Not new to Atkins,but back once again

[kitten622]

Hi my name is Sandy I'm 45 years old just had back surgery 6 months ago and have manage to gain 25 pounds. I did Atkins and lost 40 pounds kept it off for three years. Started having back problems two years ago and with all the meds and crap I was still able to hold my own till I had surgery. It all went out the window then. I'm just now getting to where I can walk two miles did it 38 minutes with out thinking I'm going to die in pain.Still have some pain but it isn't the back, all my pain settles in my left leg around the ankle area. Sitting on my butt the last 6 months hasn't been good for me. My recovery has been very slow totally not what the doctor said it would be. I have done no kind of exercise or anything period. Doctor said I had plenty of time later to do all that after my back healed. Now I have this extra 25 pounds on top of what I still needed to lose to get rid of again. I'm actually starting back eating right tomorrow. I'm ready my body has been fighting me this whole time with the bad eating I have been doing. So wish me luck I will need it the next few days to get the sugar out of my system...

Starting weight 186.0
Goal weight 135-140
