Hi all! I’ve been on here a while, however I’m a new FT wheelchair user due to an incomplete T10 spinal cord injury, so I’m starting my fitness journey again from scratch 😊 Looking for new friends who can help, guide and support, especially during those tougher days! Thanks so much ☀️
I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am able to walk, just not very far or for very long. Anyone have suggested low-impact exercise ideas for someone with fatigue and muscle weakness? Thanks.
I know this community isn't overly active. I think my own last post was three years ago. I'm just looking for others to buddy up with to be supportive & just to vent to on those bad days that we can't do all we wish we could. Hope "meet"some of you soon.

How successful have you all been so far?? I REALLY am struggling with weight loss. It's not a question of "knowing" what I should be doing....because for the most part I do - it's a question of putting that knowledge into practice. There are a lot of reasons why I'm having trouble (I suspect all of you have HAD these…
Hi. I see this group has been not been busy for a bit, but I figured I would go ahead and say hi anyway.:smile: I'm really hoping to use MFP to make some major life changes & would love to find other people with physical obstacles to talk to.
