Just being 10 lbs. overweight, adds 70 lbs. of stress to the knees. WOW

Re: Saw This On The Today show
My mum had to have a knee replacement surgery because she had worn away all the cartilage in her knees. And she's only about 40 lbs overweight. (5'9" and about 220). And here I am about 60 pounds overweight. Scary!Aoife - 18, Female, 1.69 metres (5'6.5")

Re: Saw This On The Today show
When I was 150 pounds overweight, I figured out how much extra stress I was putting on my knees, and it was really scary.People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
