I am new to this board. Today is my first low carb day. I have exactly 20 days until my wedding and I just want to lose weight. My goal number would be 19 pounds but I am not holding my breathe. I would be very happy with 9 pounds.

Today I am just trying to focus on no carbs. It is so hard for me right now. I want something sweet and totally over-filling. Cheeseburgers are my weakness and the bun is the best part. But looking great in my wedding dress is a big deal to...

Today is Day 12 of my new way of eating. I started with Atkins on August 5th. It's not the first time I've done Atkins, but it seems different than many years ago. I had gastric bypass on September 18, 2006, and never reached my goal. Why? Because of the Carb Monster!!! We were taught to eat protein first, vegetables and fruits second, and then carb IF WE HAD ROOM. Did I follow those rules? No! And what happened? I did not reach my goal, and then I started gaining. When I gained 15 pounds...

Well, the hemp protein tasted pretty bad. I felt like a horse because it tasted like grass. I could handle the taste, but I think it made me hungry.

Wow o' wow it has been a long week. I am so glad its Friday I can just scream. No real drama going on....just a long dull week that seemed to go on for freakin ever.

I do plan on visiting my mother for a bit (which can be REALLY trying at times) but other than that I plan to exercise and stay on plan, do some housecleaning and work on my quilt. I also cannot believe how close it is to the end of the year. The holidays will...

I weighed myself this morning for the first time since I stared plan. I lost 6 lbs in 12 days. I'm on my 14th day but didn't weigh myself at the very beginning. I had a doctor's appt. today and her scale showed I lost 10 lbs. I am still going by my own scale, but I am really excited. This is working and I am actually enjoying my meals. I never thought I could lose weight while eating foods that taste good. I'm so happy I have embraced a low carb way of life and I am so happy to have found...
