Best of luck to you miss candace! This site has shown to be incredibly supportive! Perhaps the "do you work out zone" might also be of interest.
I have gained quite a bit of weight myself and the process for me to lose it is much harder than it used to be. I have to take my steps in very small increments when exercising due to compromised resp issues. Every day I can do at least a full minute on the elliptical is a small victory!
We got yer back girl!!!
