[CoasterGirl]

This is a reply to a PM I received from Sweetcakes736: Sorry, I cannot reply privately as I am new and don't have enough posts under my belt!



Hi Sweetcakes736 and thanks for the welcome!

I really do believe this site is going to help me with regard to motivation - which I've had a hard time sustaining since early October (when I finally decided to do something about my weight - again!).

I am sorry to tell you tho' that I am unable to contribute to the exercise goals as I have an ongoing problem with my arms and hands (can't swim, ride bike, etc) and I am unable to walk or use my right leg much due to a broken knee that did not heal correctly and that I am currently awaiting further surgery on.

I guess my medical problems are the crutch I've been using as an excuse to delay losing weight. The difference right now is I've decided to start dieting without exercise and hopefully that will change as time passes and my leg is fixed and my arm problems change.

Either way, no more excuses and I'm looking forward to meeting new people and reclaiming control of my life!

Thanks again,
Lisa
