I wish I could go swimming, there is no place around here to do it. I'm basically a shut in because I have a immune system disorder (Rheumatoid Arthritis). Because of Covid I'm to limit my exposure to the public. I go to the market for food, and the doctor's offices, not much else. I can walk 2000 steps around the house on a good day, 3000 sometimes, 5000 makes all my joints hurt. I'm interested to see if I can lose weight counting calories at my current level of activity. I do have a cactus garden, maybe I can go pull some weeds.

I love swimming; it's my favorite activity.
But last year, I had nowhere to swim either. And I could barely manage a (1/4 mile) walk around the block. But I fixed an old recumbent stationary bike, and began riding that. Another option is to watch and participate in (as best you can) cardio workouts on YouTube. Marching in place, side to side, back and forth, doing leg raises, toe touches, etc.

It's certainly possible to lose weight without increasing your current activity/exercise, but I think it's far easier to combine exercise and diet rather than just diet alone.

Hi I’m Janice. A 61 year old grandmother of 5 with another one on the way. I work as a medical receptionist. I’ve been a yo yo dieter for years. Losing and gaining the same 10 kgs. Last year I had what seemed to be a gall bladder attack. I was advised weight loss would help the situation. I’ve been doing Keto or low carb and have lost about 6 kgs since May. I feel like I’ve finally found something that works for me because giving up sugar has given me control over my appetite. I am eating all the things I deprived myself of before. Bacon, fried lamb chops, cheese, nuts etc. I still have chocolate and ice cream sweetened with Stevia and the like. I don’t feel deprived.

Check-in for Tuesday
Track: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: oh boy, yes. I sat all day long at work. Usually there's opportunities to get up and walk around, but yesterday did not allow for it. I got home and was exhausted. At 7pm I got out of the chair and did my workouts. So proud I avoided the dreaded chair gravity!

@jeepkat1 I too have an autoimmune disease, Crohn's for me.. this pandemic has made me so nervous I'm basically a hermit as well. *Hugs*

Sorry for being MIA the last few days, I've been suffering from migraines 😩

Thank you for the warning I will take it to heart. But... I never said people should not be vaccinated and I have been urging people to get the vaccine. If you take a look at the CDC website, it say's that even if you are vaccinated you can still get Covid. There are risks. It's up to each individual to access the risk's and decide for themselves. It's just like any other vaccine in that regard.

@ToadstoolBetty - ugh broken sleep is so hard. I love cool nights for sleeping too - so nice!

@colleen790 - Welcome! Sounds like you’ve found a system that works for you. So important to not feel deprived!

@jilly__b0nes - so sorry you’ve been suffering a migraines, hopefully feeling better now

@jeepkat1 - your check-ins are looking good! Great job!

Wednesday/Thursday check-ins:

Track: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: yes, but only the bare minimum yesterday. My husband caught a cold (yes, COVID test negative) and has been fighting it since last week. He finally managed to hand it off to me yesterday. I am feeling a bit off, but so far nowhere near as bad as he’s felt all the last week. I’m hoping this is as bad as it gets for me - I can still somewhat function.

Thursday 9/2 Check In
Track: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: yes
I'm doing good with my 1200 calorie a day plan. I went to see Primary Care doctor and my Rheumatologist today and both are very happy with my weight lose so far. I started my journey at 245 so I'm doing good. I need to get a Covid Booster as soon as possible. People with autoimmune disorders may require a booster per my Rheumatologist.

Nice losses @frankwbrown, @cindyk4919, and @toadstoolbetty! Way to go! And good job on the take out @jilly__b0nes - sometimes that is a real challenge!

Friday 9/3 Check In
Track: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: yes
It was a challenge today to eat all of my calories since I had Squash Noodles for lunch. I just added bag of Simply Steam veggies to bring it up. I also had a snack of kettle corn popcorn, 100 Calorie bag.
