to sit on while I'm at work instead of my chair. I sat on it all day yesterday, and today when I woke up, I could feel it in my butt and my legs.
