66 days ago went to the doctor distraught, pain in my knees unbearable. Unable to walk normally up the stairs or walk normally coming down them. out of breath at the thought of moving. ON the scales the doctor demanded. She asked did I want to know my weight. I answered yes I needed to face my fear. I was the heaviest I've ever been. Today 66 days later I've lost 16lbs I can walk upstairs and down stairs normally. still get pain in my knees due to athritis. I've got 10 stone to lose but my journey has begun xx

    I was in that position just over a year ago and now 80lb down, active and strong. I still have pain in my knees from arthritis but it doesn't stop me being active. Good luck, take it steady and you can do it!
