    Thank you. Before I started on this journey, I had to have my Husband and kids help me put my shoes on. It was hard to bend down to do it myself.

    Wonderful achievement and I don't feel a at all sorry for you because you are taking your life back!!!! Coming from a wife of a man that was over 500 I know what it's like! He was having problems even putting on his socks! It was a wake up call for both of us and kick started a much healthier lifestyle! Congrats!!!

    What a great story!! Keep up the good work, very inspiring. Do you have a pool near you? I found out the medical center near me had a physical therapy fitness center with a salt water pool. They have memberships which were cheaper than the gyms nearby and the people working there seem better trained. I have arthritis in my feet and knees making workouts very painful. but I started in the pool and it was amazing how easy it was and how much i could do. I started just walking and taking a water aerobics class. Now I can actually jog in the water. (I had to add water aerobic shoes that look like running shoes with holes) I discovered an added bonus that I became much more flexible after working out in the water. Guess it was a relief to my whole body to be basically weightless for a while!

    Keep up the good work and thanks for posting!

    Thank you, I live in a very small town. A couple of years ago they shut our pool down here in our town because it isn't wheelchair acessable (sp?) I never learned to swim either, so I don't go swimming a lot.

    hanks, my A1C was 6.9 when I went in February, when I went in May it was 5.7. My doctor was very impressed with it. I am still working hard. Don't want to stick my fingers every day and take shots or anything like that.
