    Hello all- I am most certainly disabled, but it is an "invisible disability" and I don't use walking aids. I gained about 90 lbs since I became unable to dance/jog/workout. I'm on the right track now for just over a month with MFP'S help.

    Tracking/ watcging my calories has been easy, but it has been difficult as many have mentioned to find and log exercises that I am able to do.

    I'm thankful that I can walk most of the time, but also thankful for a thread that would understand that I just can't "go for a run" without severe consequences.

    I wish someone could come up with some fun challenges for those of us with varying levels of abilities

    It took me 2 hours to find this thread. I needed a thread with people that are disabled in varying degrees like here. I have a a chronic, degenerative auto immune, plus other fun things. I can be in a wheelchair one day and walking around the next week looking like everyone else. I was 100+lbs overweight when I started losing, and still have about 100 to go. Dr is working with me, so that helps. The weight has made the dependence on devices more frequent. I know that the motorized chair is an eventual definite thing, but I want to put it off as long as possible.

    Is this the only page of people like us? Is there a group (with link, please) for more posts like this? Thanks for opening up on here to let others like me know they are not alone.

    My apologies for the delayed response again....

    I used to be a member of a group on here, but it just disappeared :(

    I have set one up for now, as it would be of great interest to me. We can always try and see....
