Weight loss: Please see your doctor or a nutritionist about the safest way to loose weight. Ask the professional about the ketogenic diet--low carb and higher protein. Lifestyle changes need to accompany this. A personal trainer at a gym can provide the best exercise plan for your situation. You can do it.
