i did it and i have to share with my LBT friends

most of you know that my knees hurt so bad and that my legs were not strong and it made walking

(any distance) difficult if not impossible. i stopped going to stores or anywhere with my hub

because i just couldnt...i was in that bad of a situation

so june 6 was my saving grace day

and little by little, as the weight came off, and inches (went to wherever elvis is)

i was able to start walking.....

so tonight, i asked hub to go for a walk with me and i walked a block and a half

it may not be alot or much right now, but its a start...

i want to be able to push my granddaughter around the block in her stroller.

and i will do that..

thanks for reading if you did.

Congrats! Celebrate every victory!!

congratulations! It is only going to get better from now on!

I'm so happy for you!!! I understand completely what walking was like for you.

You are my inspiration!

LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE!!!!

Awesome! That's what it's all about being here for the people we love and the people that love us

Keep it up! The one thousand mile trip starts with a step

Awesome, so inspiring!

WAY TO GO !!! you have to start somewhere ! you'll get stronger every week and before you know it you'll be walking a block and a half with out even thinking about it. 10 months a go when i was banded i weighed 225 lbs, so i started swimming 3x a week and walking 1x a week. i kept it up, got stronger, lost 57 lbs (so far !) and strted with a running group this week . ( ran 2 miles today !!) you can do this ! one day at a time ! good luck !

Every step is a good step. I also have bad knees and weighted 291 pounds. Walking 1 mile was a chore. 2 months later, I am walking 3 miles without difficulty.

One step at a time and before you know it you will be running after your granddaughter! Keep up the great work.

Congratulations!!

And that is exactly how you'll get stronger. When I was banded, I needed a handicapped parking pass just to make it to the front of a store. Once inside I needed a motorized shopping cart to get around. Now, I am walking about 2 miles a day with ease. I am able to take my son to the zoo and chaperon my daughter's band festivals.

When I first started walking I think I went about a block, maybe less. Over time I just gradually pushed myself little by little until finally it was no longer a painful battle but a true enjoyment.

You're totally rocking this

AWESOME !! All it takes is one step at a time ! You got this !! Congrats on your progress !

This is amazing. Congratulations. Every day is a victory!
