Getting my legs back

Yo, I'm Ness
I play a lot of video games and recently got back into enjoying exercise from the help of a couple friends.
I've been working on getting back to using my legs after a surgery about 2 years ago. I haven't been able to jog, run, skateboard or anything that involves putting a lot of pressure on my feet.
More recently I've been easing into workouts with jump rope. It's been super fun and gets me up and moving more. After a couple months I've been slowly losing motivation due to lack of "progress" on my weight goal, but still pushing myself everyday to keep going.
Figured I'd post here to try to motivate myself further

Hey Ness, that's great. Congrats on getting on your feet again. I had an autoimmune disease attacking my lungs for a while so I was in a wheelchair for a couple of years, I know how good it feels to be able to get up and start walking around again.
Good for you for pushing thru the rough patches. Welcome, the forums here are full of encouraging people.1
