Got me a wheelchair...feeling free again. Gosh I missed the outdoors! Working on the upper body muscles. :love:

Usually when I put my mind to something, I follow through. This stumbling block just distracted me. I'm so encouraged to be reading that some can lose weight without exercise. The dumbell's are a great idea.

I've done the hopping on one foot and believe it or not, I was so out of breath and my good leg was feeling the 'burn'. I should also look at the bright side of using crutches. Maybe I'll get rid of that under arm flap :) and build some muscle.

You are right! There are exercises I could do without weight bearing on my foot. THANKS for helping me to see that. I'm not going to allow my injury to be the focus anymore. This is why I love MFP! Feel the love and encouragement. Back at you!

thanks for your encouraging response. I sure hope I can still lose weight, or at least stay where I'm at.

Please let me know if I posted this correctly.

I'm a 'newbie' from 9/17. I so can't wait to be able to put up my photos and be an inspiration to others. Thank you for sharing. Your stories/pictures are very motivational and a good reminder of why I'm doing this. I could use some friends :)
