Hi I am here to find out what is going on with my body and how I can loss weight even with pain. Being that there is 100 pounds more here than needs to be, looking for a way to lose this while suffering through the pain of my lower back and hips and legs. The only way I can walk is leaning forward on a shopping cart for the stability. I have a lot of medications that I have to take and a good amount have side effects of weight gain and edema in the legs and feet.
I want to meet with others who are concerned about their weight, find out what others have tried, what has been successful and what has not. I feel like I get bigger everyday now, I just want to feel better and look better.

Hi! Welcome to 3fc!

I've tried weight watchers in the past with success and am going that route again. If it's possible for you, I've heard that using a pool for exercise is good to keep strain off of your joints and whatnot.

Good luck!

Nana, I agree with DivineDivina...I too am doing Weight Watchers and belong to the Y for the swimming pool. My knees starting bothering me a couple years ago and I knew I couldn't walk for exercise so I joined the club. I did not lose weight going there 3 to 4 times a week and doing water aerobics. I did not start losing until I began doing WW in July of this year. I knew this, if I didn't start doing something quickly I was going to go over 300 lbs. Best wishes on your journey!
