"Dear Rosie & Sheri

I saw a person in the neighborhood pole walking before Christmas, and I was fascinated by the precision, the rhythm, it just seemed beautiful to me. Being morbidly obese with balance issues as well as low self esteem, I was intrigued by the movement of the pole walking.

I soon began pole walking every day. It is my calm in a stormy existence. I love these walking poles, and am proud to say I am wearing the feet down! It has lifted my depression markedly, and I started weight watchers two weeks ago (I have another weigh-in tomorrow), and lost 7.8 pounds my first week. I don't feel afraid to move any more, afraid of falling (which any obese people do), and I can say in all honesty this is saving my life, and my spirit which I thought was broken when I was dealing with the leg ulcers.

I definitely am looking to be an affiliate and to train when I become more fit - this way of walking has done wonders for my depression, my leg ulcer and my weight. God Bless you, I am so touched, I am working at making sure my pole length and my arms are in correct position.

God Bless you! "
