    Higher protein intake along with fats tend to keep a person fuller longer. Do you find your appetite changing as you go through your monthly cycle ? Mine would go from non existent to ravenous -can't get -enough as I would get closer to my period. Congrats on your consistent weight loss !!!

    Hello all, I've been "carb cycling" for a couple of months now. I started just doing a very low carb diet but found I have more success/sustainability if I let myself have one or two days that are higher than the rest. Feel free to add me as a friend! 28 year old in Seattle.

    I figure if I can eat clean for at least 80% of my week...I'm doing good. The tuna patties really hit the spot tonight -
    Megan are you weighing in tomorrow ?

    Megan - today's your low day ..... Work it sister !!

    Laura - Well done on the celebration last night!....have fun at the wedding , and hopefully you get time to put some sweat calories on the board !!

    Tiffany and logdog, What are your plans this weekend ? Hope you have a good one !

    As for me, I'm working in my perennial flower garden today. I had a NSV. Moment this morning- I woke up really craving these special pancakes that are served at local restaurant...it has bacon, brown sugar .... Sigh..... It would of really set me back...I was so tempted !!!!!! But I dug into my leftover tuna patty instead .

    My weekend plans are to enjoy my recording of Extreme Weight loss, work out and also get some much needed rest. I already went to the gym and walked on my treadmill to get 10,000 steps. Now I can relax until my reward meal tonight. I've logged everything and if I can burn 2,000 calories today I will eat at maintaince. I am now in the 150's so the weight is slowly coming off. Tomorrow will be back to a low carb day. Have a great weekend everyone!
