For about 5 years I haven't been able to do meaningful (sustained aerobic) exercise because of the collaboration of the evil twin demons of severe arthritis of the knees and weak legs (due to a back problem).

My plan has been to lose enough weight so that could successfully undergo knee replacement surgeries. I was sure that I could at least walk a few miles at a time with new knees.

I've been concerned about losing weight without significant exercise because I know that I'm losing a lot of lean muscle tissue in addition to the fat. I have really been eager to feel better physically as a benefit of exercise.

Last week I had my annual neurological eval (because of the back problem--EMG, MRI etc). It showed that my legs have become significantly weaker over the year and as a result, I cannot (ever) have knee replacement surgery because I couldn't do the necessary rehab with the leg weakness. I'm screwed. :cry

Anyone else have difficulty exercising?

Hey how are you doing? you just had a surgery!!! wow I am scheduled on Nov 1st I am freaking out!

I wear a 2 piece tankini. I find it is easier to get on. The top is like a tank top and the bottom is like underwear with more support

I love LOVE them. I do alter the top a bit I just shorten the straps with a little hand sewing. I dont want my boobs falling out.
