@sdbonniea123 My cancer was dealt with 18 months ago and then renal disease popped up. What a surprise. But I went on the renal no sugar, no salt diet and lost 20 pounds in 3 months. I had tried to lose ten pound for years! It wasn't easy at first. It mean cooking more than I"d like and making salads with veggies like chick peas. but I'm really happy with this and my renal numbers are good too right now. My husband and friends have all commented on how good I look. The stomach is another thing, tho. Those little paunches as we age. I might try the Pilates, which was just mentioned. I do walk, ride my bike or work out indoors (especially in this heat. Walking is out.) But Pilates, I've heard, is great for stomachs.
