2 lbs a week is a good goal. I am disabled and can't walk much further than
the mailbox and can't taske exercise that involves weight bearing (on my
feet). If you have any access to facility/area where you can swim - that is
good exercise. Also a stationary bike - there are some that are just the
pedals sitting on the floor - you in a chair.

I can't take diet soda (bad side effects from the artificial additives) and
use seltzer with a bit of added juice for flavor. Mainly because I like the
carbonation.

Due to other problems, I was under treatment at a Physical Therapy clinic
for quite awhile. They showed me many exercises that don't involve
machinery or weight bearing. Just getting the blood flow going and pushing
your limits will help with metabolism - just don't overdo the food after the
workouts.

If you have access and funds - Weight Watchers worked the best for me. But
that was just me.
