    Feel free to add! I'm not really into sports, but like to run, mountain bike, workout, and eat.

    Hey Emma! I just sent you a friend request. It's great to hear you are positive and back into it!

    I'm recently back to my college weight (elliptical, eating better, etc) but hoping for some friends and motivation to get those last few pounds down and keep them down!

    - Matt

    I added you as well. I'm trying to get back into shape after having some health issues...it's very tough for me to put on weight so thats what I'm shooting for... far so good! Keep up the good work!

    P.S. Love to play tennis!

    Sounds painful? How is your ankle? Glad to see you're not going to be defeated by an injury! I've friend requested you.

    Something similar happened to me last October. I hit a weight loss milestone, reaching 246 pounds from 362 by counting calories and distance cycling. I got hit by a car and put out of commission. In the process, my weight went back to 290. I'm a recovering athlete and I'm back at it! One step at a time, one turn of the crank at a time. The past is in the past. It's a new day!

    Yikes, add me too - tore a ligament in my ankle more than two and a half months ago.
    The recovery's been sloooow and painful! I could use some motivation as well!

    I went through a horrific knee injury a few years back & because of lack of insurance, I pretty much had to do all my own physical therapy. I had a few people who were uplifting, but most people were very doom & gloom, saying that I would never make a 100% recovery. I was so worried I would never be able to do my favorite activities anymore. Let me give you a word of advice: while you are going through this healing period, try not to get down on yourself or frustrated about what you can't do, but rather, focus on all the things you can do! I promise, everyday you will be able to add 1 more thing to the list. Even if it is just a little thing, feel pride in yourself, because you aren't giving up & accepting defeat. Godspeed!

    My profile picture shows it all :-( Almost four months ago I suffered a severe Jones Fracture. Still not walking, zero weight bearing. It sucks big time. I miss the gym, hiking, biking, swimming and walking my dogs.

    Add me. We'll be gimping together.
