You shouldn't have this problem.
Exercise is a natural appetite supressant so I'm surprised you feel this way.
Make sure you drink plenty of water both during and after your workout as this may aliveiate your desire to over eat.

Of Course it does.
Not only does it prolong your life, it will GREATLY increase the quality of it.
Google "exercise benefits" and check for yourself.

Ever notice that about 65% of personal trainers look like they've never worked out a day in their life? Not saying that about anyone in particular, just a general observation I've made about many PT's and even Marcus seems to agree.

Marcus is right on. I learned the hard way that watching others is not the way to train. I tore my rotator cuff in the gym using weights incorrectly. Many guys do those side raises (lat raises?) with dumbbells wrong. I watched and copied. The result was major surgery and 13 months later I'm still not 100%
Learn from an expert, not some musclehead.

The exercise your talking about.
Sorry to hear about your injury.
The exercise you are describing is a side deltoid raise and like ALL exercises has to be done using strict and correct form.
Too many people use a weight that is too heavy and start "swinging" the weight back and forth resulting in, unfortunately, an injury like yours.
Good luck with your rehab.

Inclines are supposed to be easier on the knees. You sound new to exercise, so my advice to you is keep it simple with a few sets per exercise but put lots of exercises in. That way you get a feel for what different machines and free weights do.
Going to a gym as a "newbie" and not hiring a personal trainer is like trying to meet a SP and not checking out Terb. Many mentions here of injuries from attemting to work out and not knowing equipment or proper technique. And proper technique is where its at.
Its not how much you lift its how you lift it. Go hire a personal trainer its much cheaper and less painfull than surgery for a rotator cuff, blown out knees, or worst still lower back injuries.
