Hi Anita
Congratulations on your first child. I gained with each pregnancy. Also many of us are in your position...40 lbs. to lose. Even without a baby. Great you caught it while you were still under 200 lbs. People have all kinds of ways to re-lose, but it usually is slower than we want. I am a believer of keep what I don't want to eat out of the house. It is hard enough when I am out. You will find what works for you. take care, Tri

Good morning Botts:
Yesterday the surgeon told me I have 2 more weeks of non weight bearing on my foot. My stitches are out and the incision is intact. I have house guests over the next 2 weeks. They are easy going people that don't mind a little dust. It will be nice to have people around the house. Have a great day everyone.

Today was a tough day. I did it without sugar. Huge victory! The weight is really coming off slow. I lost 5 1/2 pounds in 2 weeks. My calories are between 500-800 a day. Mostly on the low side. I will keep going forth. At least I am going in the right direction.
Wishing everyone success in staying BOTT.
The Mayo clinic ... has been pushing the whole "natural carbs": for years if not decades.. I bought that a few years ago... that put me over 250..and needing RNY...
newest study suggest lower carbs - more fat- moderate proteins are the key. Plus IF. Intermittent fasting.
When i started the IF - I did that for my gut- my IBS.. at the same time - my weight just dropped ... Ia m not eating less calories.. just different - more fat and more real foods...
I eat during 8-10 hours in every 24 hour window. Not only My A1C dropped from 5.5 to 5.1.. and I dropped to where my doc told me not to lose anymore weight...(I still dropped 2 lbs - trying to stop losing)
I eat nuts, nut butters (NSA) bacon, eggs, coconut, non starchy veggies, pork rinds, and .. some berries...
I am now increasing berries to stop the weight loss..
I don't eat grains or starchy veggies...- due to IBS- they can really cause a lot of pain. Dairy - I am allergic.. so try to stay away from that also..
I eat late at night- app 8-9 pm.. then don't eat until at least 12 next day... I push non calorie liquids in the morning...

hugs.. sorry you are struggling...
I am finally (a year???) at goal and below... the last 5-10 lbs took me app 6 months to lose and stabilize my weight....
