in Introduce Yourself
Greetings Fellow Avelon Passengers
PolarBearBob here, trying to keep my orthopedic surgeon from retrofitting my knees with Teflon.
Any encouragement and constructive advice is most welcome. The good doctor has my complete attention. After describing the operation he wants to do to my knees, I'm highly motivated to make this program work.
Wish me luck.

    You can do this! I'm losing weight for similar reasons. I've seen friends and relatives suffer through knee and/or hip replacement that were required (at least in part) by their weight.

    I guess running is not an option here. Running a lot is the only way I seem to lose weight.

    Thanks for Hoorays, I'm a list maker and planner by habit, so I've stacked the deck in my favor.
    Outfitted a spare bedroom downstairs as my gym. I've got a Nordic Track stationary bike I'm using for aerobics and a Wieder Smith Machine loaded with all the bells and whistles.
    I've been in the room a week trying to workout but it's slow going due to the tonnage I'm hauling around.
    I'll get to my goal because I have no other choice. The option under plan "B" is way too scary.
    Thanks again folks,

    Good luck PBOB. I have osteoarthritis in my hips and I know that every pound lost counts. Keep up the good work with the home gym and losing the weight.

    I lost 32 pounds on here and am now heading for my next 32. If I can do it anyone can.
