I haven't tried to rollerblade (YET!) but a couple of weeks ago I

went to a roller skating rink, rented a pair of rollerskates and had

a great time. That was one of the things I've been dreaming to do.

I lost about 100 lbs and boy what a difference it makes - I am a new

person. Let's all have as much fun as we can - we deserve it!!!!

Happy skating, dancing, walking, running, swimming, or whatever..

Rollerblading is great!! It is so much fun and really easy to learn!

If you roller skated as a kid you will pick it up in 10 minutes! Go

for it! I have 3 pair of rollerblades at home. Be aware that at first

your feet will HURT and then after that your ankles will really

really HURT until you build up strength in them. Don't give up it is

really worth it. I bought regular skates from Target and they held up

just fine (I weighed about 270ish and lost down to 250ish) make sure

you get the appropriate pads/ helment when you first start out - it

is reasonably easy to fall make sure you get wrist guards too. Don't

panic you don't have to wear full body armor just protect what is

dear (head, wrists, elbows and knees). Best of luck to you! Let us

know how it goes!!! I can't wait to get back out rollerblading!! \

Sincerely,

Latour

,

In my youth I was a skinny kid who had trophies for speed skating (ice

skating). I was much better at that than at roller skating and I have

never been on roller blades although the concept of the " blade " seems

closer to ice skating than roller skating does. I'm 52 and a fall

would probably mean a year or two in traction...I do think our planned

" roller Blade Tournament " should be a post op event, don't you??!!!
