Come Monday I am going to have a crack at the 12 week eat healthier diet.

Feeling quite positive, the only thing I am Worried about is I have a bad knee and am wondering how to do the exercise.

Good luck both of you with the 12 week weight loss programme.

Urssy, if you have a look on the internet you can probably find some exercises that you can do with a bad knee, you will have to use your own judgement if you think you are up to it. It must be difficult exercising with a bad knee as everything involved your legs. Are you seeing a physiotherapist ?

Let us know how you are going on with the programme. I've decided not to do it as I would find it hard and do find it hard to eat 5 a day as I don't like fruit and also doing the 150 minutes of exercise a week.(because I'm lazy) I will do my best to loosely follow it as in do as much exercise as I can and eat more veg etc but I wont be sticking to it strictly.

I find it very difficult to get motivated where exercise is concerned and I have a slipped disc in my back so I'm restricted to what exercise I can do as you will be Urssy.

The Strength and Flex workout plan doesn't involve running and can be done indoors (mercifully!)

Also we;ve got exercises for knee-strengthening:

Hi guys.

Thanks for the comments.

I will defiantly try the exercises.

One more day and then I will start. Have put the time table for next week up on the kitchen cupboard door and have brought some food in the shopping.

Feeling quite positive.

Oh as for knee I have a torn cartridge which may need a op this year. So I have stood weeks and bad weeks.

When it's good I do walking and using weights (arms) have had to give up cycling as getting to painful. Have put name down for a new water Zumba class next tue, so I'm hopping being in the water will be good.
