Welcome to the forum

Start slow if you are having pain! Any movement is better than no movement!

Hi and welcome!

If you have access to an indoor pool, swimming is one of the best low-impact exercises you can do - because it's cardio and resistance training all in one and is very easy on the joints.

To get involved on the forum - just dive in. I'm still new myself, but it seems like the more threads you visit and comment on, the more feedback you can give and get and the more enmeshed you get in the group. So far this is a great group of gals!

My high weight was 383 in May, but today I'm at 339 - so I'm right there with you!

Hi and welcome to the board. This is a great place to find support. Good luck on your journey. I have a recumbent bike which I love---it is the kind of exercise that does not overtax my joints and feet.

Welcome welcome! You can totally do this, we all can!

I'm jealous, I want a Wii... Or an xbox 360...playing Dead Rising is mighty tempting, but no...a Wii for exercise and wonderful things is better...or zombies..maybe if I could Wii fit with zombies...yeah!
