Thanks, all. I know it'll take time. I'm not just focusing on the scale or trying to "lose X by X point." I used to be really fit but never got back in shape after my 2nd pregnancy (I have three little kids). So I'm trying to make a lifestyle change, not merely go for a quick fix. We generally eat well, and I get some…

I see what they're doing, but no way can I lower myself and bring my knee up at the same time (and I'm doing the modified one on my knees). Mostly for me, this one is killing me…

Just started this today. Wow -- I was definitely going slower on that football running. I need to lose about 25 lbs & hoping this will help. Does anyone else have crepitus in their knees? (sounds like rice krispies when you bend them) Mine have no pain, but the *sound* drives me insane. Anyway, I'm going to do my best to…

Fantastic! And with 2 little boys to run around after, you probably have more stamina now, too! Congratulations on your wonderful progress.:happy:
