Anyway, I got desperate to break through my plateau and decided to change things up. I have been doing low-carb for the past 4 weeks! Ah! I have definitely lost weight - but at what cost? I could kill for a bowl of cereal or a delicious piece of toast... or no wait! a pancake. Yes, a scrumptious pancake. Mmmmm....
But I can't! Not for another two weeks (until Thanksgiving). I have already lost 9 pounds, which is pretty awesome. I just hope I can sustain this after reintroducing carbs. I think I will still due minimal sugar.... but, you know what, I digress. This is not what I wanted to tell you about!
What I meant to say in the beginning before I started going off about my love/hate of carbs, was that I was at the gym and got a really nice compliment. I have gone to my gym for about a year now, and I go about 4 times a week, so I know the staff pretty well. A woman that works in the locker room stopped me just to say she thought I was looking thin. Wait - what did you say?? Thin? Thank you! It made my day. And it really gives me the will power to put off that pancake for a little while longer.
Someday, carbs... someday

WAHOOO!! Way to go Sarah. I know its so hard. I have been on my lifestyle change for about 5-6 weeks and lost 12 pounds. It feels so good to see results and especially when someone else notices!! I haven't cut out carbs but maybe i should look into it, i kind of hit a wall. I just count calories and that has really helped me to loose fast. I too hope i can maintain my goal and keep strong. I have realized that "everything in moderation". I LOVE food and always ate way more than i should, when in reality i was full. Good luck and keep going strong.
Good job! What a nice compliment from that girl! I'm impressed you are doing low carb, I can't imagine, that is all I eat...but I might have to call and get some tips after this baby comes. I'm determined to lose all of my baby weight this time. PS keep up the good work, but carbs or no carbs you are always darling!
you go girl! talk to joe all about his low-glycemic diet...i went the opposite route and just decided to gain 15 pounds for the heck of it, but once i get the motivation: carbs and sugars are a no go.
Way to go Sarah! But you are GORGEOUS no matter what you weigh :) I have always been jealous of how photogenic you are! I think Jacob takes after you in that way. What a handsome kid you have!
You guys are too nice... And it is true to remember that feeling good about yourself doesn't come from a number on the scale. :)
that's awesome! keep it up! (whenever i do stuff like that, i CRAVE things so badly, and when i brake my diet to eat it, it's totally not worth it) so stay strong!
