since my accident nearly 2 years ago I have put on 30 pounds. It took me 6 months to walk again and now I have difficulity doing a lot of things I used to take for granted. I have metal in my ankle/leg making working out so hard for me. I'm trying so hard but somethings I just can not do. I joined a gym and I've been swimming since its the only thing I can do easily.

    I'm rooting for you! :D
    I have some medical issues with exercising myself, and i do warm water therapy- ever heard of it? It's like swimming or exercising in a bath tub, the water temperature helps soothe aches and pains while you exercise!
    Good luck getting the weight off!

    i can relate. august 2011 i was in an awful car accident and broke my L femur, and the airbag messed up my face. i still have knee and hip issues to this day from. it. i gained about 20 pounds while i wasn't able to walk, but i'm down to normal weight now, maybe even a little less since it made me realize how walking could be taken from me. instead i run almost every day now :) friend me to talk
