I don't so much have medical reasons for not being active - I just lack motivation 80% of the time.
There is a weakening in my left wrist which, when pressure is applied (press-ups and such), hurts quite a bit. I try to avoid those exercises when I do bring myself to work out, but compromise with other upper-body tasks.
There are phases for me where I either feel comfortable with my body/weight, or I simply don't. When I'm comfortable I lose all interest in hitting the gym and I go back to my chocolate-eating ways. The other end of the spectrum is a given - I eventually give myself the incentive to head back to the gym. I'm currently in a position where I'm heading back. :D 3 days a week minimum is my target, 1.20 hours a day, cut out all fatty foods and high-carb items as best as I can, and drink loads of water (I do the latter anyway, regardless of my physical state).
It's just degrading when you're walking about town or see pictures of people on the internet that are stunning, are fit and healthy, good body shapes etc. There's no miracle in the world (I'm willing to pay for) that can help me with my face, but possessing the knowledge I'm in control of my body is encouraging to some extent. A little annoying too, considering that I let myself get into such an unhappy state...
Metabolism's holding up still, which I'm seriously pleased about. Dread to think how big I'd be without it.
