stationary weight range despite regular exercise, health eating and NO snacking or drinking alcohol:-(

[dronasharma]

I am 167 cms tall and was 72 kgs in March this year. I started walking daily for an average of 7miles a day at an even pace [ it takes me about 140 minutes in two sessions].

Today I am 62.4 and fluctuate by about a kilo- DESPITE NO CHANGE in what I do!

I am trying to reduce my risk of Diabetes and hypertension and wish to be closer to the lower limit of my normal range.

Any suggestions would be welcome

Hi and welcome, dronasharma

You are at healthy BMI, which is probably why your weight isn't reducing any more.

To reduce your risk of diabetes and hypertension, you'd probably be better limiting your consumption of carbohydrates, especially sugar and mixing up your exercise routine, to include strength training and other forms of cardio, maybe some HIIT?

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.

You have the answer there in your own words, dronasharma . No change - in my experience, if you keep doing the same old same old, you get the same old result. Something needs to change. I'm sure there are lots of options for you and people will make suggestions on here which you might find helpful. I would say check how many calories you should be consuming firstly- are you eating enough? That might sound odd, but undereating can make our bodies store fat, going into starvation mode it's called. Or maybe the balance of carbs to fat and protein needs tweaking. I don't know -tell us more about what you eat and the lovely helpful people on here will help you. Good luck!
