Inspiration to Exercise
I've noticed that there have been quite a few posts lately in the TDC by people who want to exercise but are concerned about hurting themselves because of their weight and also don't know exercises they can do. There are lots of people currently in the TDC (such as MisterE) who have had the same issue and have posted responses to those posts. However, I was just thinking about one person who doesn't post here much anymore but is the biggest inspiration I know for exercising at a high weight -- Quiggley. She started out at 570 pounds and started exercising when she weighed in the mid-400s. At her last posting, she was down to 265 pounds. Click here for her journal which is inspirational in many ways, including her dedication to exercise. Most of us can't spend as much time each day exercising as she does (she is on disability so she doesn't have to go to work), but if she can do what she does, we should certainly be able to move and do something.
