TY, I have a work out routine that I utilize, I'm just waiting to hit my goal weight and then start working out again.
6 years ago I was coming off an injury and ballooned up to 280. I started doing p90x, walking 2 hours a day and eating 1900 kc of strict keto. I was constantly hungry and couldn't stop thinking about food.
I hit 200 pounds in 4 months.
Covid hit and the workouts slowed, my father died at the end of 2020 and I just didn't care anymore, I went back to my old ways that got me overweight in the first place.
I took last year to process and work through what I had to. In January this year I decided it was time to stop having the pity party for myself and try longer fasts as an experiment. I had done a couple with the keto, longest being 3 days.
Below is a comparison of CICO/Excercise vs fasting weight loss. CICO on the left
The weight loss is almost identical, Here is the thing I find interesting. During my keto loss I was consuming 12,600 calories over a week, on the fast I am consuming over 16,000 calories in two days, not working out and still losing weight at the same pace.
It's part of the reason I haven't started yet, I actually find the fasting much easier. I will end up omad or a couple ADF when I start hitting my maintenance phase.
I am going to start a small routine in the next week, thinking for right now 2 days of yoga and 2 days of walking for an hour, as soon as I hit my goal then I will start lifting weights again.
You did an amazing job! I would suggest you try to do some HIIT or Cardio workout to tune your body.

I would suggest you try at least to do workout few days a week, just some medium activity to ensure your body get tune as you lose weight.
