    You dont swim or can not swim anymore?

    And yes when not losing weight or inches for 2 months you eat to much calories. Weigh your food or eat less.... so take less calories in to create a deficit

    I bought my electronic food scale from my corner grocery store for $15.

    Weighing every little thing you eat is not a prerequisite for weight loss, it is however the very first thing i would look at and do if I wasn't losing weight.

    As for exercise, you don't need a gym. As mentioned, there are tonnes of you tube videos if you can be bothered, or do what i do and walk, walk and walk some more. Walking is the only exercise I do, and it's certainly better than nothing.
    I don't have a credit card either, but I do have a debit card, all banks offer them.

    I'm down 81 pounds since last January and I don't own a food scale nor have I ever stepped foot in a gym. You're eating more than you think.

    I can still swim but its a long drive and not a inside pool. I will keep trying i am tyered of being in pain every day with the extra weight on my ankles. Would interval training with running and walking help speed up the weight loss problem?also what is the ideal length for each one to have the most benefits? Please and thank you for posting.

    Weight loss start in the kitchen eat less calories and you will lose weight
    When you are not losing weight your calorie intake is to high.

    So only solution when you can not eyeball your food...like most of us... to buy a food scale and start weighing your food
    The little portion calories you "earn" with exercise you can use to eat back a part to fuel your body again.

    But like most people said here your problem is in your calorie intake
    You can run walk, swim or do any exercise you want, but when your intake is to high you still wont lose weight.

    And with such bad ankles...just walk till you are strong and light enough to run.
    I walked to start with the first months and i swam.

    Now i jog indeed, but took me some time to get used to it. And when you say your ankles hurt of the weight i wouldn't run at all and be very careful

    I don't have a credit card, either, but found a cheap food scale at Walmart for $10. I also found a nice bakers scale for $15 at homesense. Pharmacies, some hardware stores, supermarkets have these scales, too. Also, YouTube has fantastic exercise videos. There's always fitnessblender, too. Since losing weight, I haven't been to the gym, either. I walk, do exercise DVDs, YouTube, whatever I feel like doing that day. Losing weight isn't about exercise, though, it's about calorie deficit.

    Don't let anything get in the way of losing weight. No more excuses. You can do this.

    I was just in Aldi today. They had digital food scales for $9.99. Aldi even accepts cash! :wink:
