If you are interested in a different type of solution, I recommend checking out Zerona. It is the first non-invasive body contouring procedure to effectively remove excess fat. I have heard great reviews. It is definitely an option for someone willing to spend some money, but you will get great results in return :) I am very seriously considering it. There is tons of information on the website, so I encourage you to check it out if you are at all interested!
Hope that helps!

I agree with Susan, and if you are terribly worried about the pollution, you can walk on a treadmill at a gym. Gyms are great places to meet other people, work with a personal trainer, or just listen to some music/watch TV while you are on the treadmill. Better yet...bring a walking buddy with you, and you can both do your own intensity side-by-side.

I went to a Registered Dietition but had no change in my weight! I think it might be because of my drugs and ofcourse no exercises and my eager to eat.... I can't swiming because of radiotherpy although I feel so tiredness of that and feel no energy to do that, and not yuga and other exercises like that becuse I have sever inflammation in my elbow ( tennis elbow!! ) I shoud go to walking but we have a polluted air in our city...and ashamed to tell that I smoke a lot...I'll be so grateful to have some suggestion from everybody.

A visit to the R.D. would not cause a weight reduction, if you are not exercising, are "eager to eat" (as you describe), continue to smoke "a lot".
You are doing the right thing by information-seeking, but it does sound like you know how to lose weight, as you provide many reasons why you are not able to exercise, are not able to find the energy to exercise (some is from your treatments; most of your energy would be depleted through smoking), and you may be consuming more calories than you need through your "eagerness".
Losing weight is really about making choices, and there is no magic equation to losing weight...it is just expending more calories than you consume. Meaning: eating less calories or exercising more to burn calories.
An R.D. can help you find a healthy eating plan, including:
- healthy food options
- a plan that incorporates your favorite foods in moderation
- portion-controlled sizes of meals and foods
- cooking healthy meals with little time or energy
- healthy snacking
- learning how many calories you should eat
Can you go back to the R.D., and get this type of information? I would assume you already did receive this information, and if so, please let us know what you DID learn, what specific individualized-information was given to you...and we can help you incorporate this information into your lifestyle.
Also...you have told us all the exercises you can not do, or the reasons you can not do them, but exercising will help you decrease weight (along with healthy eating), provide more energy...it could even help stop some nicotine cravings.
So....what exercises CAN you do?

Hi,
I'm happy to hear that you are being treated, and am so sorry that you are going through all of this!
If you are currently under treatment of doctors for cancer and depression, you need to speak with your doctors about being referred to a Registered Dietitian (R.D.) who specializes in working with women who want to lose or maintain a healthy weight, while undergoing medical treatments.
