    Really cool and a true inspiration. I started losing weight a few months ago and am 25 lbs down. Still a ways from my goal, but seeing you gives me hope that I'll make it.

    Thank you for sharing your story! Very touching! I also have the feeling that mfp is a gift from god for me. It finally became so easy to lose weight! No more starving. It´s like a super-unicorn-rainbow-story! My goalweight is 14 lbs away as well! I will do it and I will stick to it!

    Amazing!!! You look great. Wonderful story and you have your health now. Did you do any form of exercise or become more active in your weight loss journey?

    At first...being confined to a wheelchair, I found myself restricted to sit down exercises. I ordered a couple DVD called Sit and Fit that gave about 30 minutes of upper body workouts each morning. Then, in June...I took a chance. I bought my first swimsuit in more than 50 years. Mu surgeon had told me that could 'swim...but not walk or jump up and down, while in the water." I was sure that I would be the laughing of the Senior Center Outdoor Pool in complex in which we lived at the time. Instead, I welcomed and encouraged.

    At first, I only swam 6 laps of 40 foot pool, but each day I grew stronger. In early October, Ed and I moved back to Hanford, California. No more community pool. I had been working out so hard with my swimming that I was up one hours of laps each day.

    Once back in Hanford, I was scheduled for my surgery; and my new surgeon insisted that going to the pool might risk infection. If I had even gotten Athlete's Foot, the surgery would have been cancelled. So, no more swimming.

    My hubbie joined a local fitness center; and when I am cleared by my doctors (especially the one looking at my recently discovered Lumbar Stenosis (protruding disk), I will get a membership and happily swim again.

    Right now, my exercise is just getting used to my new knees and finally getting to parts of my home that needed some work.




    Incredible story. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration and I wish you health and happiness in your new home.

    Your story is such an inspiration. Many of us, faced with your challenges, might have used them as excuses and given up. You pushed through them all. Much success with your new knees and your healthy, active lifestyle!

    You are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing. You give me hope that I too will see a number on the scale soon that I haven't seen in a very long time. I am struggling with a mini plateau right now, and I really needed to hear this.

    Congrats on being so close, and you look wonderful. I'm glad the recovery from your knee surgery is going so much better than it was. Won't be long and you will be back in the pool! I, too, have followed your journey from the start, and have been so inspired by it. Alas, the inspiration in my heart hasn't quite made it to my head & stomach, but it is getting there, lol.
