Well today is the day. November 1, I have officially started my journal, I am now accountable.

I have done Atkins, I lost all the weight I needed to. I had baby number seven and gained more weight than I needed to. Now he's 14 months old and I have twenty pounds still "hanging on."

The purpose of this journal for me is to make some new friends, learn more about healthy low carbing, and of course, dump this junk in my trunk! I would love to hear from any of you out there.

Welcome to my journal. I can go low carb- 30 net (I'm still nursing)for about 10-11 days, & then poof I just sabotage myself, last night it was halloween candy!

Any suggestions on what I can eat when this HORRID crabving begins? I do gag down Coconut oil on a regular basis.

Hi Daisy,
Welcome to Jimmy's Place !
You have 7 children?
Wow, have you figured out what's causing that yet? lol

As far as the Candy Attack last night, I believe alot of women (& some men) will be admitting to doing the same thing.
If you can handle a little extra sodium in your diet, this trick to STOP craving Candy & Sweets really works.

Eat a Dill Pickle very slowly!

The bitterness of the pickle actually KILLS the desire for Sweets 100%!

Hope to see you around the Journals & different Forums. If you have any questions feel free to ask away, because someone will have the answer for you.

Trying out my ticker!

Hi Daisy,

You have come to a great place to motivation, support, amd friendship.

7 children? My hat is off to you!

I am not sure what to eat other than protein and/or fat. I have heard L-Glutamine helps with sugar/carb cravings and that the powder is better than the pills/capsules.

Have a Happy Thursday!

Let's try it again!

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the post, I can't seem to get my ticker going on right. This is new to me.

I'll try more fat and a pickle, like Halsangel suggested.

OK I think I might have IT!!

Su,

Thanks for stopping by and for the advice, I will definitely give it a try. I have a Mexican vacation planned for mid-January an dI need to swim suit ready.

Your grandson is gorgeous! Take care!

Daisy,

I always appreciate people with Good Taste!

So Thank you for the compliment about my Little Angel, Ragan James. He'll be 2 months old on Nov. 7th, his Dad's 33rd Birthday (he's my Baby).
