Re: unexpected result

losing one pound of weight takes 4 pounds of pressure off your knees. GOOD JOB!

Re: unexpected result

Congratulations!
Me, I used to weight 100-110lbs for my entire adult life until 6 years ago.
Then, because of a giant change in my life (I got married and I had to adjust to a married woman's life + I came to live in Canada - I'm from Europe - so, I started to eat burgers and fries), in just a year I reached 160lbs! Then, in the next 5 following years I grew and I grew until I got to 214lbs! So, I grew from a 100-110 to a lovely 200-210 in a very short time. My feet were the first to ring a bell as I started to put weight. They got painfull. It started to be difficult to stand, and I can no longer wear high heels. So, it's very normal, I guess, that your legs get all the pain in the world as we overcharge them.

I don't understand the formula. Can you, please, be more explicit?

Re: unexpected result

That factoid is from a study done on osteoarthritis of the knee (link here).

Re: unexpected result

10 pounds is awesome. It's a loss and that is the goal here correct?? Stay focused and stay true. God Bless, Joe

Re: unexpected result

Keeping running up those stairs and you'll reach goal in no time! Be cautious though. Best of luck!
