Excited and scared about the future
Back in December, my partner and I started discussing starting a family so I joined MFP with a single goal in mind. Lose as much weight as I can before the decision to come off the pill is made. So I have worked reasonably hard (I am not perfect nor will I ever be) but I have pretty much changed my eating habits…

Long period versus short periods of exercise
Is short periods of exercise just as affective as long periods? For example: If I do 3 x 10 minutes on the cross trainer each with a small rest in between instead of 1 x 30 minutes, is it just as beneficial?
