Hi there, 
I agree with so much emphasis on links between lack of exercise and weight-Weight loss should be secondary to exercise. You should see some of the 
dare I say larger more mature ladies in my Zumba class-they certainly put the youngsters and me(no spring chicken at 48)to shame. 
As a youngster I danced/swam and ice skated but gave it all up to concentrate on my O levels and deciding a career path. 5:2 has had rapid results 
and I need to up my exercise but do tend to shy away from walking (and running-no way) especially if it's raining. Besides,why should I go out in the rain wind and cold when my staffie refuses to leave the house 
I do admire your determination if only I could get the taste for exercise as I have the taste for this new way of dieting.....oops eating regime

Wet Walk Went Well!

I know there is a fair bit of debate about whether exercise means weight loss, but I think weight loss should be secondary to exercise anyway. Walking is a great way to improve mental health, sometimes I set off in a state of outrage about something or other, but by the time I've stomped through the countryside I feel a lot better in my mind. And I have "buns of steel" from all the uphill bits so something must be working out right! I've done my fair share of town walking as well - I award points for curtains and lampshades
Managed to stay quite a bit under TDEE yesterday and today is the second Fast day of the week, I'm prepared with sparkling mineral water! Have a great day and many thanks for looking in
