Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Thank you for your encouragement. I used to work out about an hour a day religeously until my hips couldn't take it anymore due to arthritis. When I stopped, I gained 70 lbs and my glucose went way out of control. Back then I could control it with diet and exercise. Now I take 2 oral meds and insulin. Now that I found something I can do that is almost no impact I will be alot better off. I always was great with sticking to the work out as long as I could do it in the privacy of my own home. I have always been too self conscious to do it in public. For any one else like me, i got my equipment on Ebay for $23.00, so it doesn't have to bankrupt you. My major problem is food and eating disorders. -Sunny --- ERWachter@... wrote: > > In a message dated 2/21/2006 12:12:49 A.M.
