My husband and I are trying to have a baby, so I figured I would switch up my diet to get in shape before getting pregnant. I started doing low carb but it's only making me gain weight! It's weird, the only place I am gaining though is my belly area and my boobs seem to be getting bigger. I'm always hungry for the weirdest foods now! Am I just having weird cravings since I have cut out carbs? If I start eating carbs again, will my stomach and boobs go back down?

    Yes, please eat ALL.THE.CARBS. And make sure to smoke two packs a day and drink a gallon of wine a day. You will be tiny again in no time!

    Haven't you heard of those IT WRAPZ things? I hear they work. If you wrap it around your belly, you can lose like 5 inches instantly!

    Oh I thought that was some kind of food you were talking about. I like wraps but they have carbs.

    It sounds like you are already pregnant.

    Well by eating carbs, you will never lose that weight!

    Congratulations on trying to start a family, that's wonderful!

    Have you checked with your Dr first? You know they always say you should ask a Dr when trying to get pregnant or lose weight.

    What have you replaced all the carbs with? Have you been eating a lot of meat? I hear eating a lot of meat helps.

    When I was pregnant, I gained weight in my butt too. If she didn't gain weight in her butt, maybe she is just getting fat?

    :laugh: :drinker:

    Yes it is most definitely the carbs... Make sure you eat a lot of Tuna, hot dogs and sushi as well. That will counteract the effect of the carbs. :wink:

    I did not gain weight in my butt, but in my belly (obviously :wink: ) and boobs.

    Yea, I think she's just getting fat. She's probably eating too much sugar. Sugar is evil and makes you gain weight.

    Well I like all of those but I heard if you eat too much tuna you can get mercury poisioning. Could that cause trouble for me since I am trying to have a baby?

    You're on a roll today!! From 90 year old grand parents sleeping in a tent in your yard to trying to get pregnant. That playroom should come in handy for that.
