    Be uncommon - what an incredible achievement. You should be so so proud of yourself. Am so sorry for the lost of your Dad. I lost mine nearly four months ago and the saying that you quoted on your post resounded with me. You have really inspired me to try and lose weight.
    Wishing you more continued success and sending you lots of virtual high fives. x

    So sorry to hear of your dad's passing ((hugs))

    I'm very sorry about your dad. I lost my mum a couple of years ago so I know the unique pain that comes with losing a parent.

    You are such an inspiration. Keep it up, you're doing amazingly.

    Just thinking about your knee - is it possible to do the same amount of exercise but low impact? Eg. swimming, or using a rowing machine? Most gyms offer a free trial so you could test out a rower to see how your knee goes? I would also suggest an exercise bike but I hate them personally as they hurt my bum!

    If none of those are options maybe some hiking sticks for support?

    Thank you x once we are out of lockdown I will definitely do some other exercise with my walking x sry to hear of your mom's passing x

    Way to go! great job.I have been on this journey for a while and lost 65 lbs, still a few more to go. I find my fitness pal is the only way I can lose weight and stay on track. I measure everything and write down everything that goes into my mouth. You must feel so great and proud of yourself.

    Mind if I give you a tip about the knees? I have the same issue, but the more I strengthened my thighs through specific thigh exercises the more pressure it took off my knees. I also find that curcumin and green tea are both great anti-inflammatories. I know only continued success for you as you move into the future!

    Thank you. My knee is bone on bone and unfortunately the only thing that will help that is surgery but thank you so much xx
