Can I still join? I'm Maureen from Colorado Springs, Colorado - now in Kentucky. Lost a buttload of weight 5 years ago on a high protein diet and I (stop me if you've heard this before) gained it all back, and more. I am now 57 and I have MS, a husband, a teenage daughter and a dog. I work full-time, have difficulty walking but need to exercise - and need some accountability and support to *REALLY* make a life change this time. Glad you're all here!4

My wife and I are bowling in a league for the first time. She just turned 60. Im 58.
She finally got wil enough with Humira to bowl again. Now she really loves it. I had always enjoyed bowling but didn't go much in the last decade because she couldn't.
And Sunday we signed up for a second league. Bowling Sunday and Tuesday in leagues. And several other days for practice.
Love this! Have fun Guys!1 -

Hi Maureen! I live in Colorado Springs now. Two teenage boys and a dog Great group of supportive peeps here.0 -
@MaureenInCS, welcome! I have RA and plantar fasciitis so have trouble walking as well. I bought a used recumbent bike a couple of years ago and after using it to hold my coats I now ride it for a minimum of 20 minutes a day. It's easy on the knees and stable.4

Swimming is great for a no impact full body workout too. If you have a Y near you, check it ot if you can.
My wife has spondyloarthritis. Deep water aerobics classes really help her with mobility, strength, and endurance.2 -
So sorry she's dealing with that, @fishgutzy.1

Very good luck in this journey.1 -
Been feeling really sorry for myself lately, so am a bit quiet. Once I snap out of my fugue. I'll start posting again - please bear with me.4

Great Job Steve!1 -
Can I join? I recently turned 50. I started working out again 5 to 6 days a week. I could use the support. I've joined a group who does weekly Fitbit challenges to keep me on target.1
