Good Thread, let's keep it going.
I'm 52 6' and was 260 when I started. My goal is to get back under 220.
In July, I decided to take a break from drinking.
In August, I figured if I'm not drinking I need to fix my diet so I started 30 days of Carnivore. That went fine and was easier than I thought, although it's tough in how restrictive it is. Of course I could eat ribeye every night.
So far I've dropped about 25 lbs.

Throughout I've lifted around 5 days a week, nothing real heavy working different Muscle groups each time.
4-5 days a week I either do elliptical or ride a bike 30 minutes. I'm limited on cardio because of a bad knee, but just push through.

I'd say start slow and get your eating right. And as others have stated, get moving by walking or something every day.
You can do it, for me the biggest part of it all is getting right mentally.

awesome man. with that knee, you should look into the kneesovertoes program from athletic truth group. their programming will get that fixed up and they offer regressions and progressions for all their movements that can be done by a 85 year old all the way to pro athelete. Ben Patrick the creator test all regressions on his mother who is 70+. if she cant do it, its too advanced as a starting point.

let us know man if you need guidance on the lifting.
