I'm sorry -- I KNOW exercise is the way to go (that's the only way I can lose weight - two miles with the dog every day, four miles with the dog every other day). I figured though that this lady had better start the process before she starts exercising, or she might blow out a knee.
Of course, she could always swim . . . when we're at the beach I swim laps with my dog (she's faster. But she's got four legs and webbed feet . . .)
I think I need a dog....
