I’ve lost 80lbs over the past 11 months, mostly by walking and CICO. I was pretty disabled to start, I have a genetic connective tissue disorder and severe osteoarthritis. At first, a mile was about as far as I could walk before pain stopped me. Luckily I live in a place with great options for swimming, so weather permitting I go swimming in one of our nearby lakes and get pain-free exercise that way.
After I hit my initial weight goal (200 lbs) I decided not to make a new weight loss goal and instead make a fitness related goal while maintaining my weight loss. My goal is to walk a half marathon, and I signed up for one in august. I’ve been training, and today was the longest day yet. I feel proud of myself - there’s no way I could have walked 8 miles a year ago without a gun to my head.
Pretty pooped, though, not gonna lie.
