Kelly - I never thought I would be a chubby grandma either. I don't know if you experience this but weight hurts! It hurts to sit cross legged on the floor with my grandson. MS plus extra weight makes it harder to get up off the floor. I did have a hysterectomy and my ovaries removed and I knew that putting on a few pounds may happen. But this, this is not a few pounds.

Bd - Have you had your hormones checked? I don't know how old you are but it might be worth getting them checked.

I've been trying to work on my leg strength but it is a slow process. I am exercising more than I have in a long time. I walk in my apartment now but will be heading outside for walks when it cools down. I walk anywhere from 1 to 3 miles a day. I added in jogging in place for 30 seconds or so for every 5 minutes I walk. Side note but somewhat related - My girls have gotten huge! It's like I hit puberty at 52. I swear I put on 10 pounds just in that area alone. I have to wear a good support bra when I do jogging in place intervals.

If I find the magic bullet, I will let you all know.
