My doctor told me to walk

Wish I could tell you what to do Patricia. I also have been on a weight gain. My ablation was October 2023 and I weighed 151 pounds. I am up to 163 pounds now and having to buy new clothes. My heart rate at rest is 52 BPM before the ablation and about the same now. So I realize that slower heart rate isn't great fr burning calories, but what else has changed (age???)

The only way that I have been able to lose and keep weight off is watching my caloric intake and get enough exercise.

I had to get on a well known Frozen food diet. I followed it so tightly that I have lost overall a total of 65 lb. Now for the last 5 months I am stable. I haven't dropped another ounce! But I still need to lose another 30.
