in Introduce Yourself
I have joined this site to 1. lose some wieght and 2. get myself into better condition.

I have AS (ankylosing spondylitis) which causes my spine to fuse together. Exercise can be tricky. For the last couple years I have had a hard time moving as the AS has moved into my SI joint. Recently I have begun acupunture treatments and this has given me my life back! My pain level is cut back to about 50% of what is was and I am riding my bike and doing my (very slow) taekwondo once more.

I also quit smoking this past January and am loving being smoke free - but gosh I sure did gain a little wieght!

Looking forward to losing the extra pounds and getting fit again :)
