    The best thing I ever did was get information on what I was eating. Ignorance was killing me. I been on diets all my life and was getting bigger and more depressed.

    It can take a year or so? I thought we had a small time frame dealing with this knee scare tissue from the surgery? Also my hips are bothering me a little sense I had this knee replacement 5 weeks ago. I had both hips replaced last year. I wonder is it because everything is off balance? I have...
