Thanks for the warm welcome!
I've spoken to my doctor at length about getting help with my right knee, and for managing my weight. My doctor is the type of person to seem sympathetic while you're talking to him, but offer no real advice or action.
I've been through physical therapy after my knee surgery, so I've been doing those exercises with my right. It has helped some, but not nearly enough.
I'm in the UK (Scotland, specifically), so insurance is not necessary, thankfully. On the other hand, the NHS is vastly underfunded, and unless there's an urgent emergency they're not likely to give referrals for anything, including to a dietician. I'm basically on my own.
I used to do Tae Bo (lost 50 lbs at that point) and thoroughly enjoyed the pace of it. Would pilates (mostly on the floor) be a good substitute?
