Losing weight after a heart condition

I was diagnosed with heart failure after the birth of my second child. It was pregnancy induced and by the time my son was born an I was diagnosed, I had had a difficult pregnancy with 18 weeks bed rest and had put on half my pre-pregnancy weight.
I had to be careful not to stress my heart so vigourous exercise was out of the question and besides I felt exhausted all the time
20 months on and I was given more or less the all clear - luckily. But I was gettingquute depressed due to the excess weight I simply couldn't shift. So I joined myfitnesspal (actually I became a member in 2009), gave my body a kickstart with a 9 day cleanse and now the weight is slowly but surely dropping off and I feel fitter and fitter every day!
