Hi, I'm new to the board yet not too noobie to the low carb deal. I've tried
low carb in the past and this is the first time I've actually stuck to it for more than a day haha. Part of it is realizing I've gained 35lbs in the last 2 years and I just feel and look aweful, another reason is I have a party to go to in a month and I don't wanna look bad, barely any of my clothes fit and I don't have the money to really buy anything new. It might sound like I'm not doing it for myself but trust me, my motivation is very low and this is actually very motivating for me Today is my 5th day. I don't have a scale here so I'm not sure if I've lost any weight. I've been doing pilates and after this weekend I will have a gazelle to work with. The only trouble I'm having is when it comes to breakfast and dinner. You see, I was never much of a meat eater so eggs and bacon or sausage just isn't appealing to me. I do try to change em up and add different ingredients for added flavor though. I'm getting over it slowly hehe. The biggest challenge for me is dinner. I live with my boyfriend and his dad currently. His father is very over weight but is very stubborn and hates the low carb deal. He's very fond of his cookies and bread. He also isn't a very good cook and never wants to go to the grocery store. So we eat out every single night. It's really hard to find low carb items at fast food places. Who wants to eat a hamburger patty every night?

Okay, my hunger has gotten the best of me and I must make breakfast. Sorry for the long rambling post ;p
