  • I didn't like the way I looked and tried getting back in shape while still being able to eat what I want and not do anything. It wasn't working - surprisingly!

  • After a gastrointestinal bypass last August and a take down in December, I have developed an incisional hernia in my abdomen...so I can only walk, swim or do modified yoga...which I have been doing. I walk at least an hour each day (4 miles) and I swim for an hour 2xs a week. I do an hour of yoga twice a week.

  • Try and work your exercise while lying down....perhaps some leg stretches with a ankle weight. Keep the exercises low impact if you are really sick. I did my exercises last week with a broken toe. I had to work all the exercises around the toe to give it time to heal. It affected my weight loss but I figured I could catch…
