Nettie: 14kg sounds like a great goal! Bummer about the heel spurs, they really hurt What about some swimming? That is going to be one of my main forms of exercise whilst the weather is still warm, and it would take the pressure of you feet perhaps? Hopefully you will be able to find some way to fit it in,m with your job and ds (whose pic on your ticker is simply adorable )

Tracey: Thankyou so much for posting in here, and with such fantastic advice! I agree completely, small steps! I am doing exactly as you suggested; starting by cutting out bad foods, drinking more water and walking more. I have also checked out your site and read about callanetics, and am intrigued. I am sooooo unmotivated by gyms (been there, done that) and would prefer something I can do at home. One question though; would callanetics still be okay to do alongside other exercises (walking and swimming for me) that will make me lose weight?

Afm, happy new year all Here's to a happier and healthier you! I have already started drinking more water, and am resisting the junk food cravings. Have had breakfast, which is hard for me. I hope I can help keep you ladies motivated, and you I. We can achieve this
