Hello from Northern WI I used to live in Milwaukee welcome!

It can be done just keep at it find something you can live with and make it happen

you are not "too old" to lose weight what kind of exercise or moving you do does not matter so long as you do it the biggest thing you do to lose weight is portion sizes not the type of food but how much of it the type of food matters IF you have a disease like diabetes then you need to pay careful attention to carbs and…

Sounds fun ! I volunteer as tribute !!

Like the others said listen to your doctor I can tell you what I did I was diagnosed type 2 at the start of Dec 2013 my doc wanted to put me on meds for that and blood pressure and cholesterol I said I can't go on meds my autistic son would get into them and they would kill him So I put myself on a strict diet and exercise…

I basically eat the same thing daily the above list was a good one I also have kids who eat things differently that I do I tend to go to the store daily to get odds and ends we need I shop based on my menu staples I have in the house at all times would be peanut butter jelly bread eggs milk almond milk oatmeal assorted…

I went through my closet I got all my larger sized clothes and things I do not like and got them out of there I then would go to rummage sales and thrift stores to get clothes I was also lucky enough to have a few friends who were so impressed with my weight loss ask me what sizes I would need and they asked around and…

I walk a LOT but I did not start out doing a lot of walking I started out small 15 minute walks a day and increased those to 30 minute walks then 45 minutes on the treadmill plus other walks having a fitbit inspired me to move more now I just walk because I like to you have to find YOUR thing and like another said fake it…
