I don't know what to say about your lack of luck eating less and losing weight other than what a Physician / Nutritionist told me: "Be honest with yourself as to how much you are eating." I used to think that I was not eating that much. I started cutting back by reducing my portions at supper by half. After a few hours I was hungry. After a few days I was losing weight.
As for exercising options I would suggest standing or sitting, and lifting 1 to 2 pound weights over your head, holding them out in front of you, etc. If you can't afford to buy some weights, use a couple of one pound cans (canned vegetables, etc.). If they are too heavy, try the half-pound sizes. BUT first discuss the dietary and the exercise suggestions with your doctor.
As for dLife, I was featured in their Newsletter many months ago. My column can be viewed at http://www.dlife.com/dLife/do/ShowContent/daily_living/Viewpoints/grubb_bio.html
Don't let my beardless face scare you!
Take care,

Senior type 2. need more exercise and can't do more due to the cold weather in Montreal Quebec Canada so no walking in the winter and sometime no driving due to black ice or a lot of snow. I have had no luck with eating less and losing weight. I am on oral meds. Personally I hate exercise and I did some all my working life. Also have a colonoscopy so find I can not get out early in the morning and most of the exercise classes are to early for me. So any ideas. These are reasons not excuses (LOL). Of course if I got up at six a.m. I could probably get out of my house by 9a.m. Any ideas
Thank you
Regards
PS I also get mail from dlife and don't remember your name.
