Good for you gman! I still find stairs difficult - shouldn't have moved to a bungalow! :)

Keep up the great work! :)

Never! If you keep using the stairs, you'll keep being able to! :)

wow, well done. Have you got a pedometer or tracker on your phone, it's amazing what encouragement they give you when you can see what you've done. Some of them have history on them, but I write mine down each day so I can look back and be proud of the improvement.

Hi Caz 28

I've got an app on my phone ,if my phone's not on me then I lose so many steps. I am going to get a pedometer so I can track every step.

Hi less to lose,

I used to do them all the time ,then I started to get the lift.if I don't have anything to carry then I do the stairs as much as possible it also depends on how often I leave the office.thanks for your reply.

That is a great plan, gman! I live on the 2nd floor and take the stairs all the time, plus those at work. I remember, 6 stones ago, how I used to huff and puff, now I sometimes (not often!) run up them!

Hi anna61

Thanks during my lunch I walked down and up ,it's too easy to just sit down at lunchtimes.

When I worked at our local hospital I spent my lunch break either walking a circuit round the building (in good weather) or walking up and down stairs (in bad weather). Trouble was that many days came and went with not a sniff of a lunch break...
