[QUOTE="francesk, post: 2234057, member: 192328"] Thank you for your answers. I'm trying to do low carb without raising my fat intake too much. I've always had a bit of a tummy in any case, I was a slightly overweight child and grew up to be an adult who was always a bit fatter than her friends! I've managed to lose quite a bit of weight in the last two years after being very ill, and in hospital for nearly four months before that. When I came out I couldn't walk at all, and when I did manage to get back on my feet, developed sciatica which lasted for 18 months! While they were trying to sort the sciatica out, they found out about the arthritis in the spine. It means I find it difficult to bend and lift, which is a nuisance as I used to work with horses! So because of recently going on to trulicity injections I'm monitoring my blood sugar very carefully. I try to stay under 50g carb a day, eat healthily and have lost 5.5kg in three weeks, which I am happy about. I walk, and do exercises on a stationary bike, and use a ring to try and strengthen my arms, and general housework - vacuuming, dusting etc. I really can't afford to join a gym - every penny counts, at present. I will try to swim again soon, I'm lucky enough to have a friend with her own pool. I just wondered if anyone can suggest any gentle exercises I could include (not sit-ups!) that might help. Thank you all very much. [/QUOTE]
