Also I forgot to mention to try swimming and low impact EXERCISES to go easy on your knees and ankles. Eat in moderation, drink lots of water. Even small changes make a big difference if you stay consistent. For me it is easy to exercise. The hardest part for me has always been to discipline my eating habits. I got tired of looking at myself in the mirror and feeling bad or disgusted…ashamed to take pictures. Most of all…STAY AROUND POSITIVE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT YOU. Believe me, it makes a difference. Negative people only bring you down. Even if its a relative or close friend. If you are doing this for you and it is a good thing, real people who love you will cheer you on. I will be your supporter!

I am overweight and my knees were hurting really bad esp the left due to a torn ligament. I just started drinking Morinda Tahitian Noni juice and I have lots of energy and my knees don’t hurt since taking the juice. Now I started exercising and weight training and bit by bit I am seeing small results in my energy levels. I just started so I pray in 6 to 8 weeks I see more results. Before you consider surgery..try to do exercise you like that is fun. I am praying for you sister! You can do it. Talk to your doctor and research others like you who have been successful.
