The hubby and I are going low carb. Started yesterday. Need to lose some weight.
Did this a few years back, but for some reason I stopped. Need to get serious again.
The junk in my trunk is starting to morph into the "BLOB" and I am not happy about it.
Will try to post frequently. If anyone wants recipes I can do that too. This one was really good.

Great idea mom, you should put in the recipes of anything you thought was super good! Good luck to you guys, Steve and I should probably do something too but you know me and my carbs. :)
ReplyDeleteYes I do, but I find it really is the only way I can control my weight. I love Carbs too, but obviously my body does not! Brian's been very good about trying to help me out this time and trying to limit his as well.
