Welcome! Stick with it! As you know...this way of life WORKS! You've proven it to yourself once already. Looks like you are doing awesome so far. Congrats!

Your story sounds much like mine! To sum it up quickly (or not so quickly!): Weighing in at a whopping 165 (size 11/12), I first went on the Atkins diet before my wedding in 2001. I got down to 140 (not as good as your weight loss!) and was pretty happy (also a size 6) with how I looked. Went on our honeymoon and gained 10 pounds. Very disgusted with myself...I went back on the diet hard core...didn't lose a pound for the first couple weeks...figured out that I was pregnant! I tried to stay away from the carbs during my pregnancy, but just like you, I was ragged on by all of my friends...I gave in. I gained a total of 50 pounds and was pretty much a blob. I tried to go back on the diet when my baby was about 5 months, but I just couldn't give up my sweets. My little boy is now 15 months and I am FINALLY back on the right track.
