2 stone 10 (38lbs) I date that from the beginning of August though, so it's slow & steady.

He's not a personal trainer so he doesn't work all the days I am at the gym, so he isn't actually overseeing me. But we went through all the exercises in meticulous detail, using the mirrors and how it felt when I was doing it right. When he is there he will always talk to me, but it won't necessarily be when I am doing my floor work.
In Bums, Tums & Thighs today there was a sequence which involved stepping across the room in lunges! There and back 4 times (not all at once, 4 different occasions). I didn't even attempt a full lunge, just dropped the appropriate leg slightly.
But then some of the women in that class had the bodies of athletes. I was so depressed by how unfit I was I nearly cried off Step, but the teacher talked me into it. I stayed behind to talk to her - she's lovely. She said only to do what I was comfortable with, and gave me some alternatives. Same teacher for each class but BTT is a hugely popular, about 30 people. Step is tiny, about 8. Both were value for money, although now I feel like I need to rise to the challenge of 2 back to back every Monday
