    Ate only when hungry :'(
    Ate until satisfied :'(
    The scales inched up a pound as a direct result of not following these goals. I’m often not that hungry around dinner time but feel I should eat something or will get hungry late. I have to figure out this balance....

    No weight loss on the horizon yet. But better sleep. Much less stomach pains. Somewhat better energy. Next step will be to reduce the carb intake on the good stuff e.g. coleslaw, pistachios, vegennaise.

    Hey ya'll! I'm new to these boards and looking forward to connecting as well as gleaning from each of you how to be successful with this new lifestyle. I've been a yo-yo from 220 lbs to 283 lbs for the last ten years. Currently at 282 lbs as of last Friday's weigh-in, I want to get down to around 115. I am 5 ft. 1 in. and 115 is mid-way on my BMI scale. I'd love to aim for 20 carbs a day but not sure that is realistic for me yet. I've been doing good to get 36 - 50 a day so far. Been trying to live this lower carb life for a while now but I just love food - Mexican food!! I was going 50 - 100 carbs and have worked down to the current level so eventually 20 carbs a day might be doable. I refuse to be diabetic and it runs in our family!! If I can just continue to find ways to get my Mexican food tastebuds satisfied on low-carb life will be good!

    Goals for 1/22 - 1/28:
    1 - CARBS: Stick with my 36 carbs a day.
    2 - WEIGHT: Weigh-in Friday - Shed 2-3 pounds (I've gained at each of my last two weigh-in).
    3 - EXERCISE: Go to AquaZumba 1 time this week (been a year since last exercised).
    4 - WATER: Drink enough water daily.
    5 - SLEEP: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

    New thread wasn't up until yesterday evening. It's not easy to trick this platform to c&p things when stuck on the app. :angry:
