If I exercise, I want it to be fun, not something I hate or dread. Because of that, I do Zumba at the Y a few times a week. It's so much fun, I get a great workout, and have met some great friends that way as well. I think dietary needs and what works for people can vary so much. For me, what seems to help somewhat is watching my carbs, limiting gluten and dairy, along with intermittent fasting. My body, however, doesn't seem to respond to these kinds of changes immediately the way other people's do, but long term, it seems to be a good combo for me. It's just really slow going with the weight loss. If nothing else, at least I am maintaining my weight loss for the most part, which I count as a success.
