Coming back

I first joined this group in Nov '15 when I started keto. I had great results and then in maintenance, I experimented with varying carb levels to see what would work for me. I got a bit sloppier starting Sept '17 when I started working more (I'd been primarily a SAHM since 2009). I gradually regained 10 lbs and know I would benefit from the support and accountability in this group to get back on track.
I'm initially aiming for under 60g carbs/day for the weight loss phase and probably not more than 80 once I'm back in maintenance.

Glad to see you back.
I'm done, weight-loss-wise, and have been for awhile, but I always stick around and keep my nose in things because I know that's what it takes to keep me from straying too far afield, kwim?
It's nice to have veterans around.

Sounds like my story. LCHF worked the second time too.
It will be nice to "see" you around again. 2 -
Thank you! Good to see familiar posters still here. 1

Welcome back!1

You must have been somewhat active on MFP, you survived my friend purges. I routinely go through and unfriend everyone who hasn't been active for over a month. So, you either got lucky, or you were secretly on here waiting to come back.

@FIT_Goat woohoo, I'm a survivor! I have probably been checking in the Low Carb Ad Libitum challenge at least once a month, so that may explain that. I hadn't posted regularly in this group in quite a while though so I thought a reintroduction might be helpful!0

Yep, you made it. 1

I am back too...many of you know me as ms_smartypants ...I lost that account and gained back a lot of my weight so new year ...new me (again) Welcome back 1

I’m still around too!! Been a while as I’ve allowed the care requirements of my parents to take over my free time for the past couple of years. I’m fortunate to not have gained any weight though. It’s a miracle that it hasn’t happened though I’ve remained primarily low carb. I’m just not as low as I once was, but I have been able to maintain for these past two years without much effort. It’s nice to still have the control and if a see a few pounds on the scale I drop the carbs back down and lose them right away. My whole life has been spent on the weight loss rollercoaster ! It’s so nice to be off of that ride!
I wouldn’t have the control if it weren’t for MFP and the great people of this (and a couple other) group!!4 -

Your very welcome and thank you ...Happy New Year 1 -
I’m glad I’m back into the groups too! I have missed this a lot! I decided to devote more time to myself again. Will still be helping my parents, but they have gotten more independent again (until the next disaster occurs), and want their privacy back too.
It’s great to see so many still around!3 -
Another returner! I had great success first time round. Then fell and broke shoulder on ice last December and was pretty in active for a year it seems like ( tripped in March on cable stones and trying to brace the fall I fractured some ribs.. so been a rough year that way !). Any way back now and have gained back 10 of the 30 i shed. So onwards! Looking forward to being accountable by tracking everything these first dew weeks and getting back to running. The support of MFP community is so important- even if i am mostly a “lurker”.

So sorry to hear about your injuries! Glad to have you back, too. Wishing us both success with our extra 10 lbs!1
