I started breathing heavily at very light exertion when I hit around 400 lb. When I reached 500, even getting up from my recliner became a strain, and I would feel fatigued instantly. It was hard, but I had to start moving and adding steps. Now I actually walk about a mile a day, slowly, across four small walks. I know that isn't much, but for someone moving 525 lb around, I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't lost any weight either -- and don't want to. Because of that, I don't want my knees to fail me before I'm 30, and I don't want to be bed bound by the time I'm 35. So the activity is critical to support the heavy body I carry around.
