in Motivation and Support
I'm new here and need support. I don't have much support at home. I'm diabetic and have bad knees from the weight. My goal right now is to loose 50 lbs.

    Do you have access to a swimming pool? That might be good exercise since you mentioned that you have bad knees.

    You can do it! I always seem to stop exercising because I don't have enough motivation and my boyfriend who can eat anything and not gain a pound doesn't really encourage good eating habits but if you just set a little reminder every day to come on this site and log everything, you will start to be aware of your eating. I've found that I feel, act, and seem so much happier and alive when I am active that you will definitely start to notice a change in a week if you look for it which help encourage working out.

    As for exercise, I definitely recommend swimming for getting into shape.

    Good luck, you can do it!!!!

    Feel free to add me I always am looking to give/get support!!!! An elliptical seems to be low impact. Have you tried one of those? Also swimming is great.
