Hi @walk2, Such a great discussion for a lot of us folks getting older and carry around some extra weight. I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @cindymattern and @jennycyprus. I had my right knee replaced a few years ago and always knew that it would help if I lost some weight. What has helped me was intermittent fasting along with changing to low carb healthy fat eating along with getting rid of some bad snacking habits. There is a discussion that helped me if you are interested in learning more.

--- Low-carb healthy fat living. Intermittent fasting. What’s your why?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/low-carb-healthy-fat-living-intermittent-fasting-whats-your-why/.

A few months prior to having my knee replaced my surgeon gave me a list of pre and post surgery leg exercises and told me it would help my recovery and other knee if I could lose some weight. I definitely think losing some weight helped my recovery and hopefully prevents future joint problems.

Have you looked into any changes you can make to help with losing weight?
