You can walk! I cannot. My knees are so bad I need knee replacements. I am also on medication for hypo-thyroidism. Yes, some do have it and it make losing weight even harder. Walking is great!!! We all get very discouraged at times and it's OKAY. Feel the depression, but not for too long. Do something that makes you feel…

Both my parents had them replaced and I have have had two Arthroscopys, a lateral release, many cortizone shots, and Synvisc Injections. I am still in pain and cannot walk more than ten minutes. I am afraid to make the leap to replacements. How did you…

I have found an underactive thyroid, even on medication, does make it a bit more difficult to lose weight, but not impossible -…

You can eat anything you want for breakfast. Who says you have to eat eggs, or cereal. Eat what you eat for lunch or dinner. There are no rules.

I am with you. Feel free to add me as a friend:)

Yes, but mostly because my knees hurt. Like your mother I have had two knee surgeries (I'm 61 years old). Both my parents had knee replacements. However, my knees hurt first, then came the weight, now it is just a vicious cycle. I had the knee lubrication last year which really helped for about six months. Cortisone shots…
