I'm intrigued.....what is 'water walking' Sal??? Sounds interesting! :smile: Well done on the swimming etc.....

Hi Paulina, Your circumstances sound very challenging indeed. Medication that may do us good or be vital, can also deal us a difficult hand.....side effects. I find too, that the less I physically do, the more I believe i need to eat.....restlessness and boredom I'm sure. It's good to see you on this post. I hope that you…

Hi Robbin, Thank you for messaging me.....I'm amazed how much weight you have already lost considering the restriction that your liomited mobiilty places on you!! Well done you. It's so encouraging to see as well. Like you I don't drive, so my husband is my chauffer as well as my carer and cook etc... I'm very lucky to…

I'm looking forward to working out in bed by the way Jazzalea! I'd certainly never thought of that before, LOL. :laugh: Dancing under the duvet to good music, would cetainly be different and far from boring. Unlike using my exercise bike. Thanks for sharing your top tips!! Amber

Hi Zylahe, Thanks for your message. I'm sorry to read about your situation but very impressed by how much weight you've still managed to loose. It's encouraging. I too have learnt so much in such a short time! I've decided to set up a new group Limited Mobility & Alternative Exercises. I thought you may find it of interest…

Hi again Turtle_12, Well after a few weeks pondering your suggestion, I've decided to create a group for Limited Mobility & Alternative Exercises. I have sent you an invite. As you said you have sturggled to find many other individuals in a similar situation. You may therefore find it helpful. You may also be able to share…

Hi Squeaktones, Thanks for your message.....what great suggestions too :happy: I will look up that website! I appreciate your positivity and encouragements too. I think this is as much about having the right attitude and seeing things from a new perspective, as doing the exercise itself. I've learnt so much since joining…

Hi Bahacca, :smile: Thanks for your message. I only found it this evening. Sorry for the delay. Thank you for the great suggestion. It sounds interesting. I'm not familiar with PBS though. Can you tell me what PBS is please?Is it a TV station? I'm in England. Do you know if this is something I can view / access on the…

Hi Shinelikevega :happy: Thank you for your message. Apologies for the late reply. I use MFP on my mobile most days and it's only when I'm on my laptop that I can use the Community area of this website and read / reply to messages. I have taken the decision to set up a new group: Limited Mobility & Exercise Alternatives. A…

Hi Quppy, Welcome to the forum. Thought I'd say hello and introduce myself. I joined only yesterday too. Like you, I've also had the majority of my BC treatment. Be nice to find a few people to encourage each other to meet our goals. Feel free to keep in touch.:wink:

Thank you Turtle_12. I've never heard of that phrase "10% gym 90% kitchen".......I shall bare that in mind though. It does make sense. It sounds like it's been a bit frustrating having found so few physically limited / disabled individuals here. I'm surprised. I thought there would be lots. It's such a common…

Thanks Jazzalea for taking the time to reply to me. There were some very sensible suggestions in your message. I hadn't really broken things down the way you had. By that I mean, that I can adapt certain things to different environments such as my bed. I'll have a think about that idea. Have you done this? Can you suggest…

Thanks for the message.... and this. I've worked out MFP, by the way! I've been working with 'sedentary' and '1 lb per week', just as you were saying and hope to see some progress soon. Thanks for the vote of confidence :happy:
