Plantar fasciitis: First see your podiatrist for treatment of the fasciitis . While you are resolving that problem , doing upper body exercises , stationary bike , and repetitive leg exercises will help with weight reduction.

Anything...: You can tolerate. Try a lot of excercise forms that don't require a lot of weightbearing. Use supportive insoles (like spenco total support) and otc nsaid's like aleve (naproxen).
