went to the gym today

I went to the gym today to just walk on the tread mill. I need to loose 15lbs. I have gained so much in the past year its depressing me. I was 125 now i am at 140 or 145. I am afraid to jump on a scale :(..... anyways whithin 10 to 15 minutes of me on the treadmill on the hill setting on a 3 mph speed setting my left knee starts to hurt ughhh... so i slowed it down and i kept going. I have been trying to eat better since being physicle hurts my legs. does anyone have any sugestings. I am going to try to go back 3 times a week to just walk on treadmill. hopfully to get my knees and legs stronger and loose some inches.

I joined the gym again about 4 months ago. when i went back my spine started to hurt, so it freaked me out and i never went back. I am so afraid that this will harm me and not help me ... soooo annoyed

thanks for listening

hello all, the ability to exercise as usual is something  i miss more than ANYTHING! for me, the burn of a good hike is the only thing that keeps insomnia in check......

now, on a good day, i walk with two sticks (like the pro K2 climbers )

 at home, i have an old elyptic trainer... i can do that for 2 minutes, sometimes twice a day. but not often enough. 

yoga, at home, is my usual routine, and it helps.

when i was doing massage therapy, i was always telling clients,"...if you would strengthen up, even just walking 1 mile, you would have less pain...". how i wish i could do that now! every bit helps.
