Good luck with the interview Fred!

I have lost 1lb this week and done 10 hours of exercise. It would be a bit more but I still haven't worked my way back up to a 2 mile walking DVD after being poorly - hopefully soon!

I was running late so I had one go at the scales and it was -2lbs. So now I'm only 20 stone... !!!!!!...

I said to myself in the typical "I'll do it tomorrow" fashion that when I get to this weight the exercise will begin proper. I'm also going for the long game now, a steady 2lbs per week with more weight training.

As for exercise this week, put me down for a piffling 159 minutes.

And I hope more than anything this mini-meltdown will subside and I can get my head straight with everything.

+ 1lb this week. I knew I had lost it too easily when I was unwell and it would go back on.
Now I am feeling better I need to get back to the gym and get myself moving, feeling very sluggish and bleuh!!!

This week it's -1.2lbs for me please fred.

What kind of weight training do you do? I feel like I should introduce some strength training at some point, but I don't feel very enthusiastic about it, and I'm also completely lacking in knowledge on the subject. I don't want to pay to go to a gym, so I need something I can do at home.

My boyfriend wanted to get us Dominos for dinner tonight. He knows I'm trying to lose weight (but I don't think he takes it very seriously). I said NO!

Being so overweight and weak at the same time means I don't do much.

But if you're starting out then bodyweight exercises are ok. Press ups, lunges, dips, squats, etc. For anyone who can't do a proper press up start by leaning forward and pushing from against a wall, then a kitchen counter, add in some press ups on knees too.

Also, find any weight that you can hold comfortably in your hand and curl.

A rucksack comes in handy to put general weight in, and that can be used in the hand for arm and shoulder exercises or on the back for leg work, etc.
