Rejoined Today. Need to lose 60lbs.

Graceannelizabeth

Hi all,

I was here about 3 years ago. I have since gained more weight due to a broken ankle that laid me up about 15 months ago and need to lose 60lbs. We moved to Tennessee about 10 months ago so a lot of changes. I am still not walking correctly but since I have gained more weight am now embarrassed to go walking or exercise nearby. I need motivation.

Let me know if there are others here that are in the same boat or just would like to be friends.

Thanks.

Hi There! Welcome back :0)

this is my first post....and it hit a nerve when I was reading yours..
likewise I need to lose about 60lbs, and too have been laid up for the last 11 months with a back injury..and the weight piled on as I wasn't very mobile! still not walking great either.... but this week I have taken up swimming.... I bought one of those holiday swimsuits that had the little skirt attached so I felt less conscious... and im finding the pool easier to handle than walking...

so perhaps theres a local swimpool nearby that you could join? and just try to regain your confidence? Don't worry about the others in the pool... just focus on yourself... and getting better... and healthier..

im not sure how to add friends etc.. but feel free to add me if you like :0) would be nice to have company along the road :0) and this time... im hoping to get to a healthy weight.. and fingers crossed the pool will help with the back and the walking!

best of luck in your journey

Katie
