I did Wednesday's journal this morning and just finished todays.
I've been journaling every day since I got here. I like the interface and this place much better than fitday or whatever else I used over the years. It's oddly addictive....0 -
How's everyone doing today??
I need all the motivation I can get for the next 6 days y'all! I've been in a biggest loser weight loss competition for the last several months, and the final weigh in is next week. I need a loss of at least 3 lbs to win. and I really want to win! it's a 100$ prize and i'm using that money to get my hair done. plus the girl who is neck to neck with me has been taunting me all day saying she knows that i'm a stress eater and she's just waiting on me to mess up..etc..etc..i hear it all day. yes i'm using that as motivation! i want to beat this girl! I'm eating as clean as possible everyday, drinking lots of water, and working out everyday. So y'all keep a check on me! and i'll take any advice and suggestions y'all have!0 -
Good Luck Miss Kim! 3 lbs in 3 days-you can do it, maybe you could look at ways to lose water weight, it might temporary but that's 100 bucks. Don't let that girl psych you out:)
I have been almost two weeks without flour, sugar or booze and tomorrow is my friends wedding so I am gonna splurge and have some wine. For dinner I ordered the island chicken, but now I am wishing I ordered the steak but it came with trout and I knew that would be a waste for me-can't do the river fish! anyway, DH ordered that so maybe he will give me a bite!
Today there was a party for a co-workers graduation and there was a chocolate mousse cake and brownies and cookies but I've been tempted with worse so I declined. Next week I am going to try 90% compliance, but I am getting good at this!0 -

So I went out for my friends graduation and I drunk 3 shots of vodka. I know that I shouldn't be having LQ while in the induction phase but vodka has no carbs so do you think it will knock me out of ketosis??0

I'm still hanging in there but this has proven to be a difficult lifestyle change for me. I am so used to a low-fat high-carb diet it is hard to change my whole mindset. Especially during the week it is so much easier to grab a yogurt and a lean cuisine than make something primal/paleo/low carb.
Can you all please share what you do for work/school lunches? Do you have any quick and easy ideas? I work for 12 hour shifts so I usually take breakfast (I work at 6 am and can't eat at home beforehand -- too early), lunch, and an afternoon snack. Those are usually greek yogurt/oats/fruit, a lean cuisine/cheese stick/orange, and some type of protein/energy bar. I am looking for healthy substitutions.0 -

It takes a long time to adjust, I know that, I'm just now getting around to sticking to it. I always did good, and then messed up on the weekends! but trying is better than quitting
I only work 8 hr shifts, but I just take leftovers from dinner I made the night before. Or we grill out, like we did yesterday, and we eat on that stuff for several days. steaks, chicken, pork chops, shrimp, fish, and veggies. also, you can buy pre-made salads with chicken on them if your just desperate (i'm sure it'd be better to make your own) but they cost about the same as a lean cuisine would cost ya, and way better for you!!! snacks i eat boiled eggs, jerky (i know the store bought stuff isn't great, but better than chips!, i'm thinking about trying to make my own), almonds, pickles, olives, cheese (i still eat cheese). but one thing i've found out since eating primal is you don't want snacks as often b/c your not hungry as often. If I eat a good breakfast with lots of fat and protein, I don't get hungry again til lunch. same with lunch. Salads tend to make me hungry a couple hours after, but i"m sure it's b/c I need more fat/protein in my salads. Just hang in there girly! If you are buying pre-packaged stuff just keep an eye on the carbs/sugar. 0 -

Hey there! I am new here!
I live in Europe but I am originally from the US (my husband is danish).
I was using another program, but it had problems. So I switched to myfitnesspal. This is why you cannot see my actual weight loss on my ticker! To date it is 63 pounds!

For lunch I tend to plan my meals ahead. I will just make and pre packaged them in the fridge on Sunday nights. I have done tuna lettuce wraps with sugar free jello as dessert. Or chicken ceasar salads. I have also made a big batch of hot bufflo wings and put blue cheese on the side and have it with a small salad. This usually keeps me from feeling hungry. I've been able to stay on this diet and stay within my calorie count because I dont eat so often.
Hope the suggestions help. May be it would be beneficial if we all just put up some of our favorite low carb recipes0 -
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm determined to keep my carbs below 100 this week. I'm even going to change my parameters to reflect that.
Do you guys have custom settings for protein/fat/carbs? How do you have them set?0 -
Mine are set to 30/30/40 protein/carbs/fats, that does not keep carbs under 100 for me, but it seems to be manageable for me.Thanks for the suggestions! I'm determined to keep my carbs below 100 this week. I'm even going to change my parameters to reflect that.

I'm more into keto right now b/c I don't do that much cardio and I have plenty of fat left to lose, so mine is set at 10/30/60 carbs/protein/fat0

i want in on this group. I will be working towards 100 grams of carbs a day and if all goes well will try to go lower.
