    Gentle exercise such as swimming will be of benefit because at the moment her size will be putter extra pressure on her knees and will only make them worse. She should go and see her local nurse practitioner about weight loss because they have many resources available for free that a slimming class will make you pay for.

    As far as the drinking the nurse practitioner should be able to provide support as long as she is willing to go. Your mothers weight could be made worse by the excessive drinking as there are suprising number of calories in drinks these days. Have you thought of booking her into a health spa for a weekend to give her a boost?
