It just remains for me to wish you well.
Welcome to this forum. Weight loss is attributed to 80% of the food we eat and 20% to excercise. If you can manage the 80% portion, you will definitely drop the weight in a slow and steady manner. Don't follow any restrictive diet, aim to eat clean, healthy and satiating meals that will form a long term lifestyle.
All the very best!
hi.. im not usually inactive... but i broke my leg 5wks ago so i have been stuck on my bed or settee most of the time due to non weight bearing so can appreciate more what its like to be less mobile !.. i am also aiming for another 4stone off.
ive put on 2lbs since stopping my exercise routine but i have been doing chair exercises each day to keep me moving.
As others have said weight loss is definately more about your diet than exercise and im sure if i had kept to my low carb and calorie counting ways i would have lost weight but my main priority was eating to heal my broken bone so ive definately eaten more than i used to and also a lot of it was due to just plain 'boredom' rather than hunger.
My advise is to keep a food diary to see how much your actually eating now to see how you can make healthier choices to help you lose weight and also think i am thirsty or hungry when you reach for the food..
Good luck x
If I can lose a little then anyone can. I dont exercise because I feel too tired after work and I have a ten year old needing a lot of attention at night. I still lost a stone and two pounds and will keep going. You can do it here, I promise. We have such good loss statistics anywhere. We will be here for you.
