Hello Red 67

I joined this forum 2 years ago when I was very immobile due to arthritis and going on to have a hip replacement I needed to lose weight for my son's wedding I really didn't think I had much hope as I couldn't do anything exercise BUT I did it It's all down to calorie intake

This is the best place to be post often and you will get loads and loads of support as I did I know I would never have done it without these lovely people 😊

Hi, thanks for the reply. I find exercise difficult as I have arthritis in my feet, knees, and hips. I work full time and am on my feet all day which I find hard but I need to lose weight to take pressure off my knees etc. I hope with everyone's support I can do it.

Don't dwell too much on not being able to exercise You will do it and it will help your knees so much

It must be so hard to be on your feet all day I feel for you

Keep positive and keep posting 😊
