Hello Gang!
Kazzajr - you'll have noticed quite a few of us use the Wii for exercise, and deciding to walk to/from school is a great idea. Are you following a particular eating plan too?

I'm not following any eating plan just now but am just keeping track of what I am eating I am also using foodfocus and logging everything I eat.

I don't really crave sweet things and can easily go without chocolate, I'm more of a savoury junkie I think my problem is there is only me and ds yet I still cook huge amounts as I mostly cook from scratch and it's too easy too eat too much if it is there anyway, but I have been cutting my portion sizes and freezing extra portions of most meals.

I will see how I go with this and the extra exercise before seeing if I need to do anything further.
Another bonus of walking is saving £s I used to spend on bus fares, I used to buy a weekly ticket and now I haven't got it I will be more inclined to walk into town as well.

My only problem with walking is I have already got a couple of blisters, I think I need to get some proper walking trainers but am a bit clueless, any advice on that would be appreciated.

Missy: i could skip in the flat but i bet the people below me wouldnt be too keen! i try and dance when i can though.

Hey everyone, hope youre all well! Im wasting time on the comp, i was looking on you tube to try and find a good bra fitting guide but couldnt find any, none of them were much cop really, or went into enough detail. Perhaps i should do my own and become a lingerie extrordinaire that way!! I just need a model, cos mine arent big enough to demonstrate properly.

Righties matts looking at me cos he starts at 7am tomorrow, ouchy to that early morning!

bye everyone

Hi guys.. Been reading your thread and would love to join in.. I'm 5ft 6 and very very overweight I'd be happy losing 4 stone, although that would still be 'overweight' according to those clever weight boffins :rolleyes:


Since losing my pony to cancer a year and a half ago I've just got bigger and bigger - kept saying I'd do something about it but same old, not got round to it! Well now I've decided to kick my own backside into action as I'd quite like a second child and I absolutely will not put any of us in danger by trying to go through pregnancy this size so.. Something must be done! Right now I mostly do nothing during the day - every now and then I'll get a burst of good behaviour and get on the Wii for half an hour - an hour on my very good days!! And then take the dog out for half an hour - yet these good behavior periods only seem to last a week or so :rolleyes: Quite surprised myself though when going on the Wii last week and it said I'd lost 4lb! Granted it was a month since I'd last been on but I was so so so chuffed with myself - gone on it tonight and lost a pound - which still thrilled me as I was convinced I'd have put loads on - especially with half term!

Sorry for my ramblings - that's another bad habit of mine - along with chocolate, not exercising, eating too much and swearing! My plan is to cut down eating - smaller portions and bulk out meals with vegetables, eat more fruit and do at least a half hour daily Wii stint - my lovely boyfriend bought me the My Wii Fitness Coach a couple of weeks ago - he's very supportive, he wasn't trying to drop hints :rotfl: Anyone else use it? I've just set it up tonight, but my boyfriend set his up this afternoon, and attempted a workout - he's incredibly fit and could only manage half of the 30 minute workout so I'm dreading mine! I quite enjoy the free step on the Wii Fit, stick earphones in and off on my 30 minutes I go - or couple of minutes yoga, 20 minute step and some rhthym boxing finished off with some balance games. I also enjoy walking the dog once we're out, it's just actually getting my bum into gear, wellied and coated up and getting out there - I'm very much a homebird Not to mention incredibly lazy


Sorry for going on so much - I've been sitting here for the last half hour "shall I post?" and finally decided to take the plunge - maybe knowing other people are there who understand and can spur me on is exactly what I need! xxx

Hi Vix - lots of stores do free fittings for bras now, Bravissimo - although I find them quite expensive really, Debenhams, Marks and Spencers - there was someone else too but I can't recall right now, sorry. Would be worth looking into, if just on their websites at the guides, or maybe popping into a store if you have any near you? Sorry to stick my nose in Night x

Welcome Cutterby, support is one thing we're really good at :j Keep posting and we'll keep you motivated take it from me, i was a couch potato before now i've exercised almost daily since the new year :rotfl: I think Vix was meaning the guides she found were rubbish as she's our resident bra expert, any related questions should be aimed at her Vix will take the bra world by storm if they let her :T

Kazzajr, not sure about walking trainers but i bought some proper catepillar boots, they even have a 2" heel and are really comfy to walk in. I only paid £30 from shoe-shop and i've had them for years.

Hello Cutterby :hello:

I think most of us have been there, I'm a chocoholic - it's all or nothing for me - at the moment I'm in a 'nothing' phase - but every so often I go off on one and post here about how much chocolate I have consumed

Oh, don't encourage Vix on the 'bra' subject - she's a 'professional fitter' - if there is such a term - I think she should have done her degree in bra fitting. I reckon, give her a month or 2, she'll have her own You Tube Demonstration - if she can find a model.

Evening all,

Many thanks for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to getting to know you all as we battle with our weightloss.

Today went quite well. Eating wise i had Shreddies, yogurt, tuna and rice for lunch and then fish and rice for dinner. I also joined the gym and attended a pilates class. So i am pleased with my effort for today. I even managed to eat under my reccommended calories on food focus :T.

One thing i have noticed is that i do not think i am getting a lot of fluid so i will try to correct that. Only problem is that i don't like water and never have but i will give it a go.

I hope tomorrow will be as successful. I am a bit worried as everytime i change my eating habits i get terrible headaches, which i think are linked to low sugar, and i desperatley do not want that to happen this time. Does anyone else get this and how do they get through it without succombing to sugary treats?

Another thought, Cutterby, could you help at a local stables/horse riding school? I've just started horse riding lessons and they always have young girls (+1 boy) mucking out, leading etc

You'd get a chance to get in with some ponies and get a great work out at the same time - I can see it's alot of work looking after ponies/horses.
