You know back when in my thin days I always eat low carb, it just my way of life (when I starting eating like my husband is when my weight piled on FAST!)....I remember when I was trying to lose weight after my 1st child, I was eating low carb & working out and it wasn't really coming off not until after I stopped working out that I started lossing it quickly...I always thought that was weird. I did however had to start running to drop the last 15 lbs...I went for 129 to 114 in less then 3 weeks.
