No Exercise

I have proudly lost 16 pounds so far, but I have a concern. For a while now, I have been physically unable to do any type of exercise due to an abdominal issue. I can barely even walk. The doctor said that the medication she has put me on takes a good 3-6 months to get into my system and start helping the pain. In the meantime, how will the lack of exercise effect the progress that I have made thus far? Will I be able to continue to lose?

    If you're eating a calorie deficit, you'll continue to lose weight even without exercising.

    It'll put all the emphasis on restricting food, so it depends on your self control really.
