**UPDATED NOTE TO MY FRIENDS**

Now that I am pregnant, I have re-evaluated my eating plan. I have decided to go back to my weight watchers roots. I like their plan for breast-feeding moms that I will follow after my baby is born and I like the healthy way I can eat while I am pregnant.

Eventually, I will return to my low carb way of eating, but right now, I am going to concentrate on being the healthiest me I can be and hopefully the weightloss will follow.
