in Health and Weight Loss
I've been given strict orders by my doctor to participate in no excerise that will even remotely increase my heart rate, I'm not even suppose to climb any stairs and sex is currently out of the question completely. Even though I have now surpassed my weight loss goals, I am still at the higher end of a healthy BMI and would prefer to be in the middle range of my BMI, which is only another 8 - 13 lbs. I have another 10 weeks of no excerise (but luckily can resume VERY modified excercise, such as grocery shopping/light cleaning/etc 2 weeks from now), and would like to loose those 8-10 lbs within this time frame (I am in no rush).

So my question is, who else was able to loose the weight WITHOUT excercising in anyway in this time frame and how many calories where you eating to loose it? All my doctor has said was what I am doing now is working (consuming 1300 cal. and not eating back excercise calories) but must now eliminate all excercise at this time.

    Calorie deficit will lead to weight loss. ~500 calorie a day deficit should get you the results you want without exercise.

    ^ Agree with the above. A calorie deficit should work without exercise.

    I lost all the weight I wanted to lose with very little exercise. All that matters is that there is a deficit. I think i even had an advantage; I was more motivated to suceed because I was limited:). Good luck!
