I've been dealing with multiple health issues - cancer, high blood pressure, ruptured discs in my neck & spine and have gained a lot of weight and can't lose it. Exercising is very difficult and like you, I have no idea how I'm going to manage it.

Rickytrnr - welcome!

You’re right - some people can’t lose weight because they don’t eat enough. I know when I was on a doctor controlled course, I couldn’t eat everything they said I should be eating. It was just way too much food. I guess your body goes into starvation mode and won’t let itself lose weight.

True, I lost 60 pounds in 2006 before my diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis. I was obese so the weight loss was actually a good thing.
