just saying hello! I have been away from MFP and LCHF for quite a while. I find it really hard to stick to where I live and the people I live with ...hubby, kids...

I just recently learned I have a ligament tear in my knee after suffering with the pain for a year, which has sort of made it pretty clear I need to lose some weight to help it heal...or to ever run again.

So, this time I'm committed !! Even cutting out the weekday wines! And, thank goodness there's been progress these last two weeks or I'd have to rethink the no wine thing. Lol. I've lost 7.5 lbs in two weeks...and I'm thrilled!

Chat soon!

Artemis

    That is my problem as well. I do love my alcohol on the weekends, and it is very hard to do low carb when everyone around you is eating them up. I have lost around 5 lbs in my first week, and I am looking to do the same this week, even though I know that I will have to push myself even harder. Do some workouts and not just sit on my butt when I get home from work(though it is so hard because I am a restaurant manager, and I am on my feet all day every day). You are doing great!! Keep up the awesomeness!

    I'm working on a knee injury as well - torn meniscus as well as moderate osteoarthritis, and also made the decision to get back into the LC lifestyle to lose the weight and get back to being able to walk normally and do all the other things I want to do that my knee is preventing right now! Feel free to friend me if you want a kindred spirit going through something similar :)
