Losing weight no cardio

I was just diagnosed with a heart condition that can cause serious implications if I get my heart rate up too high. I am gaining rate rapidly because I can no longer do my normal activities. Do you have any suggestions on some easy ways to help lose weight besides watching what I eat? Maybe simple ways to tone up. This is just a temporary solution until my meds/procedures are taken care of in the following couple of months.

    Do some searches on the Internet like: heart condition how to exercise, or exercises for heart condition. That should give you some ideas, which I doubt MFP will be able to do.

    What about something calming like Yoga or Thai chi?

    You won't be able to outwork your eating. Especially with low heart rate exercise. You have to watch what you eat. On the plus side, I know a cool app made to do just that.
