in Introduce Yourself
I don't think this sight is for me any more , I can't exercise as my knee injury condition has now deteriated Further due to a newly diagnosed Right hip bursitis and Saphenous nerve injury to my left knee so I am back to doing nothing for god knows how long. I'm just becoming a bore and have nothing to offer to you all. I am not in a good place no one likes a whinger. I truly wish you all the very best and have every faith in you all that you will achieve your goals. I am finding hard to read what everyone is able to do whilst I can do nothing. I had so much hope this morning of getting my life back on track but this news has left me gutted. See what I mean about whinging :( God bless you all xxx

    Oh--don't give up! There's still plenty you can do, even with a bum hip and knee. Physical fitness is 75 percent nutrition!!!! Why don't you focus on that for as long as it takes to get your injuries under control?

    Why not use the site to track calories? One can eat well regardless of one's physical level.

    Sorry to hear about your knee injury. It sounds like you could do with some support. You can still eat healthily and log even if you are not able to exercise - is leaving MFP really the only option?

    Quit fussing about what anyone else thinks and don't give up. Just my 2 cents...

    Just because you say you "CANT" exercise means you should be tracking your calories more carefully than EVER since you will be less active. Stay positive and persevere through life's challenges.

    The lowest impact exercise you can do for your body would be swimming, I suggest getting a membership to a gym or pool where you can go swimming for 40-60 minutes a few days a week.

    Why are you quitting?
    Have you looked into getting something like a hand cycle for exercise?

    i think you should still log ur foods and keep track of your nutrition so u don't go overboard... if being on the forums is upsetting you, you don't have to go on them, but u should still take advantage of the other tools so u can stay on track. and talk to ur doctor about what things you CAN do

    I think you need the site more than ever! If you can't exercise you need to watch you eat even more closely. Also, have you tried yoga? It helps with the arthritis in my shoulder. It was also the only thing I could do after a knee injury.

    This site, or any site for that matter, is what you make of it. Use it for the wealth of information, positivity, and tracking your calories/ macros. Use it to find out what exercises you CAN do. Good luck in striving to be as healthy as YOU possibly can be :flowerforyou:

    Don't give up. The people on this site can still offer support and share nutritional information. Hang in there. We are all supposed to do the best we can with what God gave us, because he never gives us more than we can handle. Even though sometimes it feels that way.
    So, just stay here a while longer, see how things go, and we all will be by your side if you need us for anything.

    I agree! Look into swimming, you may be able to get exercise despite your injuries. And getting the weight off will help you deal with injury. My dad has bad knees and a bad back and I really wish he would buckle down, watch his diet, and go swimming. I just know he would feel so much better if he got some of his extra weight off.

    And I also agree that losing weight is mostly done through diet. You can do it!

    Agreed!! I was using MFP to track on my phone for months before I realized there was a whole online community. Do it for you, not for anyone else. Take care of yourself!!

    I am so sorry for your injuries. I suggest you try doing easy stretches. I have a DVD called Stretching with Jacques Gauthier and Dorothee Lavoie. Jacque tells how he was ill and had such severe pain from a condition that it took him 20 minutes to get out of bed! But he started doing stretches (at first he could barely do any of them) and now he is pain free and he and his wife, Dorothee, walked across Canada. The stretches are not very hard and I always feel good after doing them. You see, not everyone can do the hard exercises. At least not at first and since you need to take it easy, this would be a good way to do something and keep at it. You have a lot of support here! I believe that you can find this DVD on Amazon. Good luck! You can do this!
