  • Reason #1. To live a life free from pain. Back pain, joint pain, weak knees, aches in my feet and ankles often keep me from enjoying my life to the fullest. I feel old and sluggish. The pain gives me just another excuse to stay on the couch. But today I choose to face the pain, to rise above it, to work to alleviate the…
  • I am new to MFP but not new to trying to lose weight. I’ve struggled with obesity since my teens, yo yo-ing up & down. I’m not approaching my 40’s and am tired of living my life in pain.
