    Bit like me then :o

    Ah but it can't jump up and down to a Davina McCall "Toes, lobes and fallopian tubes" exercise video.

    I shall watch this thread with interest. I've already started exercising, been out for 7 hours walking this week. May build it up to a run some time in the year 2318...

    I'm in on this one - I have had a life long relationship with food and my scales so have to be careful how I approach it for fear of obsession and lots of negativity.

    So, rather than measure or get on the scales, I will just pledge to get fitter and more comfortable in my clothes.

    (If I *was* still a diet addict, I would be saying I need to lose a stone and a half and two dress sizes, for those that want a point of reference!!)

    Good luck guys......I will just finish off my Christmas chocolates and be right with you!!

    I would like to join too please!

    I can't find a tape measure right now but i have put on 2 stone in the last 5 years (happened since been with my boyfriend!) and am now 9 stone something and a size 12 (though even the 12's are a bit tight right now!) and really want to get back to a size 8!

    I was planning to lose the weight anyway but with you guys am sure it will motivate me more!

  • Hi

    Can I play too please, I can't bring myself to even measure my wobbly bits let alone record them for the world to see but I know that I am only 6lb from my highest ever weight so drastic action is needed.

    I would like to lose 2 stone over the year and need to get in training for doing the Moonwalk (charity marathon distance walk for anyone that hasn't heard of it) in May
    it will be a lot easier if I weigh less - believe me my knees will thank me

    I did the moonwalk last year. Good luck! :D

    You see that would imply that I had actually done the video.....:o

    It's a fusion of martial arts and aerobics. Does punching, kicking, stepping around/dodging. It's very hard work and lethal if you're as uncoordinated as I am. Do it in a large room with nothing within striking distance.
