    Brenda that looks like a good plan definitely let us know how it works for you. I was thinking of going LC after the new year, but the alternate day plan may be a better idea. Definitely less restrictive.

    Ha! Don't we all? No sooner than we make a plan, the plan is modified. I've made at least a hundred changes on my journey.

    What's the reason for the change to LC? Or do you just feel like it! :)

    No pasta tonight, it's going to be low carb :)

    So I believe that I have better losses if I add in a couple of high carb days during the week so I will be doing that from now on along with my splurge day weekends :)

    Did you mean if you add a couple of LC days? I do think an occasional high carb day is good also.

    Nice! I have fallen back in to low carb eating naturally - likely because it was so cold, and I wanted really rich foods. I may try out your pattern in maintenance if I decide to stick with LC. It definitely looks sustainable!

    Bob, no I meant HC days...I usually only have 1 during the week but this past week I had 2 and that was better :)

    Brenda you are doing superbly on your continued maintenance. How do you fill your days and do you have weak moments or is it just all plain routine for you now? Each time I veer off even a tinge...it's challenging for me to get it back together. I'm afraid it's never gonna be smooth sailing for me. I was effortlessly slim in my earlier life...never even knew what a diet was...and then boooom...3-5 pound accumulation year after year no matter how much time I spent in the gym. I think this body has my mind just saying "what the heck". haha...uhhhhhh :s:#
