    Newbie Here

    Hi! I joined a while back and just getting around to posting here. Mainly I need to get a lot of weight off so I can have my knee replacement surgery. The more I get off the better it will be for me in recovery. Sooo here I am looking everything over and ready to start. I need to get the correct edition of DANDR and get with it. Well, it's good to be here.

    Hi, Welcome to the hood and finally posting

    There's a lot of information around this cyber world. Definitly get the 2002 DANDR for the correct information you'll need to get off to a most excellent start.

    With Atkins, exercise is a must, no matter how moderate you need to start. Do you have ideas of exercise you can do from your doc? Perhaps just moderate swimming or even floor Physical therapy.

    Best wishes and keep posting!

      Hi Lisa! Thanks for posting. I am already doing water aerobics and have a trainer working with me on strengthening exercises for my knee. Now I need to do more exercising at the gym. This week I have been slacking. Tomorrow I am going to see if I can find DANDR at the used bookstore. If not, I will order one.
      I am really excited to be here and look forward to getting this weight down and then on to goal!!!

          Hi Becky: Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at some pictures and I am impressed!! You have done a fantastic job. What a change in you. A friend gave me a photo taken recently and I don't look so hot but I WILL!! Last night I copied some recipes to notepad and the computer rebooted this morning so I have to download those again. Oh well, it keeps me searching on this forum. It is so great to be here.
