MDJunction to me

jackie1979"MDJ is like a family to me where I can talk to others who understand how I feel. I can as group leader help others and support them and be there
for each other for the good and bad times. MDJ has helped me come to terms with my disability and be able to live my life and be positive. I just hope that I can be there for others like my friends on MDJ have been here for me.

An eliptical trainer would probably be easier on your joints, but a treadmill is good too. A woman I used to work with bought one and took to walking for 45 minutes every morning before work. She was losing 10 a month and had lost like 60 lbs in 6 months. I've always wanted one too...
