So I have decided in addition to my low carb lifestyle that the gym needs to happen. So far have managed to get levels down to "normal range" by losing 26kg and upping number of steps but know the rest of the weight - still 36kg to get to goal - will require more exercise! I hate exercise, but I also hated dieting and have done well with that so have decided I can now apply my new found will power to exercise. I intend to go 3 times a week to do something even if it is only walking on the treadmill for 30mins or swimming a few lengths. Will let you all know how I get on - anyone else starting a new exercise regime who wants to be a support buddy let me know!

Good luck joining the gym... I joined mine in August. Best advice I have is to experiment with different exercises and find the ones you enjoy, that way it doesn't become too much of a chore. Let us know how you do.

the good thing about following a low carb diet is you will still lose weight and lower your BG ,will you be having your hips done?,

Dislikes
Dishonesty, selfishness and lack of empathy.
I wish I could:(.Struggling to do any level of activity, even walking at the moment. Hope it goes well at the gym:)
