Hello to whomever may read this! I am a middle-aged housewife, Er,domestic engineer, who loves her family, friends, and pets. My purpose in life thus far has been to take care of anything that breathed within my field of view. Unfortunately, I didn't include myself, so I am now overweight, hypertensive,have hypothyroidism, pre-diabetic, have to have a knee replacement, have fibromyalgia, chronic tendinitis in both my thumbs, and have waves of muscle cramps in my inner thighs at night. Whew!

I started on LCHF May 13, 2017. So far so good! With determination and the tools here, I plan to lose 100 pounds of fat. After that, who knows?

I'm trying to lose weight before my surgery,hoping for 20# before then. Also trying to improve muscle tone to help my recovery.

Hope everyone has great success with their own goals.
