I went to see the Dr yesterday - he said I shouldn't stop doing anything - even bootcamp and weight-training! Although, he did say not to overdo it, but as long I wasn't pushing myself to the point of exhaustion or feeling light-headed etc, then it was fine. With weight-training, there are some exercises which are no-no's, e.g. weight-bearing squats. Otherwise, the basic message was 'don't stint on anything, especially not exercise or food'
However, I guess it does depend on the person, so it's probably best to get advice from the Dr. I'm not hugely overweight (only wanted to lose another 3-4kgs), but having lost 13kgs last year (I did Weight Watchers too, bieleemorris), I really appreciate the value of exercise, and after all it is a great stress buster!
Now I'm beginning to sound like a total fitness freak, which is SOOO not me, so I'd better stop here...
