78 pounds down

Just wanted to share my success so far. Still have some weight to lose but I am down 78 pounds so far. I have severe arthritis in my left knee and my right ankle so my current exercise is swimming a mile every day before work. It is a huge commitment to get up at 4:15am every day but it is paying off.

    Congrats on the weight loss! My first big goal is about what you have accomplished. So I appreciate you sharing with us!


    That first picture reminds me of a trip I went on when I was in the northwest (I traveled Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota). Was that at a national park or something like that?

    The picture was taken up at Amboy Washington we were bungee jumping.
