[acb-diabetics] weight loss

[Alice Ritchhart]

Once again the best place I found was my YWCA. They weren't turned 
off by my blindness, and have gone out of their way to give me one on 
one instruction when I try a new routine. I do to heart and joint 
issues do water arobics, and the life guard helps me with hands on 
demonstration the other women get jealous (grin) stating I can't see 
either could you show me. If I do the bikes in the room with 
equipment someone from the center helps to set it. Just my two cents worth.
