The elliptical and bike are still uncomfortable for my knee and cause swelling :( Slow process. I do have a work out from my physio, just looking for something that I can love again. Thanks for the walking workouts! I will definitely try them :smiley:

Just getting back on track after knee surgery so would love to connect with you all! Sometimes a quick "way to go" comment is what makes the difference when you feel like quitting. You never know when your words help others :)

Thanks everyone :smiley:

Can I still get in on this? I'm on 5 workouts so far this month but I just started last week :) What a great way to keep each other motivated! :)

I have 4 kids, 3 still at home, work full time and am taking college courses online so I would love it if you would add me to your support group! Together we can get it done!

I will gladly be your friend :)

I'll add you as a friend too. I just started this week so I only have my friend who introduced me to MFP. I think that having support from everyone will only help us keep on track! Stay strong :)
