Re: Hello

Hi Jan! Welcome to the Board.

Maybe you can do another exercise, something that doesn't use your knees so much. It will be difficult to stick to any exercise if it causes you pain. Did you try the elliptical?

Re: Hello

Welcome Jan! I'm glad you found us and are going to give the diet a serious try.

Do you have the 2002 version of the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution? It's the one we use here and it fully explains how and why the diet works.

I have had knee problems in the past and find that the best exercise for me is swimming so maybe you could try that. I also work out with a stability ball which is easy on the knees too.
