Answer:
swim swim swim...it's the only way. the water supports your body and you can build up your pace. have a chat with your doctor. they should know of a course or class for those of us with weight issues or perhaps a private pool may have info. you are not alone with your problems and there is much help for you if you look for it. get your practise nurse earning her money and helping you. if you feel they are talking down to you..just say hey I'm here for your professional help not your personal opinion...less energy in more energy out is the only way but take it slow..you didn't get to 15st over night so it won't come off quick either. try losing 3lbs first forget the stones. a small change continued everyday is better than too big a change and giving up. Good luck and be kind to yourself. You are worthy of help and support..M
increase your daily activity level and eat less.
stick to the gym, after bout 2 weeks ur bones and muscles will get used to the added stress ur putting on them, other than that stop eating fatty foods and maybe go on a diet, u cant just expect it to happen itself u gotta do somethin about it.
just walk more
good luck
The reason you ache after you go to the gym is because you are not cooling down properly by doing stretches for at least 10 mins. Try it again. But exercise is only part of the equation. You also need to cut down on food and eat less than 2000 cals per day.
Slowly try and increase the amount of walking you do and get a pedometer as its nice to see your success measured. Go for it and good luck.
there's 50 million different ways to lose weight, but the only ones that work are a well balanced diet, proper exercise and 8 hours of sleep every day, and drink plenty of water. Ask your doctor what type of exercise you can do, and have him put you on a diet. Once you get in the groove you will feel better about yourself and happier...good luck to you

Eat healthy and do some exercises in your living room. Or rent a pilaties DVD or Video?
you can walk for an hour everyday, what they call leisure walks and try the Atkins diet.
Good Luck
Join a sports group that meets weekly, doing something you enjoy.
Cycling, swimming, hiking, squash, tennis, badminton etc. etc.
You'll enjoy it, make friends, lose weight and get fit and healthy.
Local activities centre will have details.Gyms are a waste of time and money, and a scam. Unless you are doing a specific training to improve a specific area of your SPORTING life.
Treadmills and Bikes ..please! You get that stuff for free and it's fun by going OUTSIDE.(and I don't want any sad losers telling me about 'structure' and 'group support', and if you mention the convenience of buying 'power-shakes' and 'vitamin supplements' you better be untraceable).
wether you like it or not,if you want to loose weight you have got to exercise. of cos your body is in bits cos its not used to it and when you dont warm up and cool down properly before n after training then it gets even worse, id stick to the gym and ask an instructor for help and advice and you will soon realize its getting better. if you just eat less then you might loose a bit of weight but its more likely muscle tissue than fat
Walking is the best.
In the Middle Ages and late Renaissance the noble females were not going to gym, but rather were having a walk. All the preserved parks next to the castles prove the story. An hour of walk per day, at least 5 times a week!This is the best one can afford. Good luck! And enjoy your walks...
I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me. Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Always Think Fit:First step in exercise is to always Think FIT. To make physical improvements, you need to work your body harder than usual. This is referred to as the overload principle. As your body becomes more conditioned, you need to increase the frequency, intensity, or time of your workouts in order to continue improving your fitness levelChoosing an Exercise:
The best exercise is an activity that you enjoy enough to really pursue enthusiastically.
鈥ndoor (Facility) Activities: If the treadmill, stairmaster, rowing machine or stationery cycle doesn't excite you, sample some group activities that strike your fancy. Participate in a group cycling class, beat stress with yoga, find balance with martial arts, stay cool with indoor swimming, or kick some you-know-what with boxaerobics.1. Change your eating habits (i.e. start eating smaller portions of food) before if you ate a full plate of food try eating 2/3 of a plate instead.
2.
o Substitute aspartame for sugar
o Try eating 3 or 4 smaller meals during the day rather than 2 large ones
o Eat your main large meal at midday with the other meals much smaller in content
o Don't eat heavy meals late in the evening as the body wont have time to digest it so it ends up stored as fat in your body.
o Balance your meals out during the day so in one day you have a mix of protein, carbohydrate and vitamins
o Drink lots of water during the day and before, during and after exercise, you should drink at least 8 big glasses of water per 24 hours
o Drink alcohol in moderation
o Stop smoking if you smoke or cut down
o Eat more fibre i.e. pulses grains nuts, pasta, brown rice, cereals, fresh fruit
o Eat more vegetables as part of your diet
o Eat less dairy products or choose those with less fat content i.e. cottage cheese
o Try steaming or poaching food instead of frying it, frying adds calories by the bucketful
o Cut down on Red meat and eat more lean or better still chicken and fish instead
o Use low fat oils in cooking i.e. sunflower, corn or Mazola
o Cut down on your salt intake, there are hidden salts even in tinned foods
o Try substituting carrots or fresh fruit instead of biscuits and sweetmeat when you have a craving for something in between meals.
o Drink semi or skimmed milk as opposed to full cream
Simply choose a diet which is low in fat and cholesterol, moderate in sugar and salt and high in fibre but at the same time has a variety of everything thus making it a balanced diet.Calculate your BMR!!
BMR means Basal Metabolic Rate.It is used to estimate how many calories you should consume.By using a simple formula called the Harris-Benedict principle, you can assess your BMR.
Your BMR is the amount of energy your body needs to function.Then, to lose weight, you'll need to cut calories or burn extra calories and shoot for a level lower than the results you get with this formula.
We use about 60 percent of the calories we consume each day for basic bodily functions such as breathing.Other factors that influence your BMR are height, weight, age and sex.
Step One : Calculate your BMR with the following formula:
鈥omen: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
鈥en: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step two : In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
鈥f you are sedentary : BMR x 1.2
鈥f you are lightly active: BMR x 1.375
鈥f you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 1.55
鈥f you are very active (You exercise daily.): BMR x 1.725
鈥f you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 1.9
Create a Calorie Deficit:
In order to lose weight, you must create a calorie deficit. It is easier and healthier to cut back your calorie intake a little bit at a time.
Every 3,500 calories is equivalent to 1 pound.
If you cut back 500 calories a day, you will lose 1 pound per week.
If you exercise to burn off 500 calories a day you will also lose 1 pound per week.
Ideally, you should do a combination of both, (e.g. cut back 250 calories; burn an extra 250 calories).

Nope, or at least not in a sustained way. 2/3 of people who diet without exercises will be heavier in the medium term than when they started to diet!
