PinkLotus - I just want to reassure you that, as an obese woman, I have gotten almost universal acceptance from those I have labeled as "testosterone boys." It is wonderful to have someone help me with form or answer my newbie questions. Don't want to do it too frequently or really interrupt their work-outs, of course, but an occasional question from me has always been met with kindness and support. BTW - good to see you! The last time we interacted, I believe you were planning a wedding?
Superfluous - I don't have specific advice on a low-impact routine, but weight lifting isn't really particularly high impact. Most advice I have heard is to just pick a routine--tons available online or in books--and do body weight before you start with weights. So, a squat, but do it for the first session or two without the bar. Then, if you are sure your body can handle it and you have worked on good form, add the bar. Good luck.
