Here we go again

In 2012 I had some life-changing events happen. I have gained back all the weight that I lost plus. I am not happy now but I remember how happy I was when I was strong. One of the life changing events caused me to have arthritis in both of my knees. I also have arthritis in my right shoulder and my right hip. I know that losing weight would help this immensely. Sometimes I have dreams that I try to stand up and I can't because my knees are too weak. So I have joined a 12-week weight loss challenge that starts today May 1st 2017. Here are my before pictures.
