When you forget how far you have come..

Some days I wake up and I forget about how far I have come and how much my hard work paid off. When you and your family see you every day it’s hard to see the difference. I cannot stress the importance of photos during the process. This is my ONLY before pic that I have (and I actually thought I had deleted it because I was so ashamed of what I looked like and what I had done to myself). Best of luck to each and every one of you- It is possible for EVERYONE.

I have severed (bone on bone) osteoarthritis in both of my knees. I 've done this without ANY high impact workouts as they are totally impossible for me. I also was unable to do anything that required my behind on the floor (sit ups even) as my tailbone sticks out so bad ( I have a very mis-shaped pelvis from a shattered pelvis from a car accident 13 years ago)

Feel free to add and I will try to encourage everyone the best I can. :flowerforyou:
