I have been trying to lose weight off and on my whole life. I have been living with MS for 32 years. Anyone have tips on what to do when you walk very slowly with a cane? Exercise is so hard. I have to cut my calories down ust to compensate.

    I use a recumbent, stationary bike that I bought at Walmart years ago. I do 30-60 mins a day. I also stay on a ketogenic diet and eat 1250 calories/day. It's still a struggle because of all the steroid use. Keep plodding forward! I was dx;d in 1999, am 55 years old, and an RN currently on short term disability.

    I also have a recumbent bike but I don't use it as often anymore. I became secondary progressive 5 years ago and 2 years ago it got so that I can only do about 5 minutes at a time on it. I have had the MonSter for 33 years now, I am 51.
