Experiencing a speed bump

I have been through this before so I recognize it and know what to do.  The numbers on the scale have been steadily going down. It's now stopped and I know what the next step is.  MOVE  Like most older life long obese persons I am now having back issues and knee issues. Not bad, but enough to make me say I will exercise tomorrow.  Well, its tomorrow.  Although I use to be a gym rat I really don't want to go that route for now.

Plan A, tackle cardio first and then add resistance.  I am going to try walking and if that does not work get some air in my bike tires.  I also bought an exercise ball.  If you have never used one it's a great workout and also therapy for your back.

Plan B, if I can't do plan A due to my knee and back issues I will find a pool somewhere.

Wish me luck

Best of luck, start slow so you don't hurt yourself.

Best of luck!

I used to love swimming in my initial weight loss phase and recently thought about finding a pool again. I thought, oh, I'll wait until I'm down a few pounds. Then I realized how stupid that is when I never minded swimming at 285 lbs. Sometimes my head gets in my own way.

While that sounds funny, I so relate!  Congratulations on your weight loss
