Yes,
I've always been in great shape. My hip was so bad that if I walked just 1/2 mile, it would start hurting. I just had hip surgery and will start walking next week. I was going to do bariatric surgery but with chronic bronchitis it's not recommended. Anyways, I'm sure I can lose the weight. I will start swimming too I have to start slowly because I've noticed that when I excerpt myself, I get out of breath, so, I have to build up to it.

Ah, ha! The mystery becomes apparent to your gaining weight! I think that my sister is the only person who lost weight when she couldn't move much. I might be having some knee surgery so I'll have to keep this in mind.

I'm also sure that you can lose the weight when you start to move more! I wish you the best.
