    Week #5

    Original starting weight: 273

    PW: 228.9
    CW: 230.1 TWO pounds heavier today than I was yesterday...booo.

    This is the first time I have gained weight since I joined the challenge so I can't complain too much. I'm not worried. I am exercising and keeping my calories down so I know this is just a weird blip in the weight loss trend chart. Next week will be much better.

    @CindyJNC1963 It's a normal part of the process, the trick is not letting it get to you, something I still have a hard time with myself.

    @AB0215 what is a net carb and how do you figure that out?

    Subtract fiber from carbs = net carbs

    Thank you Cindy. I’ve been reading more labels. Would I subtract both soluble and insoluble fiber?

    Exactly.
    One thing to mention, it has to be attached to that food. Like you can't eat a bunch of fiber pills during the day and subtract it from your total...

    That gave me a chuckle. Thank you. I figured as such but better to have it cleared up. Since my husband and I are just starting I think we are going to stick to just trying to keep total gms under 100 for the day and Work from there. We were a little confused because we bought Atkins bars as an alternative for breakfast and package can be a little misleading. With it staying net carbs I think 2 or 3 gms where as in reality total carb was more like 23.

    Happy Monday all!

    Had friends over this weekend and made a Zucchini Lasagna which came out amazing!!! Here’s the link if you are interested: https://www.stuckonsweet.com/zucchini-lasaga/
    I did substitute the ground beef with ground turkey and I used whole milk ricotta instead of the skim.

    I want to try this!! Sounds wonderful. :p:)

    Thanks...I wasn't sure if it needed to be attached to the food or not.

    Speaking of net carbs, I bought a few Quest bars last week to try them out. They taste great plus have lots of protein and fiber (to offset the carbs).
