I didnt do my ea active all week and lost 3lb, yet the two weeks I was doing it I lost nowt!!! Hows that work??

Anyway I am going to stick with just walking for now.... School run alone is 2x30min walks and 3 on a wed & fri.

I am going to keep up with crunches and reverse crunches tho as after 4 kids my stomach muscles are shot! Im not going to do too much tho maybe 20 of each everyday, and build up slowly. Once I have got to my interim target of 11st 1lb then I might look at adding in the active again to aid the toning....

Exercise slows weightless down at first I find!! I remember a few years ago when I was exercising alot the scales didn't shift but everyone commented on how much weight I had lost. But I hadn't lost any weight just changed shape!!

Even now ppl at work tell me I look like I have lost weight but I haven't lost an amount that you would notice!!

Why is it so hard? xxx

Well done on the 3lb loss Redmel Exercise does slow you down to start off with but in the long run its extremely benificial for your health. No exercise for me yesterday and 20mins on EA this morning.

I am actually missing doing the ea active...might do it tonight lol.

I might be being dim but it only seems to let me set it four sessions per week. I wish it was more flexible as two-three would be better for me at the moment.

25 mins EA Active this morning. As of yet still haven't been able to get out on my bike!! September has been the worst month weather wise.

@ Redmel, Ive had a look at the EA this morning and I cant change it from four days to less. Unless you just do your 2-3days and ignore the days you have missed?
