Exercise and diet

Is there a thread that talks about exercise and nutrition? I was told by my dr that I need to lose weight...I am 100 lbs overweight and know that I need to do this. I bought a nutribullet and going to try to go on a low carb diet. Just wondering if there is a thread here
Take care and thanks

The moderators have created a special thread for diet discussions. I bumped it up to the first page for you.

I might be able to help you. I lost 85 pounds around 8 years ago and have kept it off too. I counted carbs and it was very easy and I was/am never hungry either. Since this is totally off topic, you can email me if you would like me to send you some information as to what I did, what I ate, etc. Just click on the envelope under my name at the left of this post and that sets you up to email me.

Exercise is on topic since it's very good for Fibro. I walk daily and, in the summer, I swim since I have a pool. I take my dog with me when I walk and just enjoy the beauty around me. I walk at least a half an hour a day.When I started out, I could only walk four houses down and had to turn back but I didn't give up. Each day I could go a little further and now I can walk with ease. Walking helps with pain and fatigue of Fibro plus burns calories.

Other gentle exercises are swimming and yoga. Whatever you decide, make sure it's a gentle exercise.

Hope this helps you. You will feel a lot better when you get the weight off. Take it from one who knows!
