Hi Racquel,

My situation is pretty similar to yours... right down to the fact that I'm 19 1/2 weeks as well! This is my first child, though. I've been low carb since February of last year, and --though my husband and I are thrilled with our unexpected gift-- I really hoped to lose at least 20 more pounds before becoming pregnant. I've actually done fairly well at maintaining up until last month, but the holidays officially triggered my pregnant lady cravings and things have gotten a bit out of hand. I'm giving myself until Christmas, and then it is back on the wagon for me.

I'm not sure if you're interested in an accountability buddy, but if you are I'd love to have someone in the same pregnancy stage as me to help stay in line.
