in Introduce Yourself
I joined in 2014 and used the program for a few weeks and then stopped.

Now I am back and keen to give it a go again.
I live in Pretoria, South Africa

    Welcome back! What are your ideas for sticking with it this time?

    There is no cartilage in both of my knees which is very painful when I walk. Life has become unbearable for me and I have considered taking it. I have decided to keep on living and my aim is to go for knee replacement operations.
    However the surgeon will not operate if weigh more than 100kg.
    I have lost 10.5kg in the 25 days since I started again with the program.
    This means I still have 15.9kg to lose until I reach 100kg
    If I can get down to 80kg, then maybe I will not need the operations

    I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with your knees to that degree. I sincerely hope the weight loss will help, if not to avoid surgery altogether, then to at least relieve some of the pain. Living with pain sucks. Weight loss helped me. May you have success, and a similar result.
