Well..... I know exercise is non-negotiable, but .... confession time... I hadn't done any. I'd planned to wait until I got down to 15 stones (210 lbs) which is pretty close now... so I'm running out of excuse time!!!
Years ago I had my own home gym and did the full works, but I've found it so hard to get motivated since putting on so much weight. Anyway today we came back from some shopping, and realised that we had left two letters which needed posting, in the kitchen. My hubby picked them up, but before he could say 'I'll go to the postbox,' I whipped them out of his hand and said 'I'll walk down the postbox!' He just stood and looked at me open mouthed, which is understandable, as I've spent the last 5 years avoiding any exercise as much as possible!
To be honest I surprised myself, as I hadn't been planning to do any exercise today - I just felt that I actually wanted to go for a walk, which I haven't felt for ages/ So he could get on with some phone calls he had to make, and I went for a lovely walk! It worked out about a mile to the postbox and back, but then I added a walk around the conservation area on the way back, which just about doubled that.
I'm so happy that I'm going to add two smilies!!

good for you getting out and walking! That's the best exercise and start to a healthy relationship with exercise. You'll be amazed at the amount of energy you will find, the inches that will decrease from your body, and you'll sleep really good at night. You might find that you're very tired at first, but keep going because your body's learning how to have this new relationship with exercise.
