I was a care giver very active excerciesed every day, swam, walked 3 miles and then. Had knee surgery and that put a stop to it, I am limited on what I can do and I have arthritis in my fingers really bad. So I am really limited on what I can do. I love walking the most Now I weigh 194. And have struggled to loose the weight. I was just told I am diabetic which I still do not believe but I am on metforman I guess that is how you spell it and I am really serious about taking the step to loose both.
