No More Pain After Years of Suffering

epixstudiosnh

I have taken to working out more. When I am at work I use the office gym on all of my breaks. I have been using the elliptical and the treadmill or I go outside and walk a mile on each break (3 per day). I have been noticing a huge difference in my legs, especially my thighs. They are sore as all get out but they are getting stronger. The biggest difference that I notice is that they are strong enough now to support my legs while going up and down the stairs and have eliminated all of the pain that I had in my left knee. That knee has been on constant pain when going up or down stairs for years and over the last few days I have not felt any! I am also not getting winded when I go up to my third floor apartment either.

That is brilliant news - I have improved in theme way, I have had osteo-arthritis for a few years now, and as I lost weight (I have lost 85lbs through counting calories and walking on treadmill) as I've lost weight, my pain has got less and less.
Keep up the good work.

Awesome! This thread is one of my favorites http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10052379/unexpected-results-of-weight-loss/p1
- anytime you get frustrated or feel like you are not doing as well as you like and are tempted to give up and you need a reminder of the not so obvious benefits of losing weight and getting fitter/healthier, read a few pages of it - it will help you be more aware of the benefits you are experiencing even if the scale is not moving as fast as you would like.

Congratulations, epix! When I was in Weight Watchers, our leader told us to look for non-scale improvements. Yours is grand!

I have been trying not to focus on the scale numbers as much and focus on the fact that I am building muscles and am now able to fit into seats at arenas that I couldn't fit into before.
