[ms_motivation]

Hi. I just joined and wondered if anyone here has any advice for me. I'm on a limited income because my husband is the only breadwinner right now. I can't work for awhile because I have MS, so I'm basically at home all the time. I have a treadmill and old exercise bike and just purchased what they call a swiss ball. I do know for a fact, not just because I watch carbs, but from experience that I need more protein than anything else to get me through the day. As far as the MS goes, the doctors around here aren't very helpful and I'm searching for any that know much about MS to help me in all ways. I really feel I'm limited about exercising not just because of my illness but also because I live in an upstairs apartment, above grouchy people who are well known for complaining about everything, such as my husband walking too hard/loud on the floor (which is hard for him to tiptoe because he's 6'5" and around 250 lbs. He'd like to get on a regimen as well, to lose a few extra pounds and get back to his toned ol' self. We don't do the jogging thing because of our knees and it's not very safe to do much walking around here because of traffic. There's a gym I want to join but they cost $50 a month so my best bet is to start with a nutrition plan and try to get enough exercise at home. I was thinking about getting those tae bo tapes from billy blank. Has anyone tried them?
