Thanks everyone for the replies.. I agree, exercise is the key here in my ultimate goal to lose the weight. For me, it's a matter of motivation right now.. the more I put it off, the more tired I get, the more I don't feel like doing it... and so the cycle continues. Several months ago.. well more like a year ago, I was able to do an hour on the eliptycal (gazelle) (sp?) each day. Now I can barely do ten minutes! It's very discouraging. But I guess I need to start somewhere.. maybe I should try with something easier like a treadmill and then go back to the eliptycal/gazelle. It sucks that I'll probably have to be on these meds for the rest of my life, but hopefully I can manage my weight with them, in time. I guess I just need to be patient.. and push myself more to do the exercise, even when I'm tired and not feeling like it.

Anyone know the best type of exercise machines to start off with for those who are really out of shape? I'm thinking maybe a treadmill or an exercise bike?
