This may not be the perfect answer, but it worked for me
Ive never believed in diets in the sense that a lot of diets consist of a reduction in calories. Then you get down to your ideal weight and then you carry on as you did before.
To me weight loss has always been about lifestyle changes.
Ive always eaten quite well, mainly because I work as a live in carer and I cook my clients good food and I tend to eat what they do. But what I noticed was that I didnt do any form of exercise, either conventional or unconventional.
So, I started running. Nothing major, just a walk round the block. I used my mobile phone as a walkman, bought some headphones, downloaded a free running app that tracked me using GPS and away I went.
OK, so I say running. more like a walk, but it was exercise. I used to do a daily circuit of about 2 miles and I used to complete it in roughly 20-30 minutes. Nothing spectacular but it was exercise. After about 2 months I noticed that Id lost about a stone in weight. That pushed me to continue. The weight loss slowed down (Since Im not exercising as much as Im not carrying as much weight, so the effort is reduced) but as I carried on the weight seemed to settle at about a point where I was more comfortable.
There are also lots of you tube videos on excercises you can do at home using orfinary household items such as stairs, or tins of food, or bottles of water.
Sorry, can you tell Im a tight wad when it comes to money
