I am the Phoenix arising. See the pretty plumage?


I have made getting healthier a priority for the past few years. I have already lost a lot of weight (150 pounds) but a knee injury last year has left me with needing a knee replacement. However, in order to have my surgery, I need to lose weight. I have tried everything except weight loss surgery and I refuse to do that. Then, I found Ideal Protein and I LOVE it.

My goals .
1. Continue Ideal Protein
2. Drink 64 oz. of water per day
3. Track my food.

    Welcome to the team. Spark people is a fun place to hang out and for me it make me accountable for what I eat and doing my daily exercise.

    I would like to add you as my friend.

    Have a great day.

    I consulted with my doc yesterday and he thought my idea for water exercise was a good one. We are also setting up a second opinion on my knee. It is so wise to have a "Practice what we preach" forum. I am so good at giving advice and not so good at following my own. emoticon
