Low Carb

On May 16th I started a low carb diet.  My carb intake ranges from 20-25 carbs per day.  I am hoping that it works out well.

When I was pregnant with my son I had gestational diabetes.  I was put on a low carb diet and my weight loss in the first week was quite high (around 7 pounds).  They changed it so I consumed more carbs because I shouldn't have lost weight when I was pregnant.

I haven't weighed myself yet, but I will this weekend.  I am not expecting a dramatic weight loss in such a short time.  The Atkins.com website states you can lose up to 15 pounds in your first two weeks.  I am banking on maybe 5-7 pounds instead.  If I aim low and it is higher I will be pleasantly surprised.  If it is the huge amount of 15 pounds or even close to that I will be ecstatic.

Size 8 here I come.  :-)
