Week 17 and still going

Week seventeen this morning, and down 2.2 pounds from last Tuesday to 219.8!
Yay!

I've noticed for the last two weeks that my knees and feet don't hurt anymore. Of course, I've lightened up a bit on yard work because of the cool and wind, but still it's a joy to not hurt all the time. My MIL asked if I thought the loss of weight helped with the arthritis pain and I told her I think it does.

My next mini-milestone is to get to less than 20 pounds to goal. Maybe next week!

Interesting article, Bev, maybe there's hope that I can get back onto my exercycle. I just may give it a try this week, see what happens.

good job Dewolla!

Congratulations on your continued progress, Dewolla!

I believe that weight loss significantly helped my joints. If not, the improved mobility and reduction in pain as I lost weight were quite a coincidence

Sounds like you are doing great, Dewolla. What kind of diet are you on.

I just want to point out that you have actually just passed a MAJOR mileston
- one that I am looking forward to myself sometime.

219.8 lb is 99.9 kg. That means you have passed under 100 kg and are now into two digits! Congratulations!

Any loss is a good thing in my book. Congratulations and good luck!

I don't have arthritis in my knees but my mother suffered with it for years. She always said the knees felt much better after she lost a few pounds. My arthritis is in the neck and shoulder area. I think it's a result of spending years at a computer terminal. Exercise seems to help mine.
