Hi Ammie,

I have got a lot of weight to lose too, so I know the feeling about the waist measurements, mine has only budged a tiny bit. But bear in mind what Elizellen said - you may be losing that weight from around your body organs, and after all, that is the important place for it to be happening!

I was thinking about getting a cross trainer myself, but unfortunately the ones I could get at Argos don't quite cater for my weight!! (I use my bike when I am out for my exercise, but for you that is not an option at the moment). I think a treadmill would be a grand idea for you, if you have the room in the house.

A guy I know has a multigym in his conservatory - had LOTS of fun on that when I visited - he was surprised how strong my legs were - I told him that after years of carrying all this weight around my legs are very strong indeed!

Keep up the amazing work and remember that every day you stick with this, you are getting healthier.
