Yes. Walking combined with diet and strength training has worked for me, so far. I have lost 40 pounds and my medical lab results are all in the normal range. Try it....and don't give up if you do not make the 10K/day goal...just keep walking!

I went to "****s Sporting Goods" and the guy there put me on a treadmill and recording my stride. He learned that I have a problem with severe over pronation and recommended two or three shoes that would give me the support I new to run/walk without causing me pain. A free service and well worth my time. Any good running…

Asking your doc is the best advice. After my replacement 24 months ago my physical therapist recommended I start with the elliptical machine and avoid the treadmill. I took his advice and 40 lbs later am still in the gym doing anything I want. My knee and my doctor are happy!

Hey Ralph...count me in on your challenge.....I could use the motivation!!!

After my total knee replacement surgery my physical therapist suggested that I do not use the treadmill at the gym, but rather stick with the elliptical.

Hi there, my name is Bob and I understand the problems with consistent dieting, exercise etc. MFP is the only site I have found that really helps me stay on target. Please feel free to friend me!

I am new here and joined on the suggestion of my physical therapist following total knee replacement. In the three weeks I have been a member I have lost 5 lbs. Better than any other weight loss helper I have tried. I have also joined a gym and have been going three times a week and I work with a trainer. All in all it is…
