My husband picked me up the other day. It may not have broken his back but my own body weight sure made me feel like I was going split in two!! Lol Good job getting back on track!! I say I eat 'lower' carb, because I too have been attacked by the true low carbers. fudge that, I could never give up all of my carbs!

Ya know, when you reach your goal weight, you can write the perfect diet book just by copying your journals with all the ups, downs, pregnancies, bear poop and everything else and the rest of us will just laugh our fat a$$es off with no will power involved. You would make a fortune!

About a year ago, I said something to someone that made him very happy. The fool decided to pick me up with (I think) the intention of swinging me around in celebration. What actually happened was my feet never left the floor, I am sure he platted some of my ribs and he abandoned the attempt before he did his back irreparable damage, LOL!!
Low carbing as per Atkins, begins at 20g net carbs and increases. So, even Atkins can be higher than 20g carbs. You do what works for you, don't be deflated by the Low Carb Fascists. What galls me are the people who say Atkins is a no carb diet. Or the people who say they are on a no carb diet then say they are eating vegetables etc, duh! You carry on doing what you are doing. If it works, its fine, eh!

I'm lucky I have a husband that wrestles cows.. sure when he picks me up sometimes he turns all red and looks like a blow fish but.. he always follows through. lol I miss when I was 150 lbs and it was a regular event that only warrented a tiny grunt. Don't ask me why.. but being twirled around in a barn is a giant ego boost. And.. well.. kinda sexy!

Oh my goodness, girl I can so relate to this post in many ways. I hate it when people lump all carbs in a box and get on the all carbs are bad for you kick. All carbs are NOT bad for you! And yes, there's a difference between fruit and candy. There's a difference between simple and complex sugar and yes even a difference between fructose, sucrose, and glucose. Having taking organic and biochemistry, some of the things I hear people say I just want to be like the guy on Austin powers with my little finger to the corner of my mouth while saying "Oh really". Haha!

hahaha! The trick is to have 6'3'' 250lb construction worker friends who can throw you around like a frisbee! Ok maybe not a frisbee but you get the idea.
Ok my LCHF friends dont shoot me(!) but I have been doing about 100ish carbs since the kids have been cooking and I am still losing weight. Slower, but still losing. I think what the carbs come from is the most important thing rather than an exact amount of carbs. And everyone is different anyway and its not supposed to be a diet....blah blah blah you know all that. Do what you can do consistently and you will be successful.

Good for you!! You do what works for you and don't worry about what anyone else says. A little competition with the hubby is a good thing if it's motivating you to be healthy. :)

Admittedly I got it from someone on here... but my memory of who I cannot place. I loved it so I use it.

I love carbs of all kinds. If cherries make you happy, enjoy! I have begun to suspect that my husband is also on a secret diet. I have been watchful, but keeping my mouth shut so as not to jinx it. :)

I prefer to not say diet. I will immediately rebel against myself. I consider it an EDIT! :)
