One of the amazing benefits of losing weight has been the reduction in aches and pains. Of course, I’ve had the occasional injury from being over zealous in a workout, but overall, the amount of discomfort in my joints, muscles, and everything else has greatly diminished.
I spent so much time being miserable for so long, that I had become numb to how bad the pain was. It wasn’t until I started to lessen that I realized the extent of pressure my excess weight was putting on my joints.
I have read studies that show that every 5lbs. we weigh puts 20lbs of pressure on our knees. That means that once I had lost 100lbs, I had taken 400lbs of pressure off my knees. No wonder I felt so much better!
How about you, are you ready for less aches aches & pains? Can you tell a change already?
