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

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.

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.
