A new study shows that for each pound of body weight lost, there is a 4-pound reduction in knee joint stress among overweight and obese people with osteoarthritis of the knee.

   Sounds great, but..
 that also means that for each pound of body weight you carry, there is four pounds of xtra stress on the knees  . Be careful with the exercise you choose. If choosing jumping, running, or high impact exercise, you can eat through your knee cartiliage like it's candy.

YAY I lost already!

I am so jazzed. I went back to the doctors today and found that I have lost three pounds in the last four days. I think it is absolutely wonderful!
I've gained and lost weight so often in my life, that I understand fully that this will not like be the usual scenario for me. It is a great way to start though. There is nothing worse or more discouraging than dieting and struggling to stick to a plan, only to have no loss or..grrrr gain!
Right now I feel MOTIVATED!
Thanks to everyone here that I have already met with and chatted with, who has already proven to bea  great support system for me Thanks to WLB too. I really believe that as long as I am committed to posting on here and to reading everyone elses posts, that I have a fighting chance to lose this (again...!!).
Another good day with keeping within my calories. I spent 1260 of my 1500 today and ate like a pig. I wish I could afford to eat shrimp everyday ( 4oz is only 80 cals). Shrimp, low cal dressing,  chips ahoy cookies, 6 oz milk, and 1/2 c.fettucine was what was consumed.
Don't get discouraged out there, if I can do this, anyone can!
