I just started this site because following some injuries I gained a lot of weight, and I am trying to get back to being healthy again. It would be nice to have more support on here, so add me as a friend and don't be shy :)

    Welcome! I'm new here also. I'm trying to recover from a bad back condition by losing weight and gaining strength. I have about 55 pounds to go. I'll send you a friend request. :)
  • Same here, It would be great to have some online support. Good Luck with your goal and stay positive =]

    Same here. Previously an active person, I recently joined this site after gaining 40 pounds due to a work-related injury. I fell 13 feet off the 2nd story on a construction site and landed on concrete. I broke both heels, two ankles, and one arch with a dislocation and was non-weight-bearing for 3 1/2 months. I've had two reconstructive surgeries on both feet, and have another scheduled on my right foot for Thursday. I'll be unable to exercise again, not bearing weight until the end of April. I may not be able to navigate well on here, but I need ideas from people who have been in this boat. It's tough to lose weight when you can't exercise. Help!

    Me too! I just started this week. I have tried lots of different programs and failed. This is mostly due to my own self-sabotage where my weight is concerned. Would love to build a support network!
  • I started this week, too. For once, I want to be healthy! I added you :smile:
