Oh yeah, I know about that boat. I think the majority of my weight came after I shattered my right leg. Everyone said it would take 8 weeks to heal-- nope, it took about 4 years before I could walk without pain. It still swells up unless I wear elastic socks (which I recommend so you will avoid further vein problems). The skin on my leg also got horrible. I picked up some kind of infection while in the cast and my leg is now naturally red and permanently bruised. All I can say is cut down on the snacking and diet. I actually think that a whole lot of exercise is not needed. If you have a swimming pool in the area, that would be good low impact exercise. You can also do more abdominal crunches and upper body strength like shoulders and biceps. I believe I have read that any exercise is better than none, even if you can't bear a lot of weight, you can exercise the other parts of your body. As far as dieting, cutting out in-between meal food is important, also cutting out desserts and sweet drinks. I usually go for water only, except a few cups of coffee in the morning. Good luck, and I hope you meet your goals.
