    I lost over 90 pounds before I even began to walk.

    That's awesome.

    My mother had knee issues for the longest time where she had to sit for working out. There are some easy chair routines you might be able to do. I found these for her.

    There are other ways to workout than standing up doing stuff. :) Hope it helps.

    i think my issue may be portion control so ive got my little bowl out and if it doesnt fit in there, i know im over eating (its a trick my OLD nutrionist taught me). the ordered is because in the last month, ive slowly and steadily lost the ability to move my left leg. i could walk before but now i cant even swing it without issues. i dont have access to a pool (i live in the bush) so thats out. i cant walk so thats out. doctors have said that i have a lot of inflammation due to a muscle issue and a bone growth in my hip and pelvis so the movement of normal walking grabs on that bone growth and trashes the muscle fascia.

    my allergies are lettuce, califlower, chinese veg, brocolli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, melon, strawberries, kiwi fruit, oranges, onions, all beans, eschallots, garlic. if you google cruciferous vegetables and anything in the brassica family- cant eat it. garlic WILL kill me.

    i rarely order take out and when i do, its maybe once a month- once every two months is more realistic.

    im 165cm and currently 80kg.

    thankyou for those links to chair workouts, i will look into them! i used to be really fit and this whole sedentary thing isnt going well for me.

    my doctor may have thought i was still seeing my old nutrionist, who moved away so im on the hunt for a new one. ive got some smaller hand weights and i will start with those and move up in size. just need to get the heart working again! thanks all for your help! now i know where to start and i can stop freaking out! i willl try my hardest to get close to the target weight loss but i will do it in a safe and healthy way. if i dont make it there, well.... the doctor can deal with it!

    Low carb high fat helped me by eliminating a lot of my pain (cutting way back on processed foods) and I've lost a good 15 lbs. Without exercise. Check out these groups on mfp:. Keto, reddit keto, low carb high fat forum.....a lot of people disagree about eliminating carbs but it's helped with my pain......that's a big deal to me !!!!!!!!! (Not mention killed my sweet tooth) I wish you luck and hope you feel better :flowerforyou:

    EXACTLY this.

    After six weeks of the LCHF diet I have more energy, more patience, more focus, and 7 fewer kg. I don't crave food during the day and I sleep better. I have seen zero ill effects and tons of positive.

    Consider it.
