Doing my best

I'm back. Hoping to be successful this time around. I have arthritis in my right knee so I can run anymore. The weight is pulling on and I'm disgusted with myself. I found that I can do 3 miles a day on the treadmill so for the last few days that's what I've been doing. At this rate it will take forever to see results but I have to do something. I'm easily discouraged and fall off so quick. I'm searching for some serious supporters to help me along the way. I need all the help I can get. Thank you

    Right here with you! I have arthritis as well, but in my back... on my sciatic nerve. I have to be gentle on most exercise equipment at the gym; one wrong twist and I'm done for! Found that out the hard way on a core building machine ironically enough. lol! I found that the elliptical and bike are my best friends though. Gentle is key for me so I completely feel you on the slow results. That stuff can drive you loopy after a while.
    You definitely have my support!

    If you set your goal to weightloss, and consistently eat the amount of calories suggested, you will lose weight. You don't have to exercise.

    Welcome! Is there a pool nearby where you can focus on upper-body work with a buoy to support your legs?
