good morning excarbqueen and welcome casinog 
another big ups to you on your loss excarb   my motto is, when it's coming off it's fat - when it's going on...it's just water.  
for starting a journal go here: How to start a Journal . alternatively you can find them under "journals / bootcamp" in the "Main Low-Carb Diets Forums & Support" section.
i wouldn't have a clue how carbs are calculated - eek i couldn't even work out how to use fitday  . when losing the bulk of my weight i've only ever guessed how many carbs i'm consuming by sticking to the lowest carb foods that i could find. that said there are plenty here that would know if you posted on this forum Newbie questions you'll be sure to get some help.
in new zealand we are about 16 - 18 hours ahead of the states, freaky ahe... 
casinog - yep think we can totally relate to that alcohol curse. it doesn't seem to become a problem until you do a diet like this and find out how much you really miss it. (thereby realising we had a slight problem ) it's great that your husband it being supportive though...go him!  and like you i do like the fact that it only stalls and doesn't actually fatten us up so we can indulge again at some point.  hehe. oh and i think even a little excercise it better than the nothing i usually do.
well i think i figured out what caused my gain yesterday, i had forgotten that i'd eaten a second dinner later at nite...never a good idea even if it's only trace carbs. still not drinking or missing it so that's all good. as for the rest, weeeeeeeelll, moving right along, lets not dwell on petty little things , suffice to say the scales were up a few more grams this morning, i'm VERY lucky they weren't up a few tonne  and i promise to be good today...hell i even did manage a little excercise this morning to attone for my sins.
have a good day all.
