I know I say this to everyone but if have access to a pool.. YMCA, indoor pool etc. well that would be such a boost. Deep water jogging will be a great way to have no impact while you burn a load of calories, great for your knee. You're doing great so focus on that!

Read Judith Beck, PhdD' The BECK Diet Solution" and learn to give yourself credit. You probably have Insulin Resistanc/Metabolic Syndrome. Read "WHY WE GET FAT AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT" by Gary Taubes. It has helped me.

So, i follow my food plan AND( said no to ice cream and cake at work, and late night pizza with my husband) exercised more(walk 2 miles everyday plus an hour excercise class, did my walk on that day when i didnt feel like it, drink my water and i get on the scale this morning and lose a 1/2 lb. what's with that, my calories burned have always been more than calories in. Post menopausal, no periods to blame. I started at 314 on 1/1 and have had consistent weight loss but my goal is 2lbs a week(which i dont think is unrealistic for someone my size) and today 299.5. I was excited that i would be breaking into the 200s this week, but by 1/2 pd,just saddens me. Sorry i am having a pity party for myself. Plus my knee hurts today.
