Brilliant weight losses guys...
Just wondering what type of exercise you guys do?,
I need something I can slot in here and there but keep up with during the school holidays, I thought if I got something established like that now it would be easy to stick to. At the moment I do zumba once a week and a couple of half hearted exercise dvds as and when. I'm going to join the local gym hopefully tomorrow, but as it's going to be free sessions as money is tight the times available are going to be absolute pants to manage during the school holidays so I know I won't be able to go regularly then. I love running got part way throught the couch to 5k programme then lost the plot during the easter holidays, so although I'm intending to pick it up again in the next week or so I know it is something else I can't stick with during the 6 weeks holiday other than the odd evening run..
I do have an exercise bike but it bores me using it, every minute seems like an hour even if I'm watching tv...

Thanks Arctic:hug99:
Whoo 9 lbs thats a hell of a variation, reassuring to know though as I've rarely fluctuated as much as I have this week, unless I've been on holiday or something.
Oh well busy day ahead, I've got a quick job on this morning then back to tackle the garden so I'll be active all day maybe that'll shift a few ounces

3lb off for me this week. 
With regards to exercise I do the exercise bike.... started the 30 Day Shred 3 days in and irritated my Achilles tendon (which has been ruptured in the past) so I have been off it for a few days to let it settle. I walk every day which tends to average about 3-5 miles and the Wii Fit. I got some kettle bells a few weeks ago but have yet to see the DVD through to the end as they are bloody heavy. I think after doing the shred DVD to the end my stamina will have improved.

Hi Everyone!
I am just starting Slimming World from home. Can I join in your thread please?! I have done SW in the past so know how to do it and can't get to classes. The only thing I've found difficult in the past about not going to class is finding out syns but it Google seems to know most of them now SW has got so popular!
Well done to everyone who has been losing

Welcome to anyone just joing us
Great losses going on, I am feeling positive for the week ahead so fingers crossed I can get a good loss too.
Exercise - I don't do any at the moment, apart from the school run and even that isn't everyday as somedays I drive because of getting back for dinner and clubs etc... I have EA Active on the ps3 and also have the shred dvd although I have twice attempted it, but never got past week 2! In september I am due to start uni and the kids will all be in school/pre-school/nursery, so I will should have a bit of 'me time' meaning I can join a gym or go running or something? In the meantime I might give the shred another go. Hopefully by then I may have lost a stone or more and feel a little more able to exercise too

Thanks for the replies on the exercise front, the shred thing seems pretty popular, I've seen it mentioned on the site tons of times, so I will investigate it, I need something that works me else I'll get bored...
Vegan 4 life, those kettlebells are a killer, I've got them and found a dvd to use with it but they are so big and hard to hold that I'm scared it's going to fly out of my hands and smash the TV, plus I bought a kettlebell dvd and for some reason all the exercises are shown using a dumbell so it's not helpful to see if you are doing things correctly....
I remembered I brought the Zumba for the WII before I started classes and couldn't get on with it as I couldn't make sense of the moves, I'll have to try it again now I've been going for a year as it might make sense then again maybe not I'm not the worlds most co ordinated person

There's no way I've lost any weight this week, but going to go to the beach in the morning and have a nice walk, then go swimming later on, hopefully the exercise will do me some good after being stuck in writing for 3 weeks! Then start c25k on Friday. Good luck with your WI's everyone x
