Hi J0chen1955 ,

Good Afternoon.

It is very normal to gain weight after reducing weight. It happens almost to every one who are in a weight reduction programme.

Please see if you can replace walking with cross trainer(fat burn mode). It helped me a lot when I was in a weight loss mission. Please note that this change takes 3-4 months to work.

All the best.

Cheers.

Ok I'm 66 year old. I have hart failure, two enlarged hart chambers. Also have AF.

Don't think cross trainer is the answer for me.

Thank you for the suggestion.

how long did you exercise and how much weight did you lose?

Hi soni1 , I did walking for 45 mins to 1 hour a day for 6 months or so and I ended up losing around 6 kilos. After that I had used cross trainer and it took almost a year to lost another 5 kilos.

Hi,

From my experience exercise alone only contribute towards loosing weight. Diet, portion control and eating 2 meals a day do help towards loosing weight.

Time between evening meal and breakfast need to be longer, only fruit for lunch do help as well. I could do this when I was working, I will walk to a market fruit shop, but one large orange and one avocado, walking time 40 minutes and both fruits for lunch.

Now retired, difficult to do this. The other day I took my car for service without and drink or food and walked home it took 1 1/2, I did not want a life and my wife went mad for doing this, I did this to proof to myself that my body is functioning properly at 74.

I read that if you can walk to the 4th floor of a building and did not experience any problems then the body is healthy!!!

Loosing weight is fine but new cloths cost a lot of money. I was clearing my old cloths and found 17 1/2 collar shirts now days I wear size16.

I am maintaining my weight.

Take care.
