    Thanks for the info folks..

    Euan - I would love to run, but my back just won't take it (christ I sound like a basket case...) I do tho, walk a fair bit and want to get my bike back out... (my next door neighbour has said he is going to get back out on his, so perfect timing )

    Good luck Craig
    If you can stick with it, you will really feel the difference.
    It's never going to be a quick fix, it's something that you have to view as long term.
    The trick is to find something you really like doing, I'm not a gym person myself tried it got bored real quick.

    Cycling is a good one; again if you need a cycling buddy I'd be happy to help also.

    good luck craig
    sure u'll get on just fine, why not take ur mini out for a wee thrash every week, that's a fair bit of a workout....

    but if u want to just stay in the house, exercise balls are good...i usually just sit on mine while watching the footie...gives you a workout without noticing

    but whatever you do, good luck

    forgot to say, euan...if u ever want a game of badminton give me a shout. Not played since i started uni but i surely cant have forgotten how to play

    and you really should be going to the gym to workout, not look at the young girls

    Best of luck Craig. Sure you can do it. As Scottie said I also think a slimming club would be a great help know a guy who was really overweight the difference after a couple of months was amazing. The thing is these people know what they're talking about and you get loads of support from other members.
