I just joined today and have spent a lot of time reading thru some of the threads here. I am starting from the very beginning here after a back injury 6 years ago and complete inactivity since....regained lots of weight that I had worked very hard to get off. I just bought a Schwinn Meridian Trike and while I might feel self-conscious about it the bottom line is that I'm out there and on it...started with once around the block and working up from there.
So embarrassed...yeah but so glad to be on the move again!
