Dieting isn't fun!

Today I am starting a low-carb diet. I have a friend who has had success and lost 20 lbs with following something simlar to the south beach diet. First two weeks I have to only eat meat, eggs and cheese. Then after 2 weeks I can add green veggies. It will be hard to stay away from sweets, potatoes and fruits but I got to try it! I have tried weight watchers and it has been successful in the past but I am just tired of counting points and having to carry about the books. I knew I had to do something when my 4 year old daughter ask me why my belly is big..thinking I am pregnant! Kids you gotta love 'em! My goal is to lose at least 15-20 lbs that I gain when I went back to school. I would love to lose about 30lbs or so and be proud to be in a bathing suit this summer!
