I am a 7-12 grade teacher. I fell off the stage at our Christmas concert and tore my meniscus. I weighed about 275. Over Christmas, having been told by the doctor to basically not move for 3 weeks, I ballooned right up to 300 lbs. I have been unable to do much exercise since though I did do 10 weeks of physical therapy. I am awaiting surgery at the end of July. I decided that this summer while I await surgery (and teach summer camp) since I can't do much exercise, I would focus on healthy eating. I am hoping this site can help me with my very long journey.

Update: Lost an initial 35 pounds through calorie counting but it, plus more, crept back up on me. I restarted in August 2018 at 292. Currently, losing and loving my keto WOE.
