Ready to get started

Hi, my name is Jeannie, I'm not really good at posting things or keeping up with post but I know I need to try and I also know that I will most likely need help. Due to long term sickness and life long sickness I have let myself go down hill and gained 63 pound in a 3 yr. period. Needles to say I am not happy with myself and I know for my heath I need to get back in shape.
I have rejoined a new and have had my son (who's an orthopedic) create a workout for me to start off with. I had surgery on my leg from the knee down and spent 6 months not walking on it without some form of assistance. Now that therapy is over and I can walk on it along its time to start.
I did start my diet today and so far so good ( it sort a helps when my stomach is not in a good mood today) I am just crossing my fingers that I wont wus out and fail.
