Hi everyone, I decided I needed to lose some weight as I was starting to feel a little sluggish, I weigh 228 lbs at 5'10". I have gone from 5 cans of coke to 1 in the evening, starting tracking my calories and made a 500 calorie deficit, I have also been going to the YMCA for about an hour a day and started jogging, I would warm up by walking .2 mile and then jog 1 mile @ 6mph and then walk about .2 mile, after a couple of days my knees started to hurt, so I switched to rowing, started at just 1 mile and on Sat. had worked up to about 4 miles, I steeped on the scale and to my surprise I had lost almost 4 lbs. in one week, took sunday off as my knees are still hurting and now today I have so much pain I can hardly walk up the stairs, I am also limping all over the place.. It does not feel like it is a muscle ach as it feels like it might be a joint pain, I also have some pain going down my legs from my knees, anyway I know you are not Dr's. what my question is what are some high calorie burning exercises I can do while I let my legs rest? I do not want to lose momentum so early in my diet plan I would like to be down to 180 in about a year... Thank you.
