Have you tried water work outs at all? Could be a little less stress on the ailing body parts, although previously having torn my medial meniscus I understand the annoyance and pain that come with knee issues.I am in the same boat only I'm much larger than 270. I would love to get back into the gym however I have had foot issue for over a year which makes doing the treadmill a not a possibility at the moment. Now the my knee on the same leg as bad foot is hurting. I fear that I've torn something in that knee. I've long battled depression and now my physical pain is becoming equal with my mental pain. I'm not sure how much more i can put up with.
Go see the doctor with the injuries and tell him/her you are serious about an exercise plan. If the answer is you can't run, ask about rowing or cycling. If you can't row or cycle, ask about swimming. Don't take no for an answer. If you get that answer tell the doctor what you told us about being on the road to an early death.I am in the same boat only I'm much larger than 270.

Wanna do the diet part with me until you’re healed and healthy enough to go to the gym?I am in the same boat only I'm much larger than 270.

Hey Fellow Fanatics,
This is going to be pretty humbling for me to right this, but I think I gotta or else its only going to get worse. i have a serious problem on my hands. It is one that probably many of us face. We know it's a problem. We know that WE are doing it to ourselves. We feel guilt ever time we make the problem worse. But, we continue with our habits. In my case, it hadn't always been this way, but it is now.
I have got to face the facts. I'm fat. and only getting fatter.
A few months ago, I posted what order at five guys in its respective thread and stated how I spend $25 and don't even get full. I got a barrage of replies about how that's so much food and GIFs of fat bastard from the Austin Powers movies. I did take those as jokes, but I felt AWFUL because I did it to myself.
Well, I've gained 10 pounds since that post. I am now up to 270lbs. I entered college at 170, left 190. My back and knees always hurt. I have EMBARRASING stretch marks on my stomach. I get out of breath just walking up the stairs. My blood pressure is 160/90. None of my clothes fit (and I refuse to bigger clothes since I know it's because I'm gaining weight.
I need things to change or I'm going to die. If not, I'll be stricken with a life of painful knees and disdain for having to walk up stairs.
Therefore, I will begin my weight loss journey on November 1st with a goal of losing 50 pounds by April 1st. If I do not lose the weight, I will donate $400 to one of Cyclone Fanatics Charities. To make sure I'm not cheating, I will be positing my weight every Friday.
I'm writing this post so that I have accountability and to see if anyone else feels the same way and wants to join me.
B.T.W. Feel free to make fun of me for being fat. It will only motivate me.
So much this.
Diets are great to drop weight initially, but you need to have a plan in place to change your eating/exercising habits once you get there. A friend of mine has dropped 30-40 lbs about 3 different times and falls back into old patterns once he loses it.
I have a noticeable increase in appetite when l've been lifting. Even just 20 mins revs up the old metabolism.
I downloaded my fitness pal to help me track calories back around the start of the new year. I lost 20 lbs and didn't really do any exercise. It is a free way to count calories and hold yourself accountable. Good luck, it isn't easy, but it is doable.

Fats and proteins are not your enemy. Sugar and carbs (fries, bread, potatoes, etc) are most certainly your enemy.
I'm sure you've been told that before, but I can tell you it worked for me.
Go see the doctor with the injuries and tell him/her you are serious about an exercise plan. If the answer is you can't run, ask about rowing or cycling. If you can't row or cycle, ask about swimming. Don't take no for an answer. If you get that answer tell the doctor what you told us about being on the road to an early death.
There is a good chance that the knee pain is from compensating for the bad foot. Get them both looked at!
