my knees hurt bad and i want to start walking.

i want to lose this weight and be healthy.

do little steps really work???

am i the only large female who is struggling with walking and her knees....

the hardest step is the first one........

Have you considered water aerobics or doing laps in the pool? I hear that is easier on the joints.

No you are not the only one. I have the same problem along with a slipped disc in my back. I wished I could do more walking without pain.

Like Daisychains7 said, Water aerobics should be the best solution for us. I'm waiting for my incisions to heal so I can get in the pool. Small steps should help because you are moving. Good Luck and keep moving.

This quote came to my mind while replying to you

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward."

I highly recommend trying swimming or water aerobics. When I started out I was at 365 pounds. I had trouble walking in the grocery store never mind trying to walk for exercise. To make it easier I use a snorkel and for entertainment I have a waterproof mp3 player.
