HI,

I think what you did in the past to lose the weight was put your body in starvation mode by not eating enough calories. So when you started to eat right again, your body started to hold onto it. I just found out I am getting arthritis in my rt. knee, and I just bought a treadmill too, and have been on it, but I am taking it slow at first, only 15 mins. a day at 2.2 mph. I feel that I am not getting enough cardio to burn the fat yet though since my heart rate isn't up there like it should be, even though I'm panting and short of breath by the time I am finished. I work up a nice sweat though so feel that I am doing something at least. I want to work up to more time though, but with my lower back and knee problems, I have to be careful too. I am over 300 now myself, so I know it will take time to get it off. I just have to cut the sugar down and eat right. If I don't plan meals out ahead of time, I cheat every time! I am a binge eater too, so I can't just eat one of something. I hate doing that because I feel so guilty afterwards for doing it. I feel that my eating is just emotional since I'm alone now, and I use food as comfort then. That is why I like talking on here and sharing. It helps you not feel so alone in your efforts. Keep up the good work and don't stop trying.
