I did--but I tried the Shovelglove movements to see what they were like pretty quickly. You can start just with a pole of some kind--no need to buy a sledge hammer right away. I use a real garden shovel--weighs about 4 lbs. Even then I have to take it easy.
Walking is a better way to get started, I think.
But the main thing is forming good habits with eating. If you just want to start there, that's great.

I've always walked a lot, so I guess I added No-S to that. I've never added shovelglove; I can't do it for health reasons.

Like wosnes, I can't do the regular shovelglove due to health reasons. But I make a point of doing some type of exercise every day. I'm not overly fond of exercising but figure it's an important part of the No S program.

Sorry for the double post; I don't know how that happened!
I like "lifestyle" exercise from carrying groceries to scrubbing floors to doing outdoor work. It all counts.

Like, wosnes, I added No S to an established habit of exercise rather than exercise to No S. If exercise is new to you, I would concentrate first on No S then on exercise. However, assuming you are in the Northern hemisphere, this is an easy time of year to add in some walking without thinking about exercise.

I did, too. I was getting some exercise before, but have systematically increased it over time. 14 minutes of anything a day can be a good plan, or more or less depending on what works for you. Over time as you lose weight it gets easier. I enjoy exercise more now, although generally my preference would still be to read a book or watch
Glee!

We do go for a small walk in the evenings, I have a 3 1/2 yr old, he likes to go for a walk. It might add up to a mile.

Hey, that's great! I'd say you don't need to add anything else for now.

I still haven't added consistent exercise and I've lost 30 lbs. 16% of my weight over two years.
