    You can lose weight through diet alone, mind you. Exercise is great for health and fitness—which are definitely important. However you don't need to feel like you HAVE to do it to reach your goal weight.

    Has your doctor told you what sorts of exercises you can and can't do?

    As far as strength training, I've been getting a lot of exercises out of this book. It's incredibly detailed and has multiple exercises for each muscle group at different levels.

    I've been using resistance tubes, too—in fact, I started with them.

    As for cardio... that's a bit tougher. I found a link to exercise for a spinal cord injury. Not sure if that's your situation, but if there's anything you can use from it, here's the link: http://sci.washington.edu/info/forums/reports/exercise_2013.asp

    Friend me if you like!
