I wear trainer type walking boots rather than hard leather boots (had several pairs of the same brand/model now) and whilst they've needed the least breaking in ever, it's still been well worth while wearing them for short walks or around the house for a bit until I'm sure they are truly comfortable.
It's been two months since I decided to try to get fitter and lose weight. Today I weigh a paltry 3lbs less than I did then.
But, generally speaking, I have made more effort to swim and walk and I think I feel fitter than I did.
My husband is about to get "lifestyle advice" from the hospital, and I'm sure than losing weight will be part of that, although he has less to lose than I do. A joint effort is more likely to be successful.
I have reached my target weight (after losing 3.5 stone) and am finally allowed to eat stuff without weighing everything.
Granted I'll have to keep an eye on things but I'd sooner put on a few pounds and then go back on the wagon for a couple of weeks than live on Slimming World's idea of what I should be eating permanently.

Brilliant.
I've lost two stone and I'm very close to my target weight. Should do it in two or three weeks. My knees thank me every day. 🙂
I have lost 1lb this week. We have been overhauling our diet in the wake of the discovery that my husband's blood pressure is too high, but at the same time I have had virtually no exercise, other than stress-cleaning. My husband is nervous of over-exerting himself, and also doesn't want to be left alone. If it stops raining I can get endless exercise attacking the garden, but everything is very soggy just now.
I'm hoping that once he's had his 72 hour heart monitor, he'll feel more confident.

Onwards and downwards!

Thanks. Being out in the Peak and sailing up slopes that would have had me stopping every two minutes six months ago makes it worthwhile.
