    Sorry I haven't been around....

    Hi Guys (Terry - thanks for your posts - I have only just seen them )

    Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Here's the honest story - I think there is a slight possibility I could be pregnant

    We were going to start trying for baby number two in the new year but I have been having symptoms for over a week and am now a day late (although pregnancy test was negative yesterday but could have been too early). There really is only a slim possibility but I daren't do Atkins at the moment just in case. I should find out for sure in the next two days so will let you all know.

    If I don't speak to you before - have a very happy thanksgiving and be good

    Z xxxx

    Hi Guys - I am finally out of suspense and am NOT pregnant. I am glad in a way as I wanted to lose a bit more weight before trying for baby number two in January. Am a teeny bit disappointed too! I think all the stress of my Dad being ill must have altered my cycle. Thanks for all your support.

    High Z, Yep, jump to maintenance, but I would still keep track of my carbs. Eat whole grains, and still stay away from white flour, sugar, junk foods, etc. I sounds like your not going to be disappointed if your pregnant, so I will keep you in my thoughts and thing positive thought for you.
    But we have a forum for Prenant and Nursing so leaving us isn't an option. LOL

      Thanks Desert x
      I don't mind either way - I just want to know!!!!!!!!!!!!
      Am usually regular as clockwork so the fact that I'm late at all is unusual.

        Im so glad to hear from you Zara (and congratulations.... maybe)!

        Be sure to check out Pregnancy and Nursing on Atkins Low Carb Diets
        for any information that could be of help to you. I agree with Desert, go maintenance and watch those carbs. You dont want to mess yourself up if it doesnt turn out that you are pregnant and keeps all the processed crap out of your body if you are.

        Im afraid I had a brain freeze when asking you about Thanksgiving. lol But hey, have a wonderful Thursday! And dont stay awol!! Preggers or not!! You are missed.

            Hi Zara! I was just thinking about you this morning and wondering what you were up to. Glad to hear everything's okay (and maybe even more than okay?) Keep us posted. We all want to know now (you weren't thinking you could have a private life or anything, were you?) Nice to see you again.

                Glad you checked in, dollface! We was worried! But hey, a baby is a good excuse - I've got my fingers crossed! And of course, if you're just late, nothing else, why then you have another month or so of losing before you switch to maintenence - but that doesn't mean you can leave STACked, you know!

                  Thanks Guys - of course I won't leave you. I will either be on Induction again (I haven't been great on the food front I'm afraid - feeling too sick) or try and go to maintenance.

                      Surely that should have been a little Mr Zarabeau, Cleo!!
                      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
