Is low carb working for you ? I am interested if it does on what you eat - for advice in a typical day . My weight is stagnant. Would love a few prompters please .

Yes I started 8 of 2019 @328lbs, now at 268, but a slow period during covid but still trying to stay on this low carb not diet, New Way Of Life!!. Winter months I don't exercise as much but I still stay active. Check it out!!

Winter months try You Tube . It becomes addictive.

Ok what am I looking at ??

[focused1 Maintainer 13kg in reply to Herman7275]

Depends what you want ? Zumba is brilliant cardio if you like music . Gentle stretching at first - saying gentle coz you will think hey - this is easy but done properly and you will feel it . Type in anything you want to focus on - so say - arms and you can just stand up and work those arms and you will feel as though you have swung them a 1000 times . If you have an exercise bike , running machine then don't pay crazy sub fees as You Tube has that . I use it via my TV screen so I can see the exercises more clearly .

Hey thanks, I will look into that!! I thought maybe there would be these type of ideas 💡 that out to use but have not heard of yet!!

I just use the free stuff - enough of it . Another good source is the free Myfitnesspal . I used primarily as a daily diary , calorie counter , barcode scanner and simple macros but it has fitness too . Even if you just get the names of these people and look then at if they do anything on You Tube . Hopefully the weather gets warmer although my son who lives in Sacramento , California had to escape to Hawaii for some winter sun.

First trip to USA was this Xmas and New Year to Brooklyn and Manhattan. Great -loads to see but as fast food is so cheap compared to sit down restaurants then I could easily be addicted to cream cheese bagels - 4 dollar’s from bakery that was open till 2am and wow insanely tasty ! We live near Manchester UK but plan soon to move near the coast .
