I have avoided stairs almost all my life. They make my knees hurt and when I get to the top of the flight, I always feel like I can't breathe and my heart is going to beat out of my chest...I hate that feeling. Well, this weekend my wonderful boyfriend took me to a bed and breakfast. Our room was at the top of the stairs. I climbed those stairs over and over again and it didn't bother me in the least bit :) I actually made excuses to go downstairs so I could walk back up them and have that feeling again :)

    It is very satisfying when you get an NSV that brings home to you that not only are you losing weight but you are fitter and more healthy. How lovely for you, well done.:bigsmile:

    I get this. Getting winded on the stairs caused me to ask the dr for a stress-echo to see if it was dangerous for me to work out. It showed poor physical conditioning. So now I am losing weight and getting healthier. Going up and down the stairs is the first place that I saw a difference. It is a great feeling isn't it!:happy: Great NSV

    Stairs are also my nemisis!! I hate that out of breath, heartbeating feeling! I can walk 4 miles and not get as out of breath as one flight of stairs can make me!! This is a true goal of mine- thanks for letting me know I am not alone and it is possible!! Good job!!
