Comment on Do You Need To Lose Weight? by Caroline Palmer

I recently visited my GP to discuss my weight issues. I feel as though for my height and age I am slightly overweight.

I was quite surprised when he told me that my body is actually functioning perfectly. I have since started to exercise to lose weight for my own satisfaction and to feel more comfortable in my clothing.

I would recommend people to visit there GP to have a check up on their blood pressure, cholesterol etc. You may be surprised on your results!

I had a trainer who asked me to cut all carbohydrates out of my diet. Needless to say I lost quite a lot of weight but I only lasted three weeks before my body started to shut down.

After spending a few days in bed and getting myself healthy again I started a different diet that included all food groups in moderation. I have stuck to this method of eating for over a year now and continued to lose weight.

And for those who are wondering – I never trained with that trainer again!

I have four children who I have to get ready for school in the morning before going to work all day. By the time I pick them up from after school care go home cook dinner and finally get them off to bed I am too exhausted to do any exercise.

I would love to find something that motivates me to actually do something at night or on my lunch break. What would you suggest as a motivator for me?

Comment on Exercise and Weight Loss: How To Become More Active! by Brian Simpson

I used to always love playing rugby union at school. That was over ten years ago. Due to being so busy at work I never felt as though I had any time for exercise. All I wanted to do when I got home was relax and crack open a beer and I realised that I was putting on the weight and becoming more anti-social as I noticed my friend base dwindling.

I decided to join a touch football competition that plays regularly on Monday nights. Although hard at first I found myself progressively getting fitter and I was increasing my social network. I have made some great mates and improved my quality of life.

This is so true! I recently started exercising just half an hour a day after I dropped the kids off at school. I have since increased that to an hour or more a day and found ways to add it to my daily household chores!
