I concur with comments that mobility is lost in little increments. Can’t get up of the floor, can’t get out of low chairs, standing for extended time get painful, walking more than 30 min is uncomfortable, then 10 min, then 5, it’s the uncomfortable physical effort of doing stuff that has me increasing avoiding them. Even my car is to small for my increased size, so driving long distances is thought about these days. And just sitting or being in bed is far more comfortable and now spend more time there than say 2 years ago. If a get even fatter as planned I can only see myself tactically avoiding more activity and find my self less mobile to stay comfortable. Along with that I can finding that I can entertain myself with less, I don’t miss travelling or going out all the time. But if you just stopped you life style cold turkey like I think you find it very difficult.

This area is prone to get rash’s, bacteria and fungal issues. This can weaken and discolour skin. What other than anti fungal, bacteria creams do you bigger members do to improve skin health in those areas. Do any use moisture pads or sponges to improve air flow ect…?

I sometimes if I have time I do cheese pancakes, with butter golden syrup. With creamy scrambled eggs, and orange juice. Maybe some bacon if I feel like it. A big serve I estimate as 2500 calories or more.

Hi,

Alot of profile basically have no information, so are people not confident or hiding. Given the amount of potential for fraud and identity theft there days. I think we need an ability to prevent profiles looking at ours and content if they are not 100 complete and do not have a threshold of activity.

BWL.

When starting to avoid walking if I can.

Ai is a tool, I don't mind it's use in our community. As long as it's with respect and appropriate disclosure. As with any medium I guess.
