Keep calorie intake constant
gradually increase movement , stand up for longer , do resistance training
this will increase your deficit
don't drop calories11 -

Agreed. Keep in mind that once you've lost some weight and taken some pressure off your joints, you'll be able to start exercising and shedding more weight. But for now, the dieting part is going to be the most important.
How are you tracking your calories? Are you weighing everything with a good scale??3 -
Congrats!! You're doing great!

Yes i have a good food scale.2

Hasn't quite been a month yet, right? And you haven't had that fancy body-weight scale for that whole time either.
I'd say WOOT on the ten pounds lost, my friend. :flowerforyou: Really well done!7 -

Agreed! Ten pounds a month is better than zero!5 -

Dude! 10 lbs in a month is amazing!
Be patient with this process. Pushing too hard may result in some short term gains, but won't matter in the long run. 2 lbs a week is a massive amount for your body to adjust to, especially when you want to focus on lowering your body fat % and minimize muscle loss.11 -
Yes...the body sure aches with extra weight on..I have 100-125 to lose. My feet and knees ache a lot. I try to do things that help with inflammation. Ice the joints...stretch...every 5 lbs you lose will be 15lbs of impact off your joints. You can do this. Be gentle with yourself and just focus on the food part right now and logging it in. Stretch...ice swollen joints throughout the day....as you lose weight...you can pick up walking a bit...0

just to say, I think you've done great so far. I understand you are eager to see the scales drop, but 10lbs is nothing to be disappointed about. You've got this, and all these people rooting for you!2

Actually 12 pound loss for the month is fantastic. Keep up the good work.4

Way to go. Look for how you are succeeding and not for reasons your success is not good enough. Remember every time you feel like progress is to slow, that Sept. 26th, 2017 @ 489 is the highest weight you are ever going to be for the whole rest of your life as long as you decide to not give up.
FYI - You can "be able to start training for a spartan race next year" no matter how much you lose. In fact, you can start now by walking.12 -
Cheering you on from Maryland!2
