Hello all- I am most certainly disabled, but it is an "invisible disability" and I don't use walking aids. I gained about 90 lbs since I became unable to dance/jog/workout. I'm on the right track now for just over a month with MFP'S help.
Tracking/ watcging my calories has been easy, but it has been difficult as many have mentioned to find and log exercises that I am able to do.
I'm thankful that I can walk most of the time, but also thankful for a thread that would understand that I just can't "go for a run" without severe consequences.
I wish someone could come up with some fun challenges for those of us with varying levels of abilities

It took me 2 hours to find this thread. I needed a thread with people that are disabled in varying degrees like here. I have a a chronic, degenerative auto immune, plus other fun things. I can be in a wheelchair one day and walking around the next week looking like everyone else. I was 100+lbs overweight when I started losing, and still have about 100 to go. Dr is working with me, so that helps. The weight has made the dependence on devices more frequent. I know that the motorized chair is an eventual definite thing, but I want to put it off as long as possible.
Is this the only page of people like us? Is there a group (with link, please) for more posts like this? Thanks for opening up on here to let others like me know they are not alone.0 -
My apologies for the delayed response again....
I used to be a member of a group on here, but it just disappeared
I have set one up for now, as it would be of great interest to me. We can always try and see....
