Welcome to KICKAS.
What you are going through we have all been through.
As to the exercise, find a Sport/Exercise that you enjoy (Golf/Tennis/Yoga/Tia Chi), any will do, but obviously the ones with more range of movement is better. Try making the Sport/Exercises a socializing exercise as well, ie do you have friends that can join you.
Since you are close to other KICKAS members, see if you can make a meeting with a few of them. It is always great to meet other people in the same situation and share experiences.
Check out the other forums, especially the NSD No Starch Diet Forum, many people have posted great success on the NSD. You will find a lot of information on AS in this site and alot of supportive people.
If you have any questions, post them up and you will be surprised at the amount of replies.
Take Care
Wayne
