Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I know I have been MIA the past couple days again. Just haven't felt like being around much. I'll try to get to sharing more interesting stuff, I am sure these aren't that interesting to most.... Anyways; Last I shared that I had got down to 18 pounds lost. Then, I had carbs so my weight has gone up a bit, but I know I will lose that again and see a new low on the scale soon. Anyways - What have I eaten the past couple days? Saturday (9/12) Meal 1 - 4 oz salmon, 7 lil' smokies, 2 slices of cheese and some butter Meal 2 - 7 oz petite sirloin steak cooked in butter Macros -- 1,382 calories, 4 carbs, 115 fat, 79 protein Sunday (9/13) Meal 1 - Chocolate protein shake 2 cheese sticks turkey deli meat Meal 2 - more of the deli meat Wasn't as hungry this day, so didn't eat much Macros - 580 calories, 17 carbs (minus 6 fiber), 24 fat, 72 protein Today (9/14) Meal 1 - 6 oz london broil (top sirloin) cooked in butter Meal 2 - lil smokies sausages with s/f barbecue sauce Meal 3 - 5.5 oz salmon with some butter Macros - 1,494 calories, 6 carbs, 124 fat, 84 protein I know, it seems like a lot of calories and fat. I still hope that I can lose weight with this style of carnivore. I am focusing more on fat for fertility. Fat is what regulates hormones, and I believe that may have been part of my struggle the past 2 years. So we'll see if the scale moves down again with this, if my blood sugar stays good, and if I conceive in the next couple months.

18 pounds is no small thing, that's real progress even with the little bumps. Sounds like you're eating good food and listening to your body, that matters more than the number some days. Hoping the next couple months bring you good news.

well sadly now it is more like a little under 16 pounds....but still that is a start. Just wish it would keep moving. Well I probably shouldn't have the sausages, they are probably holding me back...but it is hard to always come up with a new meal idea.

Try not to get discouraged if it takes a little longer than you think to conceive. You know how it is when we really want something; we’re forced to be patient. Who thought patience was a good idea.

@MommyOfEli2013 Yeah, but you just started being kinder to your body now. Maybe that will hasten everything, hopefully.

It's already taken over 2 years. I am out of patience. Who ever thought of patience was rude lol

@AmbiePam I know, I really should have started this 2 years ago. I regret that. As well as being on birth control for 10 years. But can't change the past.

@MommyOfEli2013 With how many cheat days you have had it is going to be slower

@wolfgirl569 Well I thought once every 2 weeks would not hurt things. I was very wrong. I got to try to not have carbs for at least 60 days. Not sure how that will work with 3 birthdays coming up in that time frame. I usually make the cake/dessert for everyones day

@Ineeddentures It's not been a good vacation? Bus rides are horrible, that is for sure. Especially if you are on one for 20 hours before like I did. Hope it is not bad though like you are dreading...
