Just wondered if anybody else is on a low-carb eating plan, like me! I have a hard time staying away from the cakes and icing because I can't have sugar...How do you cope??

With GREAT difficulty. I have put on 20 pounds since January (when I started baking and decorating) and had lost 80 pounds last year. I even won the Curves challenge last Christmas and the challenge was to NOT gain any weight during the month of December. Not only did I not GAIN any weight in the month of December I LOST 10 pounds! Now I am struggling to get this 20 off. Any tips would be appreciated!

I just find that eliminating sugar and refined whites really helps me. I had my last baby two years ago and haven't had an easy time of losing the weight. I only have about 15 lbs to go, but I've been struggling. It doesn't help that I'm surrounded by sweet stuff all the time!

Yup,

Just found out a couple of weeks ago I'm heading towards insulin resistance so I need to loose weight and count calories and carbs! uugh esp. for a carb addict like me. I chew gum and drink hot tea (or other no-cal beverage you really like) while baking/decorating. Then get it out of my house (or at least out of sight) fast!!

Good luck
