Yes, I have bad knees and when my knees are at their worst, my Hip really has problems. I also have a friend who started suddenly having hip problems (with no other sypmptoms) and after MANY tests to diagnose discovered she had a bad knees and actually was already at a stage 4 and needed knee replacement.

Yeah for you!!!! Go for it!!! That is a great attitude. A lifestyle change involves slipups and sometimes daily! One meal and exercise at a time!!! Lots of great people to help motivate you as well!!!

Way to go Greg! I can relate to all of what you said. I found MFP at the end of July weighing in at 310, I too felt out of control and knew I needed to take control of my rollar coster life. Getting into the blogs on here really keeps me motivated when I'm not feeling it so much! I too am going for a goal of 175. So far,…

Great Job! Keep up the good work~!~ I wish you all the best!

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I've done the low carb and yes it works and very rewarding, but there is still alot of work in maintaining it. Be thoughtful of the plan you choose and not something that's just a quick fix. My personal experience was loosing 82 lbs in 5 months, I maintained it for 3, then…
