Best of luck Cris! Personally I feel walking is MUCH easier on the joints regardless of one's weight. Walking *some* every single day is best. Running every day is not a sustainable activity for many people, (myself included). The joints just break down from all the pounding. Even with walking it's always best to stick to soft surfaces.
Hey I wish you the best, I will be watching your progress. I am going through the same thing now. Go by %BodyFat nothing else. BMI and other measurements are not very accurate measures of health. I am 6'1" and have an ideal weight of 267lbs (15%bf), which BMI would consider obese.

@avader5 Yea - the whole BMI thing is just insanely backwards if you are anywhere "not standard" - and I, for one, am not standard LOL
