Haha I was reading your post to my husband and he said "20 weeks or 20 years?" Lol, too true! Ahh!

Thank you all so so much for the congratulations and we'll wishes!!! 10 days till the anatomy scan! Woot! <3 :)

Just an update....maybe the lchf and all the baby dust sent my way helped after all because I got my bfp May 20th! I'm now 18 weeks pregnant! We have our 20 week anatomy scan pretty soon and I'm crazy excited to find out if baby's a boy or girl - this is our 1st baby and I still have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not…

Truly amazing job! :) You must be very proud of all you've accomplished. Thanks for posting your eating plan. Totally inspiring!

Who the *kitten* knows ;)

I was 12 days late. Was lchf/no alcohol all of Feb and then went off the deep end around March 8th... Disappointed because of several bfn's and just not feeling like myself. All could have been in my head. I did see the gyno and she set up a bunch of tests for me and one for hubby. We'll be seeing her in a couple weeks to…

Well, I don't know what to think, but thanks for all the baby dust wishes. Gonna test again soon. Scared there's something wrong with me healthwise, but I am a bit of a hypochondriac. Been crying a lot the past couple days and feel more emotional than usual. Thanks for letting me vent!

Spaghetti squash all the way; however, I haven't tried zoodles yet. Sounds like a win though.

Peel off the toppings! Wings!

Thank you everyone - interesting information. I don't recall going through anything like this when I went low carb in my mid-20's and made it to my goal weight. Although, now I have significantly more to lose after maintaining for years then changing jobs and not being able to exercise and gaining almost 100lbs. I will up…

I'll keep the berries, tomatoes, avocado and watermelon - @LHWhite903 then you can have the rest ;)

Thank you for clarifying - I got the power aid zero too just to cover all my bases.

Thank you...yes it is. About how much water? Is this for approx 8oz water?

Fage is the best!

Thank you, that means a lot. The support really helps as I a new to opening up to other people about this part of my life. o:)

@clord72 I always use the Greek yogurt fire in full fat it's so awesome because it tastes like sour cream but I can add vanilla to it or anything to it to change the flavor if I want to. @CMYKRGB Thanks for the tip! Stalls suck.

I typically eat approx 100g protien per day and I've felt fine. Not having enough electrolytes, however, has had me downing chicken broth. Maybe that was just a lot of meat for your tum to handle after a long absence? I 2nd that ground turkey is a little easier for me to digest too. Baby steps :)

@macchiatto - I took my measurements in October...I didnt want want to do it right before my restart date (2/2) because i dont think i could handle it after Christmas and my vacation. So I'll use the October ones as my base and do my measurements every 2 weeks (so this Sunday coming up). I'm sure I'll be pleased. o:)

Hahaa! When I'm working out- definitely sex. When I'm not - food is my sex of choice. Right now I am working out and feeling pretty sexy, but alas, hubby is on the couch watching the Making of a Murderer, and I am in bed alone. At least my cat is snuggled beside me lollo! :( and yes I did make a couple of passive…

Has anyone done fried zucchini with either of these? I love fried zucchini sticks...if this means I can have them again it would be rad :p

Great idea! I will try that. There is a real butcher in my town just a little further away and, of course (justifiably), more expensive. I also loved everyone else's idea of purchasing lean and then adding the fat back in. Hahaa total lchf paradigm shift! PS I've only been doing this for 9 days and a shirt I wear that was…

Wow that really resonated with me. I don't know why but I think you're onto something in regards to self-sabotage or abusing yourself. I have gained 80ish pounds in the last 4 years with bouts of overeating and over drinking and it has culminated into a huge depression that I have been going through. I never put two and…

@SamandaIndia - Yeah definitely not fun. Then I went to visit my mom (who knows I'm doing low carb) and she insisted on showing me some pretty desserts that she got from the market. I can't win! Everything turned around later that evening when I ate my delicious steak and home made creamed spinach. :wink:

Why does that sound more like a bath bomb to me lollo? ;)

I think wabmester is onto something - changing perspective from what we don't "get" to have to what we do! I love home made whipped cream and hardly put any sugar in it before low carb high fat so eliminating it completely is totally not a big deal as long as I put vanilla in it. I make sure I have enough carbs for…

Wtg! Have you been exercising too? Congrats on reaching your halfway mark. I need to lose about 80 pounds. Well I'll be honest after the holidays let's make it an even 100. Ugh!

Thanks everyone, I will Def look into NuSalt. Never heard of that before. I do usually take a potassium and magnesium supplement but ran out and haven't picked up more. I had broth before bed last night and that seemed to help. I think I need to drink more water too.

Good for you Elize! Out of sight out of mind.
