Any runners around the campfire?

The biggest part of the problem trying to loose weight isn't exercising, it's consuming less. Food in equals calories, those not burned turn to fat. If you keep eating the same amount, you're not really winning. Like shooting yourself in the foot to kill the ant under your shoe.
Don't believe the "I'm still hungry", that's only a state of mind. You can overcome that.

Absolutely. And I also agree that doing an exercise you can at least tolerate makes all the difference in the world. I worked with a well-educated trainer for a couple of years so my advice comes from experience with him as well as what I've experienced. It's truly a lifestyle change-cutting back on your food intake, paying attention to what you eat-and when you eat it-are very important. Don't skip meals-eat lightly if you aren't that hungry. When you don't eat your body goes into panic mode and starts hoarding fat. You don't have to cut out carbs completely to lose weight-cutting back is usually sufficient. I work my entire body-strength training (good to maintain bone mass), resistance training (helps with glucose management), core stability (balance) and cardio (heart health). Used to go to the gym 3 times/week but that stopped with COVID. Have home gym equipment on order-can't wait for it to come in-someday LOL! I just recently saw an orthopedic for a knee issue and he also recommended no running because it is too hard on the joints. My husband's former manager said that the hardest thing about working out is putting your sneakers on. You've done that and then some. Best of luck!
