Ok, I am going to try this. I am 52 years old, a hard working waitress, weighing in at 235 lbs. I have arthritis in my feet and I know the extra baggage is killing me...literally. So lets see if I can do this.

    You came to the right place. I feel your pain with the foot arthritis. I had my big toe joint replaced in January. Third surger on the same toe is scheduled for 12/21 to remove two bones that are atrhritic. Hoping that get's rid of the rest of the pain.
    Good luck to you.

    Ok...I am going to give this a shot. I'm 48 years old. The weight has been creeping up on me and now it's out of control! I want to lose at least 40 pounds. I have lost all my energy and I don't want to feel like this anymore!!

    I have the same issue with my feet, which makes it difficult to exercise, but the more I weigh, the more they hurt. We can do this!

    This is my 40th day and had a lot of fluid build up in my legs....61 lbs later, no more fluids. I have a ways to go and this site is awesome and a great tool in my journey.
