Default My Progress Pics :)
Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my most recent progress pics. The pic on the left was taken 3/17/11 and the one on the right was taken 10/13/11.

I have struggled with my weight, well...forever. I have finally made the lifestyle changes (good nutrition and working out regularly) that work for me. I am 41 years old and feel fantastic!!! Two years ago, I was facing a total knee replacement. Sure, someday I may still need knee surgery (although...my knee pain has all but disappeared at this point), but I will be SO much better prepared for the recovery from that surgery. My point is...it is NEVER too late. You can do it. Don't ever give up. Keep at it.

I am SOOOO inspired. Our numbers are almost identical (except for the current weight) and I'm even from NY I am 6-months into my journey and looking at my 39th birthday shortly. This just let's me know that it is possible. CONGRATS......

That is great to read that the pain in your knee is almost completely gone and that you don't have to have surgery now!

Hi, MJ. I read some of your posts in the other thread and love your positive attitude. Is the March picture your highest weight? It's amazing that you've lost so much weight, but I can't even imagine doing it in just 7 months.

I had knee problems in the past, too. Not to the point of needing a replacement, but the summer of '10 was difficult. I also have no problems since I lost weight. I'm 60, so no one can say that age is a huge factor in this process. There are lots of us in here over 40 that are doing just fine.

You look absolutely fantastic - certainly like a younger version of yourself as others have pointed out. So close to goal, too. Keep it up.

Lin
