2 Surgeries and all, I got the cast off from the ankle surgery yesterday and was able to slip my walking boot off this morning and weigh myself. I have lost 36 pounds since July 10. 2 more pounds and I am halfway to my goal. Have lost 4 inches from my waist, and went from XXXL shirts to XXL. When I get these foot casts and walking boots behind me, I can get serious about PT. Although walking 200 yards on crutches I am finding is pretty good upper body work.
