Hi, everyone. My name is Brandi. I'm 26 years old and am going to marry my best friend in the world, David. I had lost 40lb, was 7lbs away from my goal, and a few personal issues came about...
I went from walking 4 miles a day, 6 times a week and up/down 14 flights of stairs 2 times a week to nothing and gaining all my weight (and then some) back.

Hi, everyone. My name is Brandi. I'm 26 years old and am going to marry my best friend in the world, David. I had lost 40lb, was 7lbs away from my goal, and a few personal issues came about...
I went from walking 4 miles a day, 6 times a week and up/down 14 flights of stairs 2 times a week to nothing and gaining all my weight (and then some) back.
I have recently been diagnosed with patellar tracking disorder that does not allow me to do many stairs or run at all. Therefore, I am forced to walk, bike, weight training, cardio and use the elliptical which allows me many options.
After missing my last goal, I want to get it straight this time. My wonderful fiance has lost a lot of weight as well and has run two half marathons and a triatholon. He has another one in February and it running the Ironman 70.3 in October. I can't do what he does but I at least want to be able to join him in being active. I want to be healthy with him. :-)
My goal is to be at my ideal weight 3 months before our wedding day; August 15, 2009. We have already made a pact that I will NOT get married unless I meet this goal. That means some pretty pissed off guests if I don't. So, I have a lot of motivation now and can use even more!

I'm excited to have someone else to give/receive support and encouragement. You're right, we CAN do this!!!
Yesterday was the first time walking with my patellar taping and it SUCKED. I hurt so bad learning to kinda rewalk. I went from walking faster with 40 out of 49 in my zone to yesterday walking 41 minutes with only 20 minutes in my zone. I tried to speed up but the pain was just to much. Basically, I used to walk with my left leg crooked all of my life and now they did the taping to build my muscles in my knees and my left leg is straighter.
