Fat, Unfit and Fifty

Do you have access to an elliptical or a recumbent bicycle? Those are supposed to be great exercise machines for your joints (not to much pressure on them). When I had hurt my leg and foot (from running), the physical therapist told me to use the recumbent bicycle. I did, but I prefer the elliptical.

Good luck! I would love it if you added me as a friend.

I'm glad you posted this! I hurt both my feet by running in crap shoes, and I am finding that the elliptical and the regular exercise bike still bother them. I will have to try the recumbant bike!

Welcome! I will be 50 in October, and am currently dealing with feet issues. Nothing as bad as what you are recovering from! I currently use MFP mostly to keep track of my protein and nutrition as I am in maintenance mode. I would encourage you to keep tracking even once you've hit your goal as losing the weight is actually the easy part. It is maintaining it that is the most difficult!

What about swimming till you gain the confidence/are fully recovered for something more intense?

More thank you :bigsmile:

I have done the friends thing and 'spoken' with some nice people :bigsmile:

Swimming is definitely on the list! Thank you :bigsmile:

Had a yuck day food wise, but the first since I've started tracking. I have some sort of blood sugar issue and if I don't eat enough one day then the next day I suffer. Will put another thread up as I could do with some ideas
