i'm on 12 meds a day and no matter what i do i can't loose weight

joe477External User
I know my meds are a big reason I gained weight and I broke my back so I can't exercise much. What do I do but restrict my diet and low impact cardio like walking, cause it's not working?

You might also ask your doctor if you can change some of your meds to ones that don't cause weight issues.

Also, ask about implementing light weight training, which can often be done while sitting.

Talk to your doctor about other types of exercise.  You might be able to implement some types of yoga into your routine... do make sure your doctor approves before trying this.
