I've had two c-sections and have never had issues but I know someone who has. She wears a waist cincher and says it keeps the pressure to a minimum. Maybe that would help?

I started low carb about 4 months ago and have lost 45 pounds. I had never been to a gym until I started in March (I am 31), but started with the treadmill and whatever weight machines I felt like doing. Now I usually do the elliptical machine and lift different weights for 20-30 minutes.

Thanks, everyone!

I eat more than 20 carbs, too. I have lost 45 pounds in 4 months.

I like chicken apple sausage, scrambled eggs with spinach and low fat cheese, fruit and yogurt with granola.

Sorry, forgot to post yesterday! My sister got married this weekend and we were SO busy! I ate cake for the first time since march, and I drank tons of champagne. Didn't hit the gym at all last week so i'm happy with my one pound loss! Stacybaker707 Sunday This week: 195

Stacybaker707 Sunday Last week: 197.6 This week 196 Kicking up my gym time, been lazy lately. Did elliptical for a whole hour today! 💪🏻

@bisonpitcher congrats on making it to ONEderland! Great job, everyone!

Stacybaker707 Weigh in day: Sunday Last week's weight: 199 Current weight: 197.6 Not too bad for summer, not really going to the gym. Went to the river yesterday and ate some chips, was worried about it but didn't go overboard. Packed some greek yogurt and atkins snacks for sweet cravings!

Stacybaker707 Weigh in day: Sunday Previous weight: 200.6 Current weight: 199 Summer break has started, no work for 10 weeks for me. Trying to get out and about with the kids at least 5x a week for a hike or walk. Not too much gym going on for me but I finally broke 200!

@JulieAL1969 @Djou11 i have been low carb/keto for about 3 months (almost) and have lost 37 pounds. Totally working for me and I don't find it that hard!

I buy cold brewed coffee from safeway, add half & half, sugar free vanilla syrup and a splenda packet. Super creamy & yummy!

Stacybaker707 Last week: 202.6 This week: 200.6 Taking my weight from yesterday as I forgot to weigh in this morning and already started eating and drinking!

Sorry that is happening to you. I started with very high cholesterol before doing keto. I did try to hit all my fat macros but it was hard. Weight loss dropped my cholesterol to where I would not need medicine. Now I just eat whatever is low carb, I don't follow if I'm getting enough fat or not. Wish I had more advice but…

Got on the scale today just for the heck of it (I usually weigh once a week on Sundays), hoping for it to be under 200. This is what I saw: Wish me luck for tomorrow!! (PS- Sorry for the dirty scale!!)

This is from the MFP progress pics section! Btw, it is about 25 pound difference.

@WA_Teacher thank you. So close to being in the 100's I can taste it!

Last week: 207 This week: 204.8!

I like to take salami or lunchmeat chicken or turkey, cheese, pickles, pepperoncinis, and spinach dip and put them in a tupperware. I can roll them up with whatever combo sounds good. Easy, fast, low carb.

@wyhorzegal I have the same goal! I'm actually hoping to leave the 200's by the last day of school (June 14th!). I just headed to the gym and did treadmill on hill setting for 45 minutes as well as walking during work! We got this!!

My weight for today is 207. Ready to be out of the 2's!

Is it crampy? It could be potassium related and you may need more.

I had GD during my second pregnancy and relied on insulin after each meal to keep my sugars in check. I basically did what I do now (low carb), and I had a healthy 5lb 13oz baby boy. The plus to that diet was that I didn't gain hardly any weight and my swelling was minimal compared to the first baby. If you have concerns,…

You're kicking butt! Congratulations. Keep up the great work!

We have 17 days left, also! I am not a teacher but I started working at my sons' school this year part-time. Stay at home mom is a boring job to have for ten years!

@WA_Teacher thank you, so are you!

Peppercorn pork tenderloin, caesar salad, and parmesan zucchini! Came in at 11.9 net carbs when added the croutons. I hadn't eaten all day so I splurged!

Thank you. I've been keto for about a month and a half.
