Question

I'm now at 219 and want to lose the 19 pounds. Tips?  

Answer 1

No sugar, no flour, diet is way more important than exercise. So if it’s hard to have willpower for both, focus on the diet. And good luck, you got this!

@caudate5 so true. my job is pretty active , so I never had anything left in me for a workout. Lost 30# that way. Now I am laid off, so I added 45 min of walking a day, but what you eat and drink is the biggest factor.

I came across this info in several podcasts and books by MDs that I looked into on the subject. Exercise is really important for your brain and other functions. For weight loss - diet is #1. On a side note, sorry to hear you got laid off, hopefully it’s not for long. Now that I’m home all the time, I make it a point to move more as well.

@caudate5 This is the first time I have ever been laid off. I'm an RN, but I work in elective surgery. Because I'm 63 years old ( young, really), I'm in a high risk group, so I just got furloughed. I'm hoping to get back in July. Not sure this retirement gig is working for me. stay healthy!
