Yeah, that's one of the reasons I'm using to stay motivated to lose weight recently, since I've been having some minor but annoying issues with one of my knees this past year. I feel quite a bit better after just losing 15 pounds.
I've recently seen several sites claim that every 1lb of extra weight adds 4lbs of pressure on the knees, so apparently my weight loss has already reduced the pressure on my knees by about 60lbs, which is nice.
I have a long ways to go, though, and for my bad choices the past decade I'm probably going to pay for it with arthritis in the knees when I'm older, unfortunately. But hopefully I'm helping to push the date when that happens to a much later date.
