yup.. appearance is one thing re: extra weight but the real culprit is the issues of back, knee and hip problems. My cousin an orthopedic surgeon has mentioned to me that most of his patients that needed surgery could have avoided it by keeping their weight in a reasonable range over the years. The years of pressure of the three areas is pretty much irreversible.

Im 5’8” and have a size 8 shoe. Weight has been between 115-145 my whole life. The more sedentary times result in the higher range. Since my pups died I haven’t done as much physically. Most of that is psychological I know. Going out and doing the things w/o them has been really painful

RE: Trudeau. I am sure the DJT will treat him graciously and will be firm. He will also listen and hope to find some common ground to build on. I think the prime minister will be very sorry if he leaves DC and trashes DJT

Thank you! That information will help me keep on my diet and exercise plan. I knew all along I wasn’t doing my joints any good, but I was just too lazy. Now that I actually have knee pain now and then I am motivated. I just hope it’s not too late :-(

115 at 5’8”? Wow, that is skinny.

I hear you on the dogs. My 5 pound Yorky gets me out every day. He insists on it! Doing all the things that we do together without him would be extremely sad. And lonely! Have you thought about getting another dog?
