There and Back Again

Hello. I have been using MFP for a while now. Not sure when I started, maybe 2013? Anyhoo, I lost about 183 lbs and then ... well gained most of it back. My mom passed away 2 years ago September and I didn't want to do anything but sit on the couch and eat comfort food. This year I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both knees. My dr told me I may need surgery, so I'm trying to lose weight enough to put back that surgery hopefully indefinitely. I started redoing MFP last winter and now go to the Y and a local gym. Started slow with recumbent bike and swimming. I'm down 33 lbs and my knees are much better now. Anyone else have OA and started exercising for that?

I'm sure the bike will help you, build up gradually, wishing you luck

I am sorry for the loss of your Mom. But am so happy you started back on the path of health.
I have bounced back and forth and at a ripe old age of 71 am back trying to hold myself accountable to drop about 15-20 pounds.
