How successful were you in loosing weight question?

Join a good gym, and make weight lifting part of your routine. Don't start out doing too much. Twice a week on a Circuit of machines. Mix in walking for 30 minutes a couple days per week. The weight lifting increases your matabolism which will help you burn more calories even when you're just sitting around. Make a couple small diet changes in the right direction.
I do a lot of walking around my hood, right now anyway, so that's in my routine right now.
Aired up the tires in my bicycle, so I'll be riding that thing around all over again.
Due to a bad back, there is no way that i can do anything weigh lifting wise, or sit ups, push ups, for an exercise routine.
That's completely out of the equation here.
The dietitian talked to me lots in what to eat, yes smaller portions, and another big deal is SODIUM intake, to cut way back on, in my instance.
