thanks vinesqueen for your advice on the water aerobics, I was initially doing water exercises right after surgery but the insurance will no longer authorize, and I do not have a gym that provides a indoor pool. I will just have to wait for the summer for that exercise. But I will try to walk at least two to three times a week to see if it helps.
as far as the weight loss, it seems frustrating because I have not lost anything in the past month. maybe because of the holidays, hopefully this month will be better..Although it seems that most people loose a lot more in 4 months that I have.
thanks, lady737
