Well I got my first official NSV… I have two pairs of jeans in the wardrobe that I bought over two and half years ago that never ever fitted me, I could get them on but I couldn’t get them over my belly… so I decided yesterday to dig them out and try them on and they fit! I couldn’t believe it so I shall be wearing them tomorrow for the first time, I’ve not worn jeans for over 14 years! Here’s hoping in another six week or so they will be too big!

Congratulations Moosegirl that's a great feeling.

I'm down half a pound today.

CG.. thats good... best to stick with the brace than go for rods if you can!...its a long op!.... well done on the half lb!

Moosegirl... wooooo hoooo... enjoy your "new" clothes.... & heres to the next size down!.....

well done moosegirl, it's nice when that happens. I haven't been to the Plough for a couple of years, CG as it's not up to much, although the beer garden is nice in the summer. The Junction is now the best place in Harborne. Harborne tends to be quite upmarket these days which is why I can't afford to live there!! :)

Managed 15 mins on the exercise bike this afternoon. As there isn't much on TV tonight think I might go spend some quality time exercising. Might help my low mood as well.

Off to see Sweeney Todd today and I won’t be buying the cinema snacks!

Moosegirl - was sweeney todd any good? fancy seeing it myself.

Went to physio, turns out I have a frozen shoulder. I have to see them for 3 weeks for treatment and do exercises at home 3 times a day. So went for first session today and after my walk today did the exercises for the 2nd time.Took me 30 minutes and I have to do them tonight again. So I feel like I'm getting a workout.

Have a good weekend everyone. Chris and RSG stay warm. It will be frigid this weekend.

Hi all.
Does anyone here just do walking as their exercise? And do they think it helps?
I started walking with my sister, we do 50 mins to an hour rapid walking, with incline half of route, but googling doesn't seem like really it'll help with my weight loss. If I'm lucky I'll get a pound a month from it? I do my exercise DVD some nights (Rebecca Wheatleys, the new me workout) but not often because I can only do them after my parents have gone to bed and our flat has very thin floors, so I can't do it often because it creates noise and we have people who live under us. I can't afford the gym any more, so we thought we'd walk most days instead. But, is it really worth the effort? :(

does this help???
