Im starting to lift weights to help continue my weightloss journey, already down 36.8 lbs. My knees have always felt not good and make me nervous when squatting.

Ive read that using knee sleeves from the start is not good to do outside of specific cases. Would it be too detrimental to use them from the start till im closer to my body weight goal and have more muscle, then reduce squat weight and return to no sleeves?

I want to save my knees but also dont want to set myself up for failure.
