1/4 goal!

What started my weight loss last fall, was ending up in the ER for a knee injury. . .I was at a dog show, showing my giant goofball boy and my knee went crack and I couldn't go another step.

I was under the impression I had to exercise in order to lose weight, until I was pointed to this website at the end of the year. .. I've lost 32 pounds(1/4 of my goal!!!) and this weekend I went to my first dog show and showed my own dogs, since the knee injury in September. I had a new knee brace on, new tennies, anda new outfit(Which had been tight when I bought it, and was loose!!) And made it thru the day despite having to run around the show ring probably 15 times with the two dogs! Walking back tot he car(where I was parked in BFE) it twinged once or twice, but nowhere near as bad as what took me out of showing for so long. I am sore today in my calves and tight in the back above the knee, but otherwise, I am fine!!

I am so tickled. . well, making it through the weekend and having my 10.5 yr old girl go Best Veteran

Great job! It must be very nice to know that your effort is really making a difference in the way you feel and what you are able to do . Keep it up!

Great job!! I've had chronic back pain for much of my adult life, but once I started exercising the pain has just about fully disappeared. I no longer need the meds to function! Its a great feeling!! Keep it up, your doing fabulous!
