How nice to hear from someone else with hms! I am sorry to hear that your AT has been affected also. The Rhumy gave me exercise as a prescription as you say, it was difficult to go to the gym to do things, I got a band from the physio and did some exercises, and had a bit of bad luck when working with the physio as caused…

Hi, well done in your loss so far. I am starting out, and feeling quite scared about the new lifestyle. How far away from your ideal weight are you now? Do you like being the weight you now are? Do you like the clothes you have etc?

thanks

yes i would like to get back to swimming, i need to see the physio first to see if I can swim yet after the knee injury, I can swim with the achillies tendonapathy. The issue really is the long walk to the changing rooms which are at the far end of the gym and the pool, on top of the car park. I have appllied for a car…

I know why I am stressed, there are five reasons that are out of my control and I can't eliminate, I am working on what is in my control. I also need to find new hobbies other than distractions, which are great short term and rubbish long term.

I am sorry to hear you have had health problems. Well done you for keep going too. I can't get up and down the stairs easily, I sleep downstairs mostly, and go up and down every two days for a shower, thankfully we have a downstairs cloak room. I will ask the physio for some exercises.

What is stopping me taking a wheelchair to the gym, many things. I don't own one, the cost, how to you transport it to and from the gym, who will push me etc... also my exh's cousin and her friend go there, and I hate the idea that they see me fat and walking badly as it is, the idea of them laughing at me or pitying me…

Thanks good advice. I need to find something to reward myself with, and a new habbit to go with the cup of coffee.

well done x

Wow, thanks guys. It is nice to hear about your sucess!
