Hi :) That would be great to start a buddy thread... how do you do that? I've used one of those arm things when i went to physical therapy a few years back, it did get my heart rate up so that would be a great excercise if that's something you can do :) How long have you had MS, one of my friends mothers has it... i'm sorry you have to deal with that, but you can still get to your goal just like that lady you were talking about :)I'm thinking of doing slim fast for breakfast and lunch and then eating dinner because i'm not eating that healthy now and that way i'll get all those vitamins that will help my bones heal. Hope you had a good week :)
