    Re: Starting again 1/7/07 and looking for SUPPORT!

    Hi Jaime, Welcome back. I too lost 60 lbs in 2004 and then I got pregnant. I gained 23 after the baby. I only gained 12 during pregnancy and lost them immediately. I didn't gain until after I stopped nursing. So, I'm back and actually this time I am losing faster than the first time around. I only have 10 lbs to go before I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 177. I have a large frame. @ 177 and 5 4" I still wore a 12 comfortably. My ultimate goal will be an 8. So, as for your TTC. I have 3 boys. 17 yrs, 5 yrs, and 17 months. I tried as you can see for 11 yrs to get pg with boy number 2. I was very heavy and nothing worked. Then after the 60 lbs weight loss I only had to try 3 cycles and BAM I was pregnant in 2004. So something about low carb or weightloss in general does increase your chances. I hope that inspires you some. I just want to say your so pretty too. I bet when you get this weight of your going to ROCK!! LOL. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah as for the stuff youve been looking for. I know what you mean a lot of the stuff I used to use is gone but actually it all did start stalling me which means the previous posters are correct in saying cook fresh foods and stay away from that stuff. If you want to occasionally fry something believe it or not, Soy flour is amazing. It only takes a little and it goes along way. I fry anything from pork chops to zuchinni or even fish in it. I don't know if it will stall you but I doesn't me. I mean its one of those your mileage may vary things. It's only 1.34 at walmart for a box and it lasts me forever. I mean I only use like 1/4 cup and bread a bunch of meat with it and end up throwing some out. Keep us posted and if you need another buddy Email me. SouLThinking@aol.com. I'll keep your success and TTC in my prayers.
    God Bless

      Hey Support Friends!
      (grrr, I just lost a GREAT post by putting in too many smiles)

      WW, I just read on the box insert, that the ketosticks are only good for 6 months after you open them and it says to write the date opened on the jar so you'll know. I guess that's pretty important if you're a diabetic. Anyway, I got my box of 50 from walmart for 6 or 8 bucks (can't remember exactly).

      I did read on some Atkins board where someone said they cut them in half!

      See these two guys below

      The guy on the left is the color of my ketostick this morning. The guy on the right is the max color listed.

        Nichole - wow, thanks for all the info! I hear a lot of stories about people low-carbing and conceiving. And for me, personally, I feel like my body is all out of whack when I am not low-carbing so maybe this will do the trick for me (or maybe losing weight in general will help).

        Maybe I can start using soy flour more instead of the Atkins bake mix. I just see so many recipes that call for a little bit of bake mix and I don't have any.

        Thanks for the email! I need all the help I can get! I'm going strong now but I have a long way to go. Oh, and thanks for the compliment on my pic! That is sweet! I should post a pic of me at my lowest with Atkins.

        Sadie - Oh, sorry you lost your post! I hate that! So I guess that answers my question about the sticks! You found some at Wal-Mart? Wow, I will have to try there. Even if your stick turns a little, you are in ketosis so way to go!!!!
