How do people do it? Get weight off with just diet. Hear people say they just watch what they eat (healthy and portioned) and are not at the gym for hours. Hear, do not let the calories get to low or high. But stuck stuck stuck. Before the foot/leg issue it was major work outs. Worked but after the 60ish - 70ish pound loss seemed stuck. More exercise, intervals, different kinds, eat more protein, eat less protein, more whole grains/ less whole grains, willing to stand on my head for eight hours if it would work again, but stuck. Then the foot/leg thing, effectively no more strong cardio stuff. Still active though. Gained to start but seem to have hit the stride to maintain ...
just not losing any more. Blood work shows thyroid holding, liver enzymes hovering but good for the most part, sugars and cholesterol good. BP excellent though they will not stop low dose of med. until the weight is gone (GRRR). There has to be a way to make this work.
Next week brings the new orthotic and hoping it will really make it possible to work with my foot again. Have to ask him if it could be placed in a water shoe for the pool. Miss the water work out so much. Either way if the orthotic works it will be hit the gym big time. Really want to see if the time away will have an effect on the effectiveness of the old workouts again. Maybe like starting over. Just thought, wonder if it could be put in a ballet style slipper for yoga work. That is also so missed!
Back to how do people make it work. Things are already portioned and weighed. Tracked and planned. Not asking for 5 pounds a week, just downward movement that adds up to something someday again. This is not meant as a gripe but a honest
help question.
