Hi, my name is Jen. I'm a special education teacher in Florida. I need active friends that will help hold be accountable. I need/want to lose at least 100 pounds. I have some limitations, I'm partially disabled. My current goal is to go for at least 1-2 intentional miles at least twice per week and work my way up.

Hi Jen, Welcome to MFP🌷. I have only been here since May. I too need to lose over 100 pounds. Since joining I am more active but don’t have a set exercise routine. I am disabled, have type 2 diabetes, arthritis, hypothyroidism and sleep apnea. I have a new Dr for managing my diabetes and he is helping me with my weight loss goal and to one day be off all my insulin by reversing my diabetes.
I would love to be your friend and help support your efforts and celebrate your success. I live in Ohio we it’s my spouse and daughter.

Hi Jen and BeYourBestSelfDeb,
I have been on MFP for a while on and off. I need to lose more than 100 pounds. I have a set exercise routine now since I have subscribed to this gentleman whose name is Paul Eugene page on youtube. He has chair exercises an low cardio ones that really do help.
I am also partially disabled, have sleep apnea, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, PCOS, and doing therapy for a knee replacement that I had. (Weight bearing and therapy is painful).
The important thing is that we do not give up. A little bit everyday and we will get there. Always remember, the race is not for the fastest or the swiftest, but those who endured to the end.
If the both of you are open to it, I would like to be a part of this group and become friends as we go on this journey together. Supporting, motivating and celebrating each others success.

Hello,
My name is Karen and I also have 100 pounds to lose yet again. I am limited in walking due to nasty arthritis but I am sure I could find something else that would work at the gym. In 2010I had bacterial meningitis and started at a gym because I was so weak. Worked very hard and lost 130 pound and had my knees replaced. Weight came back about 2 years after going back to work in a very stressful job
I really need to do this to improve my health. Would be good to have some accountability here1 -
Hi and welcome. I have been on and off here for many years but pretty regular for the past two years. I have lost 140-145 but need to lose about 80 more. I would love to hear from any of you with what is and isn’t working. I have gone to a Whole Foods diet- fruit, vegetables, lean protein(chicken/fish), whole grains. I do sometimes eat more processed food and refined carbs but as a general rule avoid it. This has drastically reduced my insulin dosages. I have pretty major health issues but have been swimming laps and using a recumbent exercise bike for exercise.0
