[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2293473, member: 345386"] Exercise doesn't have to be the gym, or heavy duty stuff like pounding the streets. It can be gardening, walking - even parking at the furthest edge of the carpark, when going to the supermarket. In my life, when I go to town, I always park at the "top" of town and walk to the bottom, and back, no matter which shops I need to visit. It just adds a few steps to the count. At the moment, we are well into a big garden make-over. Whilst I haven't lost weight (I'm pretty slight already, so don't actually want to), I have gained muscle mass. Digging, turning over clay-rich soil, digging in LOTS of manure, then working on "hard" projects, involving concrete, paving and many cobbles, can be heavy going. My OH is an avid gym goer. He usually goes to the gym, or plays golf 5+ times a week. Curently, he's polaying a fair amount of golf, but has deferred restating his gym subscriptions, whilst we're doing the garden. He feels he is doing enough. Just try to do a bit more of what you do in your everyday life, then increase it a bit more still over time, until you feel the gym calling more comfortably. Maybe not over think it? As for grapefruit? My impressions is that's a bit of an urban myth, with the tarts taste curbing the appetite a bit for a while. That said, I can't say I've ever put it to the test. [/QUOTE]
