Diet and exercise for age 61 does NOT add up to 36-26-36.... *sigh*

I ran into the problem that adding more exercise (to not just maintain, but lose weight) was tearing up my joints to where it was hard to rest without pain, so one hour a day of low-to-moderate impact is where I max out, which doesn't equate to weight loss. And without more exercise, I ran into the problem that I had to limit my diet to 800 calories a day just to maintain, not lose weight. The metformin seems to help some with limiting hunger, at least. And hopefully it is busy knocking out cancer cells as well.

How are you doing?
