Hi, Everyone!!! I hope all of you are sharing in this beautiful sunshine today. We, in Ohio, are totally ready to be done with SNOW!

Today I had an amazing experience. Over the past two years I have had both of my knees replaced. Thanks to my new knees AND the Medifast program AND all of the support that comes from great people like ya'll who regularly visit here, I have lost 20# at last count and was able to actually take a long walk today with my husband. We took the dogs and actually went on a trail. He said that we walked a mile! Less than a year ago I would have had to take a wheel chair just to go shopping. I guess losing nearly "two bowling balls" of weight makes a BIG difference!

I have never been on a walking or exercise program, but guess it might be time for me to consider it. I'm sleeping better and even my husband has been good about making healthy food choices

Maybe some of you can relate to the prison that obesity puts you in. I am 56 yrs. old and started out at 284#. If 20# can make such a difference, I cannot even imagine what it will feel like to be 50# and then 100# lighter. The prison doors are open!

Hey LessofMe - I am so touched by this post. A prison of obesity is such a remarkable way to put the struggles we go through. God Bless you for making these choices in your life! Thank you for being an inspiration and role model for all who want to walk hand in hand w/ their hubby and dogs.

Happy weekend to you!

LessofMe-

I can relate so much to what you are saying. I am down 21 pounds and feel terrific even though I have 130 to go!

I am so HAPPY for you! Keep up the good work.
