Oh and people need to get off the thought that you can't be overweight and healthy. If I could post my latest bloodwork and full physical reports, you'd never know that I'm the weight I am. The most unhealthy thing about me is the mild arthritis I have in my wrists and knees. Part of that is hereditary, and part is from playing sports that are damaging to these parts.
I agree. My bloodwork and physical reports always state I'm in good health.

You can't obese and healthy. Overweight is not obese, so I wouldn't say an overweight person is overall unhealthy, but I would say that said person is at serious medical risk and should take propper precautions.
Don't you think your knees would respond to treatment a little better with less weight? In fact, most knee and leg issues are affected by changes in weight, some quite drastically. There's some homeostatic effects here, too - a holistic element, and while you can be overweight and not in poor health, all of us should strive for a healthy weight and lifestyle.
Very true and my weight has made it worse, but it started when I was 15 and at a decent weight. I guess I've had problems ever since I was born since I was born with bow legs (sp?) and my great aunt tied my knees together in an attempt to fix them. Apparently this was a thing they used to do.
