I have lost 6.5 lbs since 5/3/2013 and some days my counts on calories and carbs are a tad higher. I had hit a plateau and am glad something is working. Since I started tracking calories instead of just tracking carbs, I realize how high my calories must have been! I would not have been shocked to learn that they were close to 3000 per day! I do around 30-40 grams of carbs daily and now have finally broken the 150 mark! Love MFP!

Funny you should mention that. It's taken me years of going low carb then low calories, then low carb, then low calories. Finally, I understand that i will never be able to eat "anything I want" even if it is low-carb. Calories do count. So does what you eat. And, the balance between the two are different in every person.
Wow - yeah, I'm not a quick one. :-)0 -

Wow, Debra!
Glad something is finally working for you. BTW< How jealous does it make you to see others polishing off a pizza followed by a banana split without gaining a pound? I feel like I am surrounded by those types, LOL!!!:explode:
You are ssooooo right when you say, we cannot eat whatever we want, ever again. That is, if we want to look and feel good!:smooched:0
