I have another weigh in approaching (Monday) and as usual I'm not looking forward to it. I did have a blip a few weeks back when the kids were away and I think I put about 3lb back on. So if I've maintained for the month of February, whilst not happy about it - I'll have to accept it!
I got to the gym last Friday and even made it into the health spa! I sat in the steam room for a good while, followed by a brief jacuzzi and then out. I enjoyed the diversity.
This week I went to the gym on Monday. Still pushing for 30 mins treadmill, 15 mins bike, 5 mins arm cycle and 3 mins wave or stepper. It works out about an hour long session, with time to move from machine to machine & catch my breath in between. But is this enough? Should I be aiming for more? I try and aim for 3 gym session per week. I couldn't really find the time for anymore!
Last night, because time was an issue, I opted for 12 mins on the VibroPlate. It's meant to be the same as one hour in the gym. I would disagree to some extent but I did feel it in my leg muscles and believe it must be an added bonus if I work it into with my trips to the gym.
Tonight, because of a tummy bug, I didn't dare leave the house for the gym!

Wow, Lorraine, you are doing great with the exercise. Remember when you weigh in that muscle weighs more, so even if you've maintained you've still made a big difference!
3 hours a week is a great amount of exercise, because what you are doing is all getting your heart rate up! You are a star!!!!!
Thanks Deirdre x I am happy with the fact that I'm actually going to the gym. I know I'm in for the long haul with regards to weight loss but can already push myself a little further / harder on the machines with out feeling like I'll pass out!
