Maintaining, Strength Training & Toning Year

My name is Lynn. I live north of Pittsburgh. I've been married to my husband, Ray, for 27 years. We have 3 kids, Raymond, Kevin and Elyse, all in their 20's.

Time to update!
I still have MS, but I'm doing as well as I can. The early heat this year really got to me so I joined the YMCA so I can work out indoors during the hot months. (We don't have air conditioning.)

My DVT (blood clot from groin to ankle) and PE's (pulminary embolisms) are finally gone after ...

My DVT (blood clot from groin to ankle) and PE's (pulminary embolisms) are finally gone after 6 long months! No more compression stockings!

I'm down 70 pounds since I started. I'm proud to say, no diet, just lifestyle changes. And I love working out again! My sister is my "work out buddy." We have really been motivating each other. She's hooked on Sparkpeople now too! My family is really on board too.

My 26 year old son has totally joined me in living the Sparkpeople way! He's already lost 25 pounds!

Wish me luck staying relapse free and healthy!

Hi Lynn. I am not really sure yet how active the other MS teams are, I just joined them, and haven't yet had a chance to really read or post yet.

Hi Lynn! Just checking in to see how you are making out with the snow. It is deep here and cold! Did some shoveling for the dogs to get out to the yard .... and Hubby had to go over to the neighbors (about 1/2 mi walking - SHeeesh!!) to get her heater running. Other than that, though, power's on and not too bad.

How about you? Hope you are keeping warm !!!
