Ok, Acadia, I think you just talked me into actually using the DVD my sister sent me a couple of years ago. Pilates for the Decrepid, or something like that. ;) The diet is gonna be harder: I don't eat flesh, fish or fowl. Having dieted only twice in my life pre-back-injury, I'm lost. Think I'll just try throwing out the mayo and all snack-type foods. Maybe lots of apples instead? shrug
