Looking for similar friends to keep me motivated

Sounds like me. I also need to lose about 40lbs. I, too, have medical issues that keep me from walking for exercise, which I used to do. I do the stretch bands now, which takes a little more effort, and I can still do gardening, which is slow right now, but will pick up when spring arrives. I do belong to a TOPS chapter that helps me to stay on track and be somewhat accountable. We are involved in a contest right not that requires me to do a random act of kindness 3 times per week. I'm counting this as one. Thanks for posting.
