    Did You Know???!!!

    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

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

            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!
