Cross Trainer - brilliant piece of equipment - can be hard work starting on them but great.

Well done for the weight loss - that's a great achievement - even better that you're maintaining it.

Wow, that's a ridiculous weight lose. can't be healthy to drop it that fast! But well done!

I had been cutting down on bad food and stuff at the time as well so the exercise probably just helped shift the weight off

Just for the record (because I keep thinking about it) I know 11 stone makes me sound huge, but I wasn't that big My mum weighed less than me at the time and she was bigger.

I think it varies for different people, like a fat person could be 9 stone and a skinny person could be 13 stone. Doesnt bone size have something to do with it as well?

I'm slim... but I would put on weight easily if I didn't work at it. Very few carbs, no sugar at all, exercise, I walk whenever I can, always take the stairs, go to the gym even though I hate it... and I take at least a day off a month or I would go mental.

I'm scared to cut it out completely. I'll try to cut down!
