Looking for support

Options
I've constantly struggled with my weight and I am currently the heaviest I've been in my life. I'm 27 years old and weigh 190 lbs. I feel lost and unsure where to start. Due to my knee issues I've struggled doing a lot of cardio as I get tired and the pain gets worse. I'm worried....will this ever happen?

I wouldn't say my eating habits are terrible but I have little to non consistent exercise in my life. I have access to a gym which I don't go to because my endurance is so low I am embarrassed....

I'm stuck.

    You can friend me if you want. I don't mind helping out. I helped my mom lose 40lbs! (Now shes about your weight). Honestly, just by using this app you'll change your eating habits. :) good luck!

    i was stuck with 170lbs for three years and have tried everything. If you really want to loos weight look into the venus index. It's saved my life and i've lost 10 pounds so far. It's not difficult at all and its about counting calories and eating less a few days and then eating your calorie maintenance another day. Check it out...really!

Dispite this i work thru the pain most days and am reasonably good with motivating myself exercise wise but i struggle with the food bit esp at weekends :( i no this is just habbit or boredem but cant seem 2 shake it. back in may i managed 2 shift 6lbs b4 holiday but when i returned i was hit with sciatica unabling me to exercise 4 a while so the weight has crept back on adding a couple of pounds :( i am almost back to 'normal'exercise wise but i could do with some support also please so if people r intrested in kickin my butt when times are hard please add me. The support would be very much appreciated. Thank you :)
