start with your eating. you say you can not get out of the house so you must have someone who does your shopping. Only allow healthy food inside your home. No pop or sugar stuff. Going to 1200 calories at your weight would not be enough calories. talk to the doctor to see how much calories you should be taking in and keep track and the weight should start to come off. Once the weight start coming off than start walking. If you can just walk around your home each day for so many minutes. I have seen where people can not get out of bed and had a small punching bag above the bed and they would exercise using that. If you are sitting do leg marches or punches using your arms. Use a soup can and do arm lifts. Talk to the doctor first even over the phone and ask them if it would be OK to do these exercise and if the answer is yes than go for it.

There is a lot of things you can do at your desk and I know there are many good sites on the net to give you some ideas. One idea is a ball under your feet and do some calf raises. Use your desk or wall and do some push ups. Squats is another thing you can do when you have a few minutes stand up and start doing some squats. On a break do the stairs or go to the stairs and use one stair and do steps up on it as fast as you can for a minute. you be surprise at the work out you get doing that. I do that one all the time waiting for the bus. Use the curb.

Have to check on that too. I also saw some equipments that you can put under your table for some activity and exercise. What you think of those?
I agree very much to you, redmarx08. I think the office will allow it but still, have to ask permission.

There are some great videos on YouTube for desk stretching, and yoga you can do while sitting in a desk.
Set an alarm on your calendar or your phone to remind yourself to get up and stretch every hour or so. Some smar****ches and fitness bands can also be programmed to notify you if you've been sitting too long!

Your best option is to commute so that you can have some time to walk and take the stairs. Workout within office hours depends on how lenient is the management of your office when it comes to this kind of activity.
Hello Gwen M.
Thanks for your reply. The best option for me right now is to buy maybe a stability ball since I still need permission if I want to change my office table. And yeah, I walk as much as possible and skip elevators every now and then. I am also searching for any new technology maybe that I could use. I've seen a lot on TV but I still have to do some research about those products.
It would be unsafe to start an exercise plan with your health concerns before talking to a doctor.
That said, you can totally work on diet modification. Measure and track every single thing you consume and start making adjustments. Weight loss is at least 80% diet, so that's where it makes most sense to focus your efforts.

When I started journaling that really helped me. I saw a pattern of my stressors and went out and got a punching bag and it did wonders for my stress
