Hi

haven't posted on here yet, have been having a bit of a bad week, wondered if anyone had some good exercise tips that can make me feel better, nothing obsessive, but to tone up, so that i don't just try and do it by not eating, hope that made sense

You are actually lucky. I have had a hell of a weekend trying to get a pair of trousers because a size 6 is too big. People on this site want to get better and will give advice to and support others on getting better but will not give tips on how to lose weight.

Ouch!
Nice to meet you. Have I misinterpretted your question? It seems to me you're asking us for ideas to live a healthy life. I don't believe you're asking us for tips on how to lose weight. Toning up is different isn't it?

Please, everyone, let's remember what Doug asked of us: be considerate of eachother. No one with any kind of eating disorder is "lucky". It's not about what size trousers you wear, it's about how you treat your body.

Use weights that helps tone. Cardio won't do that. Thats all I can say I don't want to get in trouble but I didn't think it was right that no one wanted to answer your question. I hope that helped a little bit.

I like using those weight balls... they're like softballs that weigh a few pounds... and lifting them slowly at different angles.

Not sure if its gonna work for you but it always helps me. I turn on my favourite music and start dancing the way i want. even if you are in the worst mood, dont stop at least for ten minutes. you can slow down but dont stop. Enjoy yourself, express everything you feel through your movements, let all the negative feelings go away and BE HAPPY!!! Take care!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
