Hello, I've just started using MFP about eight weeks ago. I've lost 22lbs in the last seven weeks and have about 78 more to go. I'm scheduled for knee replacement in June and would like to lose at least 15 more by then. It's been a struggle with two bad knees. One failed surgery and 6 months of therapy. I started swimming again and it's really helped. I'm a 46 year old mother of three who wants to get fit for myself as well as my children.

    Hello!
    I can very much relate to your post! I'm a 29 year old mummy of 3 and broke my leg 2 years ago. I'm waiting on surgery to get the plate and screws removed as it's causing so much pain! I have about 50lbs left to lose, I've slowly lost about 2 1/2 stone but trying to pick up the pace abit with the warmer weather coming in! Where abouts are you? I'm in Newcastle, England.
    Good luck to you xx

    I'm in Maryland. It's hard to lose weight when you have problems with your knees/legs. I can only swim. It's a good thing I like swimming I guess. How old are your children?
