Weight

Can anyone advise me on my weight?

I'm 5'6" and have always been thin but about a year ago I was 9st10lbs up from 8st4lbs a decade ago. I didn't like where the extra weight was accumulating around my 'apron' area and have gradually been losing weight. When I was diagnosed with T2 in March I started reducing carbs and fasted occasionally and more recently have drastically reduced carbs and the weight is dropping off more quickly and have got down to 8st7lbs.

I'm wondering what weight to aim for. If I want to stabilise at my current weight should I increase carbs. As an aside, I've ordered a meter but it hasn't arrived yet so not sure which carbs suit me. My carb consumption recently has been 50g per day as opposed to 150g per day a year ago, I've used fitness pal on and off over the years so have some data to go on. I wonder if I should do some specific muscle building exercise - however I'm in my 60s and wonder if that ship has sailed!

Ah thanks for that. Also I'm T2 although in my arrogance when first diagnosed I presumed prediabetic until I had the full results through! Have tried change that status but doesn't appear to have worked.

Hmmm bulkbiker, never been comfortable going to gyms so going to work on exercise at home and see how it goes. Walking is more my thing.

Hi Ickihun. I do a bit of swimming but currently have ear problems so avoiding at the mo. I was thinking of weights but not sure what to start with.

Also have mild osteoarthritis and one hip complains if I do too much impact type activities. For example, I have a rebounder but find it causes hip pain.
