Hi Kristaroo....

Try stretching and work your way into some lite exercise. Also make sure you are getting enought calories as well. I am sure you will drop that weight by May. Good luck!

My physician put me on a 1500 carb counting calorie counting weight reduction plan. I'm a new diabetic. I eat 4 times a day, I keep a food journal, I drink alot, try to do physical activity every day, meaning housework and yardwork. I haven't progressed to the exercise level yet but I'm close. Sounds like you are on the right track.

Hve you talked to your doctor about the right plan? Suffering from CMT and MD, you should lose the weight but you need to know how many calories that you need per day. I always recommend weight watchers but I am sure your doctor will steer you down the right path. Good Luck.

stretching is a good idea. One thing I found that helped after my accident was just walking.

I also got some Yoga for injuries and another for meditation. These had subtle easy moves for me to stretch my back mainly. It really helped.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
