It's not a "fat loss" program. So should I look into a full body routine with cardio. Or a split. How often and how much cardio should there be since it's for fat loss and I'm hypo or does that not matter since i'm well controlled on meds. These are the questions I have. Just not sure what is best for someone like myself.
Thank you.

I'm doing OPT for Fatloss now from Leigh's e-books (do you have them yet?). There is also Metaburn. Both of these are 12 week programs with rest weeks, specific calories, and both are programs you can do at home with a few dumbbells or at the gym. You can buy the dumbbells on Craig's list or get them free at your local freecycle.org
Right now I'm using a pair of 5lbs, a pair of 10lbs, and 1 20lb weight. I own a pair of 15's and a pair of 20's and I got from freecycle a pair of 25lbs that were part of a plate and bar set.
Oh, I also bought a swiss ball on amazon.com (and a foam roller when I did REPAIR which I like). I consider these all long term investments and I use them every week. It does not take much space in my home.
I just re-read your post. I think you can still lose weight even without buying weights (as you gather them for free from freecycle.org)... just walk more. It is possible that you at 213 are now not moving around during the day as much as you are eating. Watching tv and computer burn the same as sleeping. What types of activities and how much do you do during the days? housework, gardening, walking, tidying or cleaning the house, what? and how many hours are you on your feet during the day?
