Also need to up my exercise have been pretty incapacitated over the past six weeks due to having sustained a knee injury at work so was off sick for five weeks.

  • oops, i meant hopelessly hopeful, not helpful, hehe!
    the worst thing is i actually read is as helpful and wondered why you had chosen that.

    Lincs - you're going to want low to no impact most likely for a while - swiming, walking, swim running (running in the pool) and cycling are all good starting points for strengthen the muscles again so they can take some impact in the future :D

    Hi,

    Please can I join.?.....I desperately need to lose about 4 stones and about 20 years.!! but I will be happy to lose the weight.! I am now going to set up our Wii and use it everyday and also follow SW eating plan. I will not be going to classes, but for every pound in weight that I lose I will put £1 in money away in a jar and at the end of the year or when I have lost my 4 stones, whichever comes first I will put the money towards treating myself to a really nice outfit. I will post my weight loss every Thursday. Good luck everyone.


    June 2010 - 11/56 lbs Weight to lose before May 2011.
