Hi everyone,
I am new to this low carb lifestyle and to this forum. I have a 8.5 month old baby boy named Alex that I am still breastfeeding. He is on limited solids and the occassional formula bottle, but so far so good.
I decided to go low-carb in order to lose the rest of my baby weight plus the extra weight that I started with when I got pregnant in the first place. I started at 118 (I'm only 4'9.5" so I was chubby even at that weight). I topped out at 151 at delivery time, and am down to 130 after low-carbing on and off in the past 8 months. My ultimate weight goal is 107.
My husband is actually my main reason for changing my (our) eating habits. At 6'3", he weighed in at 279 3 weeks ago. After following a low carb eating plan of 3 meals of 30 carbs each and 3 snacks of 15 carbs each, he's lost 16lbs in the past 3 weeks! I've dropped 7.5 in the same time span. Now, we're on to the next phase of following Atkins more closely.
