Struggling with Weight Loss Due to Chronic Pain

Does anyone have advice or ideas for trying to get to a healthier weight? with chronic pain its a challenge, and every time I try to start more movement I get hurt slowing me down even more. I'm not trying to be a super model but at least getting down to obese instead of morbidly obese would be good. Welcome advice and ideas. Thank you.

Sometimes you just have to move something. Anything. Sitting down? Do 100 arm circles. Lift your legs as if you are taking a step (walking while sitting). Simply stretching can help. There are a ton of things I would do to make sure I was always moving something. It seems so stupid but every action counts and gets you closer to your goal.

Doing IF since February and down 85 lbs. Can't lie things have slowed down for me a bit but STILL losing. It's pretty easy to follow and I eat whatever I want during my open window. Ever since I started....if I want takeout I get takeout. If I want dessert I will have dessert. I don't do take out all the time but it's nice to not have a list of foods you can't eat.

Ask your Dr. About intermittent fasting. It helps with a1c, portion control. Check with doc 1st though.

I was thinking about that. I only ate between noon and 8 today.
