wow.

At 172.4 it is now obvious that my original goal of 165 was too high. I'm
thinking I may have to go underweight, maybe into the 130s to get rid of the
post-320 body distortions. Then bringing my weight back up to about 150
might put some fat back in the right distribution, I hope.

In areas where the fat is gone the skin has returned to normal. I had
expected to look like a Chinese Shar-Pei. I'm not sure if the high fat,
including saturated fat, accounts for this, or if I just had the right
genes. At 49 hoping for skin recovery was dubious optimism. I don't have
any of the face distortions that Roger Ebert ended up with. I'll bet he was
doing low fat.

Perhaps if you thought of adding (keeping) muscle the situation would be
very, very different. Ebert is 62 and he is not you.

Exercise would help you get rid of some of the body distortions.

I've finally convinced myself that, as much as I don't want to, I need
to exercise, as just losing weight isn't proving to be enough. I started
this morning doing crunches, or should I say trying to. I know, "butch
up". Any suggestions for other exercises that I could do at home,
without specialized equipment?

Good decision...

Pushups, squats, dips between chairs. leg raises, lunges. Chinups if you
have a bar.

I'm not sure what you consider specialized equipment, but at home you don't
need much beyond a decent dumbbell set and an adjustable bench. And if
you've got money to spend, a set of powerbars would be nice!
(www.powerblocks.com).

You can use many household items for weights. A large can of soup, an old
milk jug filled with water, paint cans, etc. Your body doesn't care how
fancy the weights are, as long as the resistance is there.

I can think of hundreds of ways to exercise without specialized equipment,
but the easiest ones to start with are long and fast walks, pushups, and
crunches. Pullups are excellent also, but you need a bar. The main things
are the consistency and intensity you put into your efforts.

One-legged squats, chinups/pullups (ok, you may need to get a bar),
crunches, toe touches.
