I want to do some exercise, but i have agoraphobia and cant leave the house, so ive looked at exercise bikes , treadmills etc but the max weight is way below my weightjust wondered what everyone else does for exercise, any tips would be great

I just got a exercise bike, I know they are all way under my starting weight, well still are under my weight now but never had a issue with mine, in my opinion you will be fine on a exercise bike.

I use the kids Wii to do zumba and Just Dance. I also have a few DVDs and use some of the exercise progs that come on those sky fitness channels. Sometimes I just dance around the living room to my MP3. Probably look a right idiot but anything that gets me moving and sweating is enough for me.
Really pleased you said that about the bikes James, being wanting one for a while but the ones that take anything near my weight are an absolute fortune.
Wk 1 - 5 lost 16 lbs
Wk 6 - 13 lost 18lbs
Mini Target 279lbs DONE
Next Mini Target 250lbs

I use a kettlebell and the kettleworx DVDs. I also do Turbo Jam and Davina McCall's Cardio Box. If you don't like going outside, DVDs could be good for you.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off of the goal.
We would accomplish more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
