Being obese is fucking depressing. However having a good diet, decent workout routine will get rid of the fat. But it takes time, I was very overweight in the last decade due to free drinks, meals and no exercise. I didn't need doctor's or a gym membership.
I worked out a diet plan and got cheap workout equipment to use at home stuff from TK Maxx and Argos. My BMI is in the middle so I still have a long way to go.
However I do feel and look better. I am more confident in myself. I have a bit of belly still but we all know belly fat is the hardest thing to lose but I am getting there.
It pisses me off when people moan and don't do anything. Resistance bands are about £3 and do wonders for the upper arms, Resistance tubes from TK Maxx are brilliant also I have bought and use different types of them. Argos sell cheap dumbells and do deliver.
Also my partner loves shopping so walking around with her 3 days a week does wonders.
The middle of your healthy range?  Unless you are exceptionally slender, that is probably about right, so I would concentrate on healthy eating and a brisk walk at this stage.
Well done you!

Yes you do!
It's all that swimming JK!
I had put a stone and a half on over 2020 lockdown, but have managed to shift nearly all of it over the last few months with walks up and down The Thames. Long (2 hrs or 90 mins) and fast (just over 4 mph). I listen to audio books while I walk.
I'm now back in the middle of healthy range for my height. I got the idea from reading an interview with Stephen Fry; who lost 5-6 stone this way. It is just as good for mental health as physical health - I hate gyms and they shut my swimming pool so really glad I stumbled on that idea!
Honey - I do know it can be very difficult, esp if you can't shift an illness. Hope you are feeling better soon.
