You might look into Aquajogging, running in place floating in the pool with a foam belt for bouyancy.  Lance Armstrong does it to improve his power.  Lots of track athletes do it as well.  No impact and it is low speed, so it should be easy on the knee.  Or just trying kicking with a kickboard, either with arms extended or kickboard hugged to your chest, and do flutter kick, your knees will stay pretty much straight.  \n\nYou could do lots of sit-ups and core work as well?   You might just have to learn to deal with some pain in anything you do, as hard as that is.  Is a little pain worth more years on the life?  Sounds like a frustrating situation, hope you can find something that works for you.

That's really hard to say since those injuries occur across the full scope of your body. To continue losing weight, an even more significant diet change is recommended. Of course, this can easily become unhealthy, so proceeed with caution. Depending on your knee injury, I would suggest walking for an hour or so a day. There are plenty of benefits with that, including weightloss. Yoga is another more alternative source for weight loss. It helps the body function better as a whole and with more, shall I say, coherence and efficiency and aids in the loss of weight. Water aerobics is a good idea, since it greatly reduces your weight and the amount of stress and tension put on joints. Other than that, I can't think of much other advice other than to simply maintain your current weight and wait until your body heals to continue your normal routine.

I have had knee trouble since about the age of 9.  My doctor has told me since then that I need to do knee excercises.  To do this lay on your bed or couch and let the leg bend over the edge.  Slowly lift your leg until it is straight.  Hold for a second or two and repeat.  After a few weeks you can start adding weights to your ankles and continue doing the excercises.  This isolates the muscles in your knees.  25 lbs is the amount recommended.

avoid exercises that result in repeat impact to your knees: jumping, running, jogging, etc. Try using an elliptical where you never remove your foot from the surface and you are using your thighs and calves. \nDespite the advice you may get about using weights or floor exercises, it's better for you to do cardiovascular exercises than to do things that will build up or tone muscle- you don't want big thighs right? You want to burn fat and maintain a healthy heart so stick with the cardio work up that will avoid further injuring yur needs. Swimming is great but not readily available. If you have access to a pool year round (and don't mind ruining your hair)- go for it! Otherwise, Try the elliptical.

I HAD THAT EXACT PROBLEM YEARS AGO. TRY WALKING THE STAIRS. USE THE STAIRS AS A FORM OF EXERCISE. IT WILL NOT ONLY THIN YOUR THIGHS BUT IT'LL ALSO LIFT YOUR BUTT.

Interesting, I have had this feeling before and this is what I have done: Get plenty of sleep (at least 8 hours), eat healthy (fruits, protein [chicken], salad, fibers [oatmeal, breads], drink lots of water) 3-5 small meals a day, and get rid of any stinking thinking. Its important to stretch and drink water before, during and after your exercises. The most important thing I have done is stand up, bend slightly over, put your hands on your knees, and squat down slowly while keeping your hands on your knees as added support, then stand up slowly while keeping your hands on your knees, do this 15-20 times BEFORE doing any exercises such as running, squats, any leg lifts, anything that bends the knees - this warms up the knee joints. Also, wear comfortable shoes. Run on grass rather than a hard surface as it takes the impact away from your knee joints. Consider swimming and cycling as a good warmup. Maybe do lighter weight for a while to save your joints. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your joints active. Maybe look into some joint repair supplements at GNC. I do circuit training and I get a great workout without the heavy weights. My knees are fine now. Good luck.

Engage in vigorous exercise. Active stepping and stooping motions can help bring on a movement.\n\nTry natural food/drink laxatives, such as prune juice or lots of oily peanuts. Use an over-the-counter laxative only as a last, final resort.

I don't understand, you weighed 369lbs and now your at 250lbs. That is fantastic weight loss.  Why are you an invalid?  What can't you do at 250?  It sounds like you have plateaued. Meaning no matter what you do you cant loose any more weight.  That might be only temporary Your body is adjusting and you don't want your Body to start thinking it is starving.  Can you get to a pool?  Water exercises even just walking in it can really keep the calories burning and save your joints.  You might go to an allergist and see if you have an allergy to any of the food you eat.  Many obese people have allergies to wheat and or corn.  Once they stop eating the foods that are allergens they began to loose weight.  You have done a great thing loosing all that weight. Don't give up.

a good weightloss diet allows you to loose no more then 1-2 pounds per week.You need to loose slowly so that you do not lower your metabolic rate.\n\nEmphasize lots of vegetables,fruits,and legumes,small amounts of lean protein,and some nuts and seeds.Use the whole grains,instead of white rice,use brown,do not use anything made from white or milled grains.\n\ndrink plenty of water,and learn the portions and calories in the foods you eat,use olive oil,flax oil and monounsaturated fats instead of corn oil,and other damaging hydrogenated fats. \nStay away from sugar,proccessed foods and other junk.\n\nThis combined with exercise will start you on the right path,research and read books on fitness and diet,by checking them out from the library and educate yourself,that is a very important thing... GOOD LUCK! \n\nAppropriate exercise techniques for thighs and hips can be found in many good exercise books which will show u the proper form for doing things like squats and lunges.Educating yourself is the best method.

Try yoga at first to limber up and then move on to include step exercises.  Go for a brisk walk too after a few weeks of building your stamina.  If you have not been active in a while and if you are over weight - do things slowly so you don't burden your heart with undue stress.\n\nModify your diet!  i cut out refined sugar in my coffee....4 cups with 2 teaspoons a day was a lot and now a month later I am alittle nicer to be around says my family.  No soda!\n\nEngage a friend to walk with you.  My Mom did this with me and we looked for decorating ideas in the various windows\n\nGood luck to you - asking is the first step - I bet you are on your way!
