When I belonged to the Y one of the things I loved about it was that there were people of literally every age, shape, and size. It was a real revelation after belonging to a 24 hr Fitness that was more like a meat market than a gym. Believe me, as said above, everyone is to worried about themselves to notice you. Once you're in the water no one can really see you anyway. But I totally understand the feelings.

I started the C25k today and I'm just modifying it for myself. I did 7 of the running intervals and I plan to just keep repeating each wee****il I feel ready to move on. I'm using the RunDouble app and it lets me do that. I also like it because it automatically shares to the My Fitness Pal app where I track everything anyway.

I should mention, also, that my tear was 17-19 month ago now. So I've had some healing time.
I walked with a cane for about a month after my meniscal tear. I couldn't walk, period, for about 3 days afterward -- I just kind of hopped around.
At any rate, your orthopedist will likely be the best source of information. I just wanted to share as there were some parallels and figure it couldn't hurt to share.

Each of us is so different on what our body will allow us to take in before exercising. If I am working out in the gym I don't worry about fuel. I go after work and just do my training. If i am going for a run I usually have a banana with some peanut butter on it. I fuel with maple syrup that has sea salt and ginger mixed in. Took a years for me to find fuel that my body will allow me take in and work out.
