I'm New to All This

Hi, I've been housebound for the past 9+ years due to a stroke at age 36. Consequently my relative inactivity has led to a weight gain of about 80 or so pounds. Weight loss anyway for stoke survivors is difficult, to say the least. Over the years I've tried this and that and haven't been able to lose an ounce. I don't "qaulify" for WLS because my BMI isn't quite there, and I really don't want to gain anymore to qualify! I've tried diet after diet; pill after pill, and exercise. Nothing!!!! If anyone out there has any ideas, I'm "all ears." Thanks, Susan
