27 pounds lost..heel spur can't keep me down...

I have lost 27 pounds so far..but I really want to lose at least 20 more..My biggest obstacle has been a very painful heel spur that burns like it is on fire when I do big calorie burning workouts...I have started some aqua classes and really like those and I am going to continue to do hard workouts until I just can't go anymore. My doctor wanted to do surgery last month, but I talked her into letting me go until the end of summer to try to lose a few more..I just hope I can stay motivated enough to do so. I am scared of not being able to work out for 2-3 months after my surgery. Below pic is my success so far (taken in same shirt, Nov, Jan, March, and June). I started working out on November 7 at 199.8 and now I am between 173 and 171..depending on what I eat/workout..Trying to get into the 160s by the end of June!

Thank-you! It definitely isn't easy and I am trying to be careful with the foot..that is why I have started water classes..I am really not sure what you burn with them since I can't wear a calorie counter in the watch, but both the shallow and deep water were pretty challenging.0

Hi, I began working out but now have heel spurs, what does your routine look like, to help minimize the pain? I have to loose 50 pounds in about 6 months!!!! I am getting married in May 2013 but walking even hurts. My job requires me to be on my feet and by the time I get home I can barely walk? Any suggestions would be awesome. I was an athlete and this extra wiehgt and pain is friving me nuts! I saw your progress and instantly became inspired and new that this was do able. Thanks in advance.0
