Hi ive really had enough now I need to loose about a stone well thats what wii fit says lol
I thought it maybe helpful to find a buddy who wants to loose weight aswell to egg each other on then I think im more likely to stick with it im a stay at home mum to a two year old so finding time for exercise is getting difficult. Im writing up a healthy shopping list tonight and I plan to start my diet tomorow, I actually eaten three magnums today which is terrible lol

Hi guys any recomendations for good bathroom scales ,mine are really cheap ones and they are giving me one reading then a minute later a different reading.dont worry i dont weigh myself every minute its just because i was in shock at first reading as it was saying id lost nearly a stone in a week lol

karrie8 · 13/07/2013 12:48

I just useing my wii fit to weigh myself at the moment.
I think you do just have to get new scales once in a while. How are we all doing? Im going to weigh myself on monday I hope ive lost some lol
Yesterday I went on crosstrainer for 40 mins and was sweating so I should think that done me good. And today ive walk for 3 hours clothes shopping if that counts anyway but I didnt stop lol x

Clothes shopping defenitly counts as exercise ,well i hope it does as i do it often enough but ive been cutting down on it just now as i am waiting until i am two sizes smaller before i buy new clothes .I am going to a bbq tomorrow so need willpower to resist having more than burger as that will be half my daily intake .Hope you are all doing well and sticking to it xx

karrie8 · 14/07/2013 16:34

Hi im doing not bad i started on a treadmill for a couple of days but i was exhuasted think i overdid it xx

karrie8 · 01/08/2013 12:17

Welldone yeah just a little at a time. Even if it just 5 mins and you build it up over time. When I first started exercising two years ago I hadnt done any for years I only could do 5 mins on crosstrainer it took a while till I could do up to 40 mins. Just go at your own pace :-) xx
