Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - What was your defining moment?

My Defining Moment came when DH and I were talking about having another child. DH didn't want to do it until I lost some weight - he was afraid for my health because I gained 25 lbs with my first pregnancy. I told DH I'd never hit the 250 mark...well, low and behold - those stupid numbers were glaring right at me on the scale! I did what I said I wasn't going to do! So I tried Weight Watchers (I lost about 30 lbs on WW in the past) but this time it just wasn't working. I was hungry all the time and the weight wasn't budging. So I decided to try Atkins. Granted I've only lost about 15 lbs since January - but I feel so good - my pants are hanging off me - I'm losing slowly but surely and I'm not hungry and I can eat a lot of the stuff I love!! I'm not even close to my goal yet, but when I get down to 200 - we'll start trying for another child.
