Hello all I started walking as my main excercise last month. I currently weigh 90kg and 5.2 in height. I need to reduce to 60kg. I can only manage 2.6 speed at moment but compensate by walking 5 miles. T do tae bo for 10 minutes on my rest days. Any suggestions on how I can increase my speed?

Very well done

At moment I walk with a goal of doing 10000 steps 3 days a week running intermittently for 2 minutes during the walk. So far I have achieved my goal most of the week. So far I have not lost any weight but have more energy and body shape change.

wonderful and you are in inspiration to all those with diabetes.

well done. what did you do to keep your motivation?

Cebreisch & mandylanerocks thanks for your advice. I am very hard on myself and will try and take it easy. I still lost some weight though - so you are right eating healthy is the key

Hi will love some BFF as well - i live in kent and work in housing. I mainly use the treadmill and walking and i log in most days.

for me it was eating nuts and drinking lots of water - that got me through.:smile:

take a break but keep it up - it may take a while but it will certainly start shifting.

I am new but found this thread interesting - another question for all you good people - i am seeking advice. I seem to have gained back the 2 pounds i lost since i joined. I did not stick to the recommended daily calorie recommended for me cos i was struggling to work out my calorie intake. Most of my meals are home cooked…

I am currently on metformin - 2 tablets twice a day. i have not really taken this diabeties thing seriously until it started affecting my life. I am determine to change things and have given myself 2 years to loss 5…
