THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well no one posted since I was on last so I will just edit this instead!!!!!!!
I was thinking tonight that I feel soooo much better than I have in a while. I actually feel like I want to excersize and do stuff. I have even been "running " up the stairs. Which is great for me. I am doing wee excersizes most days. Little bits not big stuff ( Like you Yoga folks!!!) because I get sore if I overdo it. Though I have actually been dancing a bit with our disabled son Danny which is good because he loves that. I am not going to pretend I have been a good girl and lost loads of weight or anything cause I haven't. I do feel better in myself though and I feel that my shape has changed and although I still have a spare tyre round my waist I can actually feel my stomach muscles tightening. After being sooo large with a twin pregnancy and major stomach surgery over the years - I feel so glad to know I really do still have muscles there at all!!!!!!!! I don;t think I will ever get to be able to wear a bikini but if I manage to look ok in a swim suite I am going to be soooo happy.

Its been such a struggle for me and so frustrating I have stopped posting my weight because I got sooo darn depressed at not loosing anything. I just felt a constant failing every week!!!!!! So I just tell myself weight matters little its how I feel and my energy levels and all that. My Dh sat and watched a TV programme about Fat people with medical issues. He has found encouragement to get himself back into shape which we both need. You all know how good he is with the cakes etc. So I do hope he is able to do a little excersize and feel better in himself. His hands have been giving way a lot recently and his ligaments in the hands are shortened so I have to take him tomorrow for injections into his hands and arm - I feel for him sooo much. Its gonna hurt!!!! At least his parkinsons tests came back negative but we still don;t have answers to some issues - we are waiting to go back for more cardiac tests but the dye apparently is in short supply so we have to wait for at least 16 weeks which seems an age for someone whos had heart issues.
Anyhow there isn;t anyone on here so I am away to bed I think as I am to drive DH to the Hospital tomorrow!!!!!

I hope you know any exercise is better than none,wish I could get with it myself.

All the current info is exercise is accumulative, a few minute here and there done thoughout the day all add up, you don't have to do it all in one time. The important thing is to find thing/s you can consistantly do, and dancing is a very effective weight loss/ exercise. I am so glad you are feeling better about yourself and your body, that is the biggest part of the battle (the brain not the hips). Hope it goes well for your husband.

Yes but it is really hard to Karl - I find the few minuites before is the worst!!! - Deciding to do it! Once I actual get the old boots on and the lead on the dog I am fine!!!! But I really suffer if I walk too far. The next day I am crippled with pain in my knees and hips. - thats what I don;t like! So I have been doing little bits and hoping I wont get problems. I have been doing little steps and so far its been ok. Walked the Dogs this morning which pleased them but my knees ache now. So we will see how that works out tomorrow!!!!

THe best bit recently is finding I have stomach muscles again!!

I haven;t felt them work in ages and I see feet when i look down!!!! And they are mine!!!

Have to go Jess is here and she is nearly toddling now that will keep me on my toes re: excersize!!!
