I must admit I agree with your wife about not skipping meals though. That can wreak havoc on your metabolism in the long run. Cutting out the night eating is so smart. I just read a blog about intermittent fasting and it got me thinking. We usually eat dinner around 7 and it might be healthier to try to get dinner on the table sooner. That would be a healthy change I could make for my whole family.
Do you have a specific weight loss goal? I've been working to lose 8 lbs for a month now and I'm down 4.8 so far. Its a slow road, but a good one. I hurt my knee previously as well. I did a lot of punches and free weights with my arms while it healed. Knee injuries can be so painful. I hope yours heals soon!

Happy to be here in this thread! I do not have a specific weight goal in mind but I think getting down to 200 for a big guy like me should be preferable. so far, I've had success with just my eating and the exercise will help tremendously even if it's just going for a walk. maybe I'll become a mall zombie and walk with all the nice folks there lol. I do intend to stop skipping meals. don't want appetite issues down the line. I've also looked into intermittent fasting. I may actually try that out. my Wife and I usually eat between 5 and 6 and a light snack afterwards.
The knee is due for a cortisone shot and after that, I'll be good to go. Hope your knee holds up as well and congrats on the weight loss! Thanks for the kind words, fern46, I appreciate it and I'll be sure to continue checking in on this thread.
