That's great that you've lost 8 lbs and pescatarian is a healthy way to go! Exercise will definitely help because it speeds up your metabolism and also the beauty of exercise is that it helps increase your body's resting metabolism so you can be sitting in a chair still and be burning fat and calories! After a good exercise session your body's metabolism will stay up for a while, a few hours, so if you eat a large meal soon after you exercise your body will be like a furnace, so you can enjoy eating and not worry about it slowing your progress down!
I miss exercise and getting out and walking, my health issue with my belly problems have about done me in! I've improved quite a bit since taking protein powder, it's still slow but I'm feeling better and I'm able to do more around the house! I still can't eat normally everyday though!
