Hiya Kiddo:
Well...its all been said pretty much and I don't wish to repeat..so I would just like to say:

You are NEVER alone...WE ALL have these same struggles...it is HARD for all of us OFTEN...and we are here for each other. You CAN do this! I also, do NOT exercise anywhere near enough...you and I need to try harder to get more exercise in. It is HARD for me to even walk 45 minutes...but I have been wrapping my knees with ace bandages and trying. I suppose I am sacrificing the little knee-bone I have left for the sake of moving mny fat ass abit...but then I have to do something...so that is it.

I feel your pain and your hurt very much, and I wish I could do something to help you. All I can offer you is support and the advice that if you stand tough on this, over TIME, and resolve yourself to go slowly, that YOU WILL eventually get to your goal and be healthier for it!

I believe we can all do this...I believe we must do this...and I believe that YOU will find a way!

VERY best wishes to you on your journey;
Jake
