  • This one made my day. Realizing my laptop can actually sit in my lap... Hey, wait a second! I have a lap now!
  • 101 lbs down from 350. Energy levels came back to me over time but once I got rid of sugary cravings I found myself feeling perked up by getting out, or staying in and sweating. Cleaning. OMG cleaning. It became my favorite workout because lets face it... At 350, my house was not up to par.. Socially, waay more energy…
  • I like the pool and bike suggestions, as I have terrible knees. Many years carrying 300-350 lbs causes pain and crunchy sounds whenever Im walking up and down stairs. Im down to 245 now and trying to increase my activity however I can. My laundry room is in my basement and this causes an issue because I have to do the…
