New to Low Carb Friends and Looking for a Buddy

thin2win · 08-21-2007, 06:39 AM

Hello !

I am new and am looking for a buddy to help keep me motivated. Here's my background: I have always been a runner for as long as I can remember until last year when I had a disk protrusion in my lower back which caused me to stop my workout routine for about a year - due to terrible pain. The pain has subsided - but I have to be careful to not overdo it - as this disk issue will always be with me. I absolutely love to run (more like jog) and want to get started again. I run during my lunch hour (not a morning runner) and try to get in about 2-3 miles a day. As far as the carb counting - this is all new to me as well. My neighbor educated my on the subject the other day and now I find myself looking at food in a whole new way. I have about 20 lbs to lose and it won't be easy! I don't have alot of willpower and give in pretty easily to temptation. I am in my mid-40's and in the worst shape of my life.
