Kenny,

I would suggest passive weight training. You can do this at home, relatively inexpensively -- all you need are some hand weights/dumbbells, and either a book or video for instruction. The video I like best is "Building Strength" by Susan Powter. While I don't subscribe to her WOE (she believes fat = evil), her fitness videos were the first ones I ever saw that emphasized modifying the movements if you are very heavy. All the other fitness video's I'd used expected everyone, whether 100 lbs or 300 lbs, to have the same range of motion -- HA. When you build muscle, you increase your resting metabolism, which TA DA burns fat!!!

Unfortunately for me, the mice chewed up my copy of "Building Strength" (cats were off sleeping somewhere, I suppose!), so I've ordered another one. You can get them used off eBay for about US$4.00 - US$6.00.

Hope that foot heals soon!!
