    Maybe take a pain killer about a half an hr before your treadmill, thats what I do. Even just do 5 min tonight, or what ever you can do. Then increase it by a minute when the 5 min starts to get a little easy. This is everyones personal journey hun. Just make it a competition against yourself. Good luck.

    do you have access to a pool? aquatic zumba may be a great solution. I have friends that do that because of similiar issues

    Welcome to MFP. There will be many tough times in this journey just keep trying and pushing forward. I have lost 127 lbs with 123 to go. I say that so you can see I will be here for the long haul. Anyone can feel free to add me for additional support. Good Luck
