Every little bit : Helps ! are you able to swim or do water aerobics? Have you considered working your upper body with a trainer? Muscle burns more calories and thus can ^ your metabolic rate. It will be especially important to examine what you eat and how much you eat. Try keeping a food diary. Calories burned must exceed calories consumed to lose weight. Take good care.
