If you were exercising long enough to make progress then it may be easier for you to start again.
I too took carb craving meds that caused weight gain and have been back pain free for a month so I'm trying to get back on the exercise horse and convince myself that even 30 minute mini walks at 3 mph will burn calories (with a sensible diet) and help with muscle atrophy.

I like the idea of mini walks. They don't sound bad at all and if our Alberta friend can walk her dog in the cold and darkness maybe I can put a sweater on my little dog and take him for a mini walk. I think my mini walk will start out just being about 10 minutes and then see where it goes from there. I love swimming but my schedules been totally messed up and I'm not doing much of anything to move more.
