    Definitely move as much as you can without injuring yourself it is good for health and fitness. Even a short walk a couple of times a day and doing some seated exercises with hand weights will be of benefit (check out you tube).

    You may like aqua fit if it is available at a pool near you. Very low impact so you get a good workout without stressing your joints.

    For weight loss it is all about how much you eat.
    Put your stats in to MFP to lose 1 lbs a week ( unless you have under 20 lbs to lose).
    Buy a food scale and weigh everything, even prepackaged goods.
    Use the packaging or the USDA site to confirm you are choosing the correct entry.

    Work towards a diet that fulfills your nutritional needs.

    Do this consistently and over time you will lose weight.

    Keep in mind that sometimes weight fluctuates up for reasons other than fat. The main cause Is water retention caused by TOM, ovulation, excess salt in a meal, travel, heat, and new or increased exercise.

    Cheers, h.
