I am here too for reasons that people get very cranky over my posting about healthy foods, working out and losing weight on facebook. I don't get that, in all reality shouldn't you be glad someone is doing something about their health? So, yes.... I came here so that I could have a network of people who are goal oriented in the same manner as myself.

Ew I hate healthy food.

Then what do you eat to stay fit? BTW, I did catch the sarcasm :laugh:

I eat a lot of cookies. True story.

Is it weird that even though I am trying to shed fat, that the scale didnt budge for a good two weeks while eating a low carb diet... then I ate a nutty bar and the next morning I dropped a pound? lol

Not weird whatsoever, weight loss ain't linear

All in moderation right?

Thats your body saying "wtf give me carbs because they're a readily available energy source, delicious, and will not have a negative effect in weight loss assuming you have no medical reason to avoid them and remain in a deficit."

Not a full-time medical reason, I know doesn't make sense. When I was pregnant I was a gestational diabetic even though I was of average size and didn't eat crap.... I wasn't diagnosed until very late in my pregnancy so it was uncontrolled and I gained 70 pounds, so when I had my daughter and it came time to lose the weight.... nothing worked but the diet plan the nutritionist put me on the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy. Which was very low carbs. only 15 in the am and then gradually worked up to 25g during the afternoon and at dinner. SO, I am assuming that even though I am not diabetic when not pregnant that my body controls carbs poorly.

When I was cutting I was eating like under 100g carbs a day, but I'm trying really hard to actually reach the 35% a day it gives me now.

Nice, yeah I am reaching at about 70g a day. Its worked for the first 41 pounds but slowing. Also, could be seeing it slow down since I now have less to lose.

1.5 pounds a week would be acceptable with 40 pounds to go. then 1 pound with 20 to go, then 0.5 pounds with 10 to go

Well I started back up on Jan 7th again after a small holiday break and lost from then til now 3 pounds. So, I guess I am on track. I am just use to seeing 2-3 pounds in a week since I started from 212... And no I never starved myself... lol

I friend invited me here around the new year. She hasn't been on in 15 days.

And I'm just really *kitten* bored. People get mad and catty when I try to share my progress on FB. I get virtual high fives here. So I'm staying.

Hey uh. You know if you need support Zach and I have a tiny chat and uh...we'd be glad to discuss your goals and dreams and observe your progress.

Just saying.

I'd highly recommend this option.

I keep hearing that we're all here for the same reason but I'm thinking that's just a vicious rumor someone started to try and make some other poster feel bad. It was probably followed by an accusation of bullying. With that in mind I find myself curious: what are we all here for?

I'm here to post gifs and drop sarcastic quips whenever possible. Sometimes I log my food, but it's mostly aimless forum cruising.

How about you?

I came to track food and exercise in the hopes of losing weight.

Then I got to know all you bullying meanies so now I'm just here for the one-liners and the gifs.

Tracking food and Calories burned accurately, meeting people with similar goals, and socializing and making a fool out of myself on the forums.

To find that special woman to call mine. Any takers?

I'm here to check in with my MFP friends, offer what encouragement I can, log my workouts, but mostly just to play on the forums when I'm bored at work, which happens often (as may be evidenced by the number of posts).
