EDIT

Can I use the backward/Reversed purl stitch method to create standard knitting patterns, such as stockinette stitch and rib stitch, successfully without having to learn conventional purling?

I'm a left-handed knitter with a disability that makes standard purling difficult, and I'm looking for an alternative that will allow me to create these patterns correctly.

I've watched countless YouTube videos and of course I can test this out by practicing however because I'm such a beginner everything looks incorrect so I simply frog.

The funny thing is I've knitted a scarf with the garter stitch and that's 400 rows and yet I cannot do the purl stitch correctly.

I have mild CP (hemiparesis) that affects my right side. I was advised in my 30s to wear an AFO, but I’ve never really used one because I struggled to find shoes that worked with it. My gait is not too bad but my ankle does roll over and sometimes I don't even know until days later.

Last year I started walking for my health. My ankle does get inflammed or injured but it has reduced. I keep going on the days I can, and it’s helped me lose weight and become healthier.

Now I’m thinking about trying the Couch to 5K programme. Has anyone here run with CP, with or without an AFO? I’m nervous because I don’t want to keep injuring my right ankle, but I’d really like to try running.

Do you think running is something that I can do with Mild CP?

Been doing IF for over a year, lost about 8.6 kg, mostly 16:8 with the odd 20‑hour fast. I walk anywhere from 3k–10k steps. ( I even added progress pics in this sub)

Since March I’ve been stuck at 64.5–65.5 kg. I want to lose another 9–18 kg, but even my slow goal (1-2kg/month) has stopped.

I haven’t changed much, some days I eat an egg and toast lunch with yogurt and fruit along with a ready meal which has the portions labeled 600-900 dinners.

Never counted calories before and still lost weight, so I’m not sure what to adjust now. Do I tighten my eating window, try OMAD, or start tracking?

Also I have health conditions which means I injure my ankle often this prevents me from gyms or heavy workouts, even walking causes issues but it's better than no movement. So I can't aid the calorie deficit as quickly as others who can exercise more.

Any advice is appreciated!

I have had my Fitbit watch for a year without being familiar with it's feature. However I realised I'd never walked 30 days straight, so at day 27 I found out what a Streak meant! First time for everything. Hoping to walk over 25 days for the next few months 🤞🏾
