    Hey I love Jullian Michael's workouts...the 30 day shred is tough but well worth it. I did the 1st week and getting ready for the 2nd week. The beauty of it is the work out is quick but a great workout.:smile:

    Hi there,

    Please feel free to add me. I lost 100+, regained some, and am back losing those last 30 pounds again.

    I really struggled with knee pain (felt like broken glass in there when I went up stairs) and ankle pain when I was at my heaviest. It's awesome you're working on getting healthier and losing some weight. That made the biggest difference for me in terms of how my body felt.

    And I'd second the shoes and the balance exercises to strengthen the ankles. I've been working on stability for the past two months and feel so solid now. (I'm someone who used to just randomly trip and lose my balance.)

    I feel the broken glass thing. I had a trainer for a day and she cringed overtime my knees moved. I said "this is why I let myself get this way!!"

    Hello! That is a very good goal, and a great idea. FB is starting to become a problem for me and my Hubby, so I really want to delete it...but I sell Herbalife and thats where a few of my good sales come from. I have had it for 7 years, and its like i am scared to just get rid of it or something. But he is def right...its becoming more stress than helpful. Maybe I will try doing the same as you :) feel free to add me! My goal is 70 pounds, 40 by New Years.

    you do want to do the swimming thing, though, you can try fast running in water...the water against your legs will tone them up...I do this in our 5 ft pool water running races with my kids...and also just simple water aerobics. I also have panic attacks when i go under water too long like trying to do hand stands. one day i want to master it maybe next summer. I do leg work in the pool with my kids although I havent stuck to it everyday. I would probably be down more. I don't have a knee injury, but i do have a heel/foot injury. dr says its from not enough support to the heel and it hurts to put it on the floor. so being in the pool helps soothe it, even if its not swimming. i bet it would help your knee too

    I have similar goals and have been looking to add to my friends list! Have you tried rowing? I recently purchased a Concept2 for my home gym and it's my absolute favorite form of cardio! Not harsh on the knees at all, and it really gets every muscle involved. Good luck :)

    I really need to try rowing. I just love my elliptical sooo much ahhaha

    At some point you may need to mix it up. I love both as low-impact exercising tools.

    I was 209 lbs 25 months ago. I started doing just dance on my wii and lost 17lbs in the first 3 months. I could not even kneel on the floor it hurt my knees so badly(had bad knees since I was a kid and I got a lot of exercise then too). Then I started with the videos(jillian,bob harper,etc) and went from there,then I started weight lifting. Before all that I used to walk a lot but it wasnt doing anything for me or my weight.I lost 33 lbs and gained about half that back 8 months ago but I am losing it again. My knees are A LOT better now though.

    You can add me if you like. I just started and have only a couple friends. Actually this is the first time I have tried using a online support system I don't even use Facebook (I am computer phobic). Really hoping having others going through the same system helps. I would love to try jogging but am afraid to try until I lose some weight not sure if there is a cut off on when someone is to heavy to run but I am enjoying zumba:smile:
