This was an emotional read, I love the pictures and I love your attitude. My mom also has knee problems, I may show her this post to give her some inspiration. Thank you! Good luck in your future weight loss.

I added you as a new MFP sister.

I am so glad that you liked the pictures. Bailey is a new addition to our family. Ed and I just moved to Apple Valley in March. When we found out that we could have a 'small dog' in our new home, we picked up Bailey at the local animal shelter. She is now very much at home and 'alpha' in our family.

My doctor referred me to a surgeon, after he saw x-rays of my knees. The surgeon said that I was a great candidate for new knees, because my labs were all good..."but". There is always a butt with doctors. His but was..."You will have to lose about 70 pounds to qualify for that surgery."

I declined gastric surgery, because of my concerns for possible complications and permanent changes to an internal organ. That's when I decided to make the commitment to eat healthier. The first thing that I gave up was sodas. I started out on a liquid supplement diet, but my doctor asked me to add 'real food'. That's when I decided to count calories. I found MFP online in late December and have been slowly but surely losing weight ever since.

I'm 68 years old and live a very sedentary life, mostly in a wheelchair with only a few painful step around the house in my walker. I do Sit And Fit exercises for about 30 minutes each day. My food plan and that little bit of exercise have been very effective.

Age and limited mobility are no reason to think that a person can't lose weight and improve their life. If your Mama needs new knees, she will have to show the surgeons that she is willing and able to take some weight off of her body and keep it off. New knee replacements will only fail, if someone carries too much weight on those titanium knees.

My primary goal is Onederland to get those new knees, but it won't stop there. Once I have reached the 100's, I will be setting a new goal...probably in the 170's or less. That will make sure that I don't end up back in my wheelchair in just a few years.

Give your Mama my love, and tell her to come over to MFP. She can become my MFP sister any day.

I am glad that you found "sit and be fit"
It won't be long 'til you have those new knees and are back to dancing

So uplifting. Thanks for sharing. Love the rose which is my mom's favorite flower. Loved tending her gardens. Losing her slowly to Alzheimer's but, I do cherish the memories. The picture of the rose sparked some very pleasant memories.
