Sorry to have left...but I wanna come back!

[G-Mom]

Hi everyone!
Not everyone will know me, but I was a frequent poster several months back. I had to stop visiting the forum due to no time at all! Now I believe things have cooled off a bit and I can frequent the forum again.

Now, I can't say I have been perfect, however, I am still on Atkins. I did gain about 20 lbs.. starting in February because I broke my leg and had to have surgery. My family had to wait on me and I wasn't about to demand that I receive low carb meals. Sadly, now I have a tear in the cartilage of my knee, so I may have to have surgery on that. I am really bummed that I can't walk for exercise right now. However, the house we moved into in February (yes, a new house during a broken leg--actually I broke it the night we moved in...ugh), has an in ground pool so I can swim. It still needs to be summerized though.

Anyhoo, I just really felt the need to come back because I missed the wonderful support I receive here. I am so sorry to have left so abruptly, but I promise I won't do that again. I will get to goal with you guys!

Very sorry to hear about troubles, G-mom, but I am glad to be back. Getting injured was one of my biggest fears while losing weight, and being at the mercy of caretakers who might not have been as Atkins motivated. Being unable to exercise would be terrible too. The good news is your back among family.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome backs!

@Kent: You look phenomenal!! Congrats! Is your wife doing Atkins as well? My hubby has lost about 15 lbs so I feel I am always trying to keep up. Just wondering! What a snoop I am! You are right, though about the injuries business. We just moved in and our familes had to first, move us in, second, put stuff away, third help watch my kids, fourth, keep up with cleaning, and fifth(!) take care of me! I wasn't going to complain one iota!

Oh, it is so good to be back, I cant wait to post again! Plus I have high speed internet again, so that isn't a problem again.

Welcome back and Best wishes on a speedy recovery!!
