Hi Sarah....I am not sure exactly what your limitations are (I know with MS but not with your other disability). Have your tried chair aerobics? It's an extremely low impact way to exercise but also compensate for your disabilities. I used to teach chair aerobics when I was a personal trainer (I had to file total…

YAY!!!! Way to go!!! I love hearing all these stories!!! Keep up the great work!

WOW...bionic knees and braces...you go boy!!! I a certainly not saying it's easy...but I just have to look at my life and the cards I have been dealt as...it is what it is. I can give up, sit on the couch and throw a pity party or I can suck it up move on and make the best of life. I choose the latter. Thanks for the…

Thanks kgprice :) good luck in your journey as well!

NAHHHH///to them Im just Kirsten, the anal, ocd hard head who micro-manages everything! lol You know, it's the trainer in me. The desire to push, not only myself but others because my strength, my happiness is seeing others achieve what they never thought they could. :smile:

WOW!!! I would have flown off the back of the treadmill lol!!! Great job!!! That is my nemesis as well and always will be...the constant pounding sends shock waves through my back and I just cant ( not right now anyway ) handle it. Thanks for the kudos...kudos to you as well my friend!

Come on girl....you are awesome too...we all are...just have different stories!!

LOL...thanks Ms. Warrior!!! Good luck to you as well!!

Thanks Stephanie!!!! Best of luck in your journey!!

LOL....the quote is beautiful...thank you for sharing!! My most recent surgery was just May 29th of this year. So my main discomfort was BEFORE the fusion. I AM still in the healing phase of the surgery and after a day of taking care of two teenage boys and housework and/or lawn work...I do have serious discomfort in my…

THANKS!! I look at my "disability" as a challenge...a gift, if you will...to help others who may have similar problems and with my background in training, I may be able to help. If nothing else, empathize with them.

There are "good" carbs, which your body needs as FUEL and "bad" carbs which your body stores as fat.

NOOOO!!! Do not cut your carbs!!! Your body needs carbs as fuel...for example, the "good carbs" you need to re-fuel after a workout...like a grill chicken pita sandwich. You should always put a carb/fuel back into your body after a workout. Carbs after 7..no. I totally agree. All meals and snacks should be done by then…

Just portion control is KEY!!.. Carbs after lunch is fine...in moderation of course. Moderation is the key in all of this. Cutting out carbs is NEVER a good idea. You will lose the weight you want, but put it back on and then some even quicker. WATER>>WATER>>WATER!!

Sure it does. Carbs are needed in our diet...there are good carbs and bad carbs...figuring out which ones are good is paramount. For example, a small potato is good for you, brown rice, whole wheat pasta etc. When you do eat these things, be careful to watch sodium content of the product and increase your water intake for…

:bigsmile: THANKS!! I was a personal trainer for 10 years before my back just couldn't take anymore and I had my two major fusions in 2010. I know all the right things to do and would LOVE to help people on here...training is my passion. But unfortunately had to file disability :sad: ...But it's not gonna beat me...it will…
