Nice to meet you kittylover. I hope that you are accepted and everything goes smoothly.

Awww the bondgirls are really growing, they are so cute. You girls are look good. Keep up the great work.

Just what I expected to you, knowing that is not what I need. You know that is not what motivates me. You just kicking a poor gil while she is down. You know that is just going to drive me to some candy, now why would you want to do that. I need consoling, not a kick for real, but of course you would do it. I forgive you you because that is you. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah:think

You are an awesome lady, I am sorry you are dealing with all these issues. Great journaling and thank you for sharing it. Keep on smiling

Oh great, she can walk with you after surgery. Be sure to let her know you have to walk often.

Awwww I hope you got some good sleep. We all go through panic attacks about the surgery. We really don't know what the outcome is going to be. We pray for good results but sometimes people have serious complications or die. You have to weigh your options and only you can make the finally decission.

Jodi I am sorry to hear about all that you are going through but you have lost weight and that is a great accomplishment in it self. Keep moving forward and let nothing stop you. As others have said Water is vital to your weight loss. If you are not have a medical condition water and exercise can help you get those last 55 pounds off. Push real hard to get your 8 cups of water in a day and here is some info I found on the web for helping bad knees. Good luck dear, you can do this!!!! What exercises tend to be easier on the knees? Swimming, except for butterfly stroke, is fairly easy on the knees. Walking is excellent because you don't have high impact. Jogging isn't bad if the person hasn't had an injury. Bicycling is not that bad on the knees. Any activity where there's a reduced impact or you don't have to worry about changing motion. Best and Worst Exercises for Bad Knees Sidestep injury by perfecting your form by Michele Stanten Exercise may be the best medicine for chronic achy knees. "Strengthening the muscles around the joint protects you from injury by decreasing stress on the knee," says Willibald Nagler, MD, chairman of rehabilitation medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Cornell Campus in New York City. But you must use good form and technique. The First Commandment Never bend your legs to a point where your knees stick out past your toes. That puts a lot of pressure under the kneecap. This not only applies to the following exercises but also when you're stretching or doing aerobic activities such as step aerobics. Except where stated, do 10 to 12 repetitions of each of the following, two or three times a week. Best Exercises to Do Partial Squats Stand about 12 inches away from the front of a chair with your feet about hip width apart and your toes forward. Bending at the hips, slowly lower yourself halfway down to the chair. Keep your abs tight, and check that your knees stay behind your toes. Stepups Using an aerobic step bench or a staircase, step up onto the step with your right foot. Tap your left foot on the top of the step, and then lower. As you step up, your knee should be directly over your ankle. Repeat with your left foot. Side-lying Leg Lifts Wearing ankle weights above the knee, lie on your left side, legs straight and together, with your left arm supporting your head. Keeping your right foot flexed and your body straight, slowly lift your right leg to about shoulder height, then slowly lower. Repeat with your left leg. Inner-thigh Leg Lifts Wearing ankle weights above the knee, lie on your left side, slightly back on your butt. Bend your right leg and place it behind your left leg with your right foot flat on the floor and your left leg straight. Support your head with your left arm. Slowly lift your left leg about 3 to 5 inches, then lower. Repeat with your right leg. Calf Raises Using a chair or wall for balance, stand with your feet about hip width apart, toes straight ahead. Slowly lift your heels off the floor, rising up onto your toes. Hold, then slowly lower. Straight-leg Raises Sit with your back against a wall, left leg straight and right leg bent with your foot flat on the floor. Slowly raise your left leg straight up about 12 inches off the floor. Hold, then slowly lower. Repeat with your right leg. Short-arc Knee Extensions In the same starting position as the straight-leg raises, put a ball (about the size of a basketball) under your left knee so that your leg is bent. Slowly straighten your leg. Hold, then slowly lower. Repeat with your right leg. Hamstring Stretch Lie on your back with your left leg flat on the floor. Loop a towel or rope around your right foot and pull your leg as far as comfortable toward your chest, while keeping a slight bend at the knee. Keep your back pressed to the floor throughout the stretch. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds and then release. Repeat three or four times with each leg. Do this stretch five or six times a week. Worst Exercises--Avoid These A few of the following exercises can be done safely if you have chronic knee problems; they're on this list because they're more likely to be done improperly. The exercises above are safer, while still giving you similar results. Full-arc knee extensions Lunges Deep squats Hurdler's stretches

I applaud you for being so bold. Pictures are a great way to see your progress. Good Luck

You go gunn4ya, you are on fire. Tssssssss I will get a bike when my butt gets smaller.

Leona 5 years my butt. You will see TOM before then. Congrats on getting back down to your 250 .....Yeahhhhh

No walk on Saturday because I had to pick a friend up from Dulles airport. The plane was late, of course but I did play in the terminal. Walking face and walking face on the moving walkways. I ran down the escalator. LOL I did 3.5 Sunday and that was about it for intentional exercise. Today I hope to get in at least 3 plus Take The Challenge exercise. I have 11.5 to go.
