He said overall im in good health, however upon exminig my legs he heard a slight sqeeking around my knee and that s when he recommended the weight loss. I have been excersizing for the last 3weeks now ,and I also started walking/jogging..and that s when my knee began to ache alittle. What should I do?

make for yourself a planned diet and exercise...walking puts strain on your knees and you will develop knee pain gradually... cycling is a best alternative to walking that won't put much strain on the knee joint.
