I try to walk for 30 minutes every day, at lesst the days I’m off work. I train strenght at home twice a week, about 40 minutes each time. That keeps me pretty able. I wish I could do more, but the zyprexa makes it hard. ---

Exercise supports and enables one to diet by about 50%… it is ultimately diet which determines your weight, yes, but exercise what allows you to keep a diet so. its 50/50 ---
