Hello,
Thank you for your question and participation. First, I would recommend speaking with your physician or health care provider about a safe and fun exercise program that is sustainable for you.
Adding any type of exercise any time of the day can be helpful with weight management. Often individuals will ask me, what is the best exercise I can do? I often reply, the one you will actually do and enjoy doing. Find something you enjoy at a time that works into your life and your schedule. Perhaps adding your 8-month old grandson into your walking plan would be enjoyable you are able to walk with him in a stroller outdoors, at a local mall or walking track. Adding any movement will help you feel better, gain confidence and burn calories.

There are a variety of resources available, ranging from free weight loss information on mayoclinic.org, the Mayo Clinic Diet book, and the Mayo Clinic Diet online program.

The Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program also has a variety of comprehensive and focused experiences that can be customized to fit your goals, lifestyle, and health needs. The two that come to mind would be the Mayo Clinic Diet Experience or the Signature Experience. Here is a link: https://healthyliving.mayoclinic.org/offerings.php
