In September 2004, I found Judy and Paul while reading a small article in the MS Newsletter.  I thought this sounds like something I could do and really benefit in the process.  When I started working with Judy, we set two very simple, basic goals - to increase my stamina and to work on balance.  I remember jokingly telling her that if I lost some weight in the process, that would be a pleasant added benefit.   Although MS had slowed me down, I was still fairly active, but was becoming more and more frustrated by my physical limitations.  I realized that I had reached a point where I really needed to do something to stay as active as I had been - I took the use it or lose it approach.  The last six month have been short of amazing.  Since I have always tried to stay active, Judy was able to take me further, faster then we first thought.  I have regained much of my lost flexibility, can stay on the go much longer and the best part is I have actually lost about 3 dress sizes in the last six months.  Not bad for a 63 year old grandmother.  I can almost keep up with my teenage granddaughters when we have a day at the Mall.
