[QUOTE="Robin101, post: 1840983, member: 40478"] Hi there, and welcome to the T2 motivation channel! Actually there's thousands that wish it were, including me. And we all have individual stories, points of view etc. I think many of us do fall into that same category though. Haven't been too careful of weight and health, and for one reason or another, bingo! T2 It was a surprise to me too. Overweight for years, blamed it on giving up smoking, but mainly I like food, beer, parties etc? Then I have hypertension. No bother. Just take some pills -:carry on. Then out of the blue T2. The most immediate problem is diet. Most 'paid for' diets are short term and not really designed to work for all time. I'm a fan of Low Carb, High Fat - LCHF It's easier to adopt as a 'lifestyle' choice. It may seem a bit weird for some but there's alot of T2 that really do think it's worth it. And it's free! Motivation is also a bit 'short term'. The goal is to live as long and healthily as possible. I find breaking that down into shorter segments works. Aim to do whatever you can to lose weight, but make it achievable. I have averaged 2kg per month. It doesn't sound huge. But it's sustainable. Figure out which foods you really MUST avoid. Everyone has their Kryptonite Exercise. If you can then do. As much as you can fit in. Long periods of exercise tire me out, I lose energy before I actually reach any other physical barrier. So I am using an old old exercise program called 5BX. It isn't designed for super heroes, it doesn't make anyone rich, it isn't online or DVD or you tube! It takes no more than 12 minutes a day. No equipment, no special clothes or shoes. I think I have attached it here. (Ladies Version 5xbx, and Men's 5bx) main thing is it can and does work. I have gradually worked my way through to the fitness level expected for my age (61) and no intention of stopping there. I like it because progress can be measured. Motivation of sorts? I think the good news is - we are all here to support each other. Good luck.[URL]http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5b538dcd624a7/5%20xbx.pdf[/URL][URL]http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5b538ed2bf963/5bx_plan.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
