I strongly encourage all of you to read and re-read all Margie and Barb have posted.

Margie is very passionate in her response because she has cited facts that are true in the Literature.

From personal experience I have maintained the same degree of exercise, some days just the thought makes me want to sit down and rest. But if you start now .....slowly... you will be so jazzed with your success. My body at this weight looks 10 to 15 pounds thinner than I am because of my exercise.

Pick up any magazine that has weight loss challenges or follows people who have lost weight. There is not one success story that is DIET alone.

Start with something easy...walking farther than you normally would. Parking farther away from a store, restaurant, theater. If you golf and ride in a cart.. then walk a few holes.

As Barb said..... "let it go until we reach p4" seems a bit like "I'll start my diet tomorrow" philosophy. Hasn't that been our Philosophy

Frankly I am quite surprise there is any Doctor that would say "Wait until you lose your weight to start exercising." We all intellectually know better than that. Possible what the Physician is trying to say is "Take it easy" if you never have done any exercise. But please do something.
