I noticed that about the legs, they are definately starting to get tired quicker than I am getting out of breath now but only just, and I have been running a week. I've just signed up for a 12 mile walk next month, so I have to fit in some training for that as well, in for a penny in for a pound, and all that!!
I stopped smoking with the wonder drug Champix, I have the Allen Carr book and keep meaning to read it.Well I can't stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by

A lot of people have posted their wii fit is inaccurate. You might find it better to keep a record of your measurements - my thighs have definitely got thinner!
Mine is, I found out because I got new digital scales. I think it's because the Wii fit is on carpet. My digital scales weigh me a stone lighter on carpet than on hard floor, the Wii fit is about half a stone less.
Much as I prefer the lighter measurements, I'm going by the one I assume to be the most correctWell I can't stand by the side

I have gained a few lbs too, but I have lost cms which was actually what I was aiming for. Measure yourself with a tape measure, and then use the same tape measure in a few weeks.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

Well. I am temporarily giving up. My legs just cannot take it, I am in agony with them.
I haven't run or done any serious exercise since leaving school (I'm 34 now) and I think that I am over doing it. I am coming back - I intend to, but I think I will wait until I have dropped some more weight as I do believe that part of the problem is having to plod along dragging my sorry mass around.0 -
Almost up to half of week 1 - can scrape 4 1 minute runs... rather flatteringly though I managed to break the treadmill :-/
Going out was rewarded by the heartwarming sight of seeing a complete moron undertaking me on the way home by blasting down a bus lane on the main road.... right into a parked police carLittle miracle born April 2012, 33 weeks gestation and a little toughie!0 -

Maybe try some lower impact exercise for a bit. Then when you're fitter you can try again. Swimming is supposed to be good, but just choose something you enjoy.Murphy's No More Pies Club #209
