    Gosh Pet I really am envious~~Size 8 shorts!!

    I am thinking of reducing the amount I still have to loose by 1/2 a stone.
    I feel under pressure that this target was set @ my class & am starting to think its more than I really want to loose~decisons, decisions...

    It seems everyone is getting Wii fit but DS & I:p
    Beanie - this sounds a good idea. I think for peeps like you and me that have health probs that limit exercise options then to set a realistic target is being fair to yourself. What amazed me about my SW class was the final target was always totally up to you -I had been a bit afraid to being made to set a target that would just be a constant grind to reach and maintain, that didn't take account of my health issues. However this was not the case and I have just felt my way to what feels maintainable. Besides, it would be good to have a newby in the maintainer club:rotfl:
    I really really feel not one jot of envy of peeps reaching size 10 let alone size 8, though I enjoy hearing about missyg's life and how it works for her. My current size 14 suits me well. And I'm not getting a wii either, though I am getting a wii bit curious about them:D
    Ooh really excited, just bought a simple but trendy shopping trolley on ebay: a great start to my buy local new start. Another sign I'm feeling a lot better, that regular little shopping trips seems possible.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Thanks Brighton belle for helping me to get things into perspetive.
    I was starting to get stressed out with it all & I have enough stress at the mo doing my money juggling.
    One thing I really hate about being disabled is having to pay peeps to do thiings I wish I could do myself.
    Have finally comitted myself to getting my old falling down shed dismantled & taken away(& some replacement fencing as shed is on a boundry)
    Would much rather pay it off my debts or even buy shoes!!

    You're kidding, you sound like you like a good laugh. That's my girl!

    Have you hooked your wii up to the internet? We could all become wii buddies! I have to admit I like the boxing best. I'm unbeaten so far!:D
    I would if I could but I can't so I won't!

    Am I the only one who doesn't crave a wii? I get bored of consols really quickly, I have a gameboy color that I very very occasionally play Tetris on and that's it! I'm selling all my other gameboy games on eBay!
    I do like the idea that you have to get up and move around thou, a lot heathier than sat pushing a few buttons for hours on end.
