Hi Gang!

I just read another interesting Fact.

Did you know that for every pound you are over weight you put 4 pounds of pressure on your knees?

that means my knees are carrying 276 pounds more than they should.

Just another reason to stick with this plan

great fact. and super important point

Thanks. I guess patience is the key. I am going to keep all my exercise low impact and my joints and Knees intact.

Knees surgeries are at an all time high.

Doesn't that sound like fun NOT!

thanks for sharing! that is really interesting

Yeah I think i read that too. I also read that the surgeries were not needed on most patients. They just need to loose weight.

That means we are all doing our part to save our knees.

PS-My mom had this surgery and the scars are not pretty.

Even with my modest 16-lb. loss so far, I can feel the difference. My knees used to hurt all the time. What a relief!
