Fitness Challenge!

I haven't been to this thread since the summer... And have lost nearly 40 pounds in the process. Weighed 294 mid August, and 256 now. But I don't suggest my weight loss methods. A year ago November I had my left knee replaced. Came through that fine, with GREAT Range of Motion. Got me active. Moving. And, I hurt other parts of me in the process. I got better through the summer and was cycling and even started mild jogging again. But in August, I crashed on my bike. Had some head and neck injuries, but worst was I crushed my T9 vertebra and some ribs. I was fused with 2 rods and 10 screws from T7-12, but not enough of the T9 to put screws in. Long story short, I'm recovering quite well. And am active in the gym, but really really low weights. (25 pounds for military press) Its been a tough road, but have learned a lot more about myself than I could have under any other circumstances. If I thought I needed to be in shape before, its multiple amplified now. I do intend to ride bicycles again, though I am having a recumbent trike made for me. I hope to run again too. But that may be years more down the road. If ever.

Oh yeah, wore my Sport Kilt Comfy Kilt frequently in the hospital rehab unit. And wore a kilt I got from one of the rabble here home... Too bad neither fit me now.
