well I decided to get on the scales this morning which I should have done last Sunday and I didn't.
The reason I hesitated and didn't weigh myself was because I have recently had a bout of labyrinthits which severly impacted on my mobility - very low steps less than 200 per day. My balance was so poor I couldn't physically do anymore 😲- I felt very down however I did get some wonderful support and advice from this site thank you for helping me put things in to perspective.😊 thank you again to those who contacted me I really do appreciate it.
Well I took the bull by the horns this morning and stepped on the scales. The reason for my hesitation was I felt if i had gained i couldn't deal with the disappointment.
I started my journey on 15th July about 6 weeks ago weighing in at 16.7 today my weight is 15.7. I have lost 1 stone and feeling delighted with my loss.
I have been able to increase my steps gradually but not where I want to be still residual balance issues therefore I am adopting the tortoise ethos at the moment.
Hope you all have a good week the weekend is not far away ☺
Sometimes, it's best to be the tortoise! You definitely don't want to push things too hard and have your recovery go backwards so I think you're doing the right thing. And it's not like a race, you have the rest of your life to win!
Oh thank you - brilliant idea you need to start the tortoise club ie Walkers 🐢V Runners💃. Good research idea moreless 😊
I wish I could run again we do take things for granted sometimes.
Believe it or not i used to run cross country for Lincolnshire when younger. I was then built like a marabou stork!
I only said to beloved whilst watching the Olympics power walking when your young no ever tells you to keep your fitness up or you will loose it. If only!😂
Hi concerned I am really interested In the low carb diets I am unsure on this fructose issue how it interacts with our body, is there a web site that you can recommend that gives basic information on the best diets to aim for.
My diet used to be awful, far too many fats and sugars, now I have changed it I feel much better but am aware I might not be eating enough categories of foods needed to keep the body healthy.
Thanks Bev
That's wonderful I'm so pleased for you and pleased to hear your better

Thank you E1 for your support. I am better than I was - still a little dizziness but not like it was.🐢
I am all for the tortoise club and keep telling myself that any number of steps is better than none at all but I do enjoy reading the achievements of others on the forum.
Thanks for posting the video I understand a lot more now and will look at the other videos he has done also.
Funny how this change of diet is really leading onto wanting to understand food groups and their benefits to the human body I realise how much brightly coloured packaged rubbish their is out there. ⭐️😊
I must be having a touch of dyslexia this morning... Thought you had a touch of ladybirditis.
Yes it could be ladybirditis🐞 or lazybirditis 🐲even better description due to constant balance issues struggling to get steps in. Anything other than labyarinthitis.
Thank you for your comments. I understand what your saying.
Have you looked on you tube for chair based exercises they are very good and may help you.
I have just bought a reebok resistance band and I am finding it very useful and you can do that sat down and I am really feeling the benefits. They come in different strengths I bought medium I think it was about 7.99 with free postage. AMAZON.
You can exercise pretty easily most of your body whilst seated. I do recommend them. There are cheaper options. 🐢☺
