Take medications which over the past year have caused me to gain 50lbs. I have some physical limtations which prevent from doing any strenuous high impact aerobic exercise. I walk every day for an hour, but the meds I take cause people to gain weight, and on top of that it makes you hungry all the time.

This is going to be tough. I'm going to join the Y. Hopefully I should at least be able to swim (I used to lift weights and stuff but I had back surgery so my weight lifting days are past).

This ain't gonna be pretty.:(

Good luck and stick with it!

Swimming is a great way to lose weight, as long as you push yourself. It's easy to get lazy in the water, so it might not be the best choice... but good luck anyway.

I'm tall so it doesn't look all that bad. Still, I don't want to have to buy new clothes again!

Thx for all the well wishers.
