Hey everyone! Im new to this forum, and I can see its exactly what I need! I am a band patient who was on the verge of being in a wheelchair due to degenerative joint disease in my hips and back and rhumetoid arthritis in my knees. I am now 98 pounds lighter and have discovered that I LOVE working out!!!!

So please take me under your wing and love me through my trials LOL I am looking for friends to encourage me and keep me accountable while i reach my goals!!

Thanks sooooooooooooo much
