Embarking on a low-carb diet once again after many tries in the past (some long-term, some not so long). After 4 days back on the plan, I don't know why I've been so resistant to do it. I'm feeling great...no bloating, no heartburn, more energy, among other things. All things I knew would happen if I got back on the plan.

I had my third child 20 months ago and since then have piled on the pounds to become the heaviest I've been in 20 years...not good. I've got a few days in and down one pound. Although I wish I could have seen the dramatic first week drop that used to happen when I was younger, I'll take what I can get.

Welcome back! Stick with it cos it really works, but it can be a slow process....but if you feel well its easier. Good Luck

You and I are in the same boat! I have been off and on and since I have been back on, I feel so much better! It is easier, once you actually start. Good luck and keep in touch!

Thanks! Got on the scale this morning and was down 2 more pounds so that's great motivation. It's always so hard to get that momentum going the first few days, but once a few pounds come off my outlook is better. My husband got me a gazelle for Christmas and finally put it together last night, so now I have something to do inside (I don't like walking in the cold or in the dark, lol).

A gazelle can be this:

or this:

Both have their uses on a low-carb diet.

Haha! Well to be clear, my gazelle would resemble the bottom picture...

Thanks for the answer bout the gazelle, have never heard of an exercise machine called that down here in little old New Zealand!! I have a treadmill for the dark and yukky days, but its summer here so I'm just walking the dog.
