aches and pains while losing weight?
I have lost weight - about 40 pounds in under a year. 300 to 260.
While I do not get out of breath anymore (almost never, and I used to, constantly) I have noticed that body parts that never hurt before are starting to - my thigh/butt and now my back when I do things like mow the lawn- this did not happen at my higher weight.
I am wondering if I am overdoing it because I can now do so much more? Or if those things always hurt, but I just did not notice it as I was too wrapped up in the being out of breath? I also suppose it is possible I have lost muscle, although I am and have always been moderately active and I have lost weight very slowly.
On the plus side - I no longer have knee pain, I no longer have weak ankles, and my stamina is great!
Have any of you experienced new aches and pains as you lost weight, and what do you think was the cause?
