Any other Amputees?

Options
Hello,

My name is Naomi. I just joined the group today. I am an amputee and my goal is to lose about 160 pound. I am also a right leg amputee. I'm just wondering if anybody else is, I'd love to talk to you and get your experiences. Thanks!

    I am not an amputee, but I am thinking about becoming one.

    No, seriously.

    My right foot was shredded during a car accident. They saved it, but I am in pain all the time, and it is impossible for me to run, walk long distances, or enjoy any activity which requires being on my feet. I often wonder if I would have a better quality of life if I were to get an amputation. I see many amputees that can RUN with prosthetics. If I keep my foot, I will never run again.
