Several years ago I made the decision to join WW and was very successful. I achieved lifetime status and kept the weight off for a few years until Jim and I started trying to conceive, in the year it took us to conceive Elizabeth I managed to gain all the weight back plus some. Fortunately during my pregnancy I did not gain much weight and have lost about half of it. Also, when I was 20 weeks pregnancy I fell and "blew out" my knee. Since I was pregnant nothing could or would be done to diagnose or treat the knee. In December, just two months have having Elizabeth I had surgery to repair a badly torn meniscus.
I returned to school in January and discovered that working full time and being a full time mom left no time for exercise to lose the pounds or get my knee back into shape. Alas, summer has arrived I'm doing much better. I'm watching what I eat and walking about 4 days per week (my goal). Since I'll never run again and cannot have impact on my knee walking is the best thing for me. I'm starting to notice changes in my body and very happy for that, although the scale is not showing that progress.
I have to remember that I did not gain it over night and I will not lose it overnight. I have 60 lbs to lose one pound at a time!
I look forward to posting weekly and finding support from everyone as we tackle this battle together!
