Low Carb-ers Challenge to Choose Change!

no loss no gain for me!

Thanks Sassy. I couldn't remember what it was last week. I am going to really go out there and put goal of 3 this week. I am not doing this the way I did 2 years ago....I haven't felt yucky at all like I did when I did it before. Keeping my cals a little higher, with the low carbs.

As I said yesterday I think, my company should be gone tomorrow and i will be able to post more often. Accountability is the KEY to loosing from my experience and Sassy is a GREAT ring leader!!!!

Resalyn goal for this week is 3 lbs....

My goal for next week is 5 lbs... I am gonna go big this week, see if I can manage to beat my goal again

Does everyone stick to mainly protein or do you eat things that are healthy for you but have carbs like tomatoes? I miss tomatoes so much! But I am not willing to give them 8 of my 20 carbs I am allowing myself even though i usually only eat 13 or so carbs. So what do you all do? What is a basic day for you?

P.S. Great Job this week EVERYONE!!!

Christin -

I take in only the "good" carbs - up to about 30 g. Here's an example of my daily plan:

B: Shake (Homemade protein shake, 148 cals, 1 fat, 4 carbs)
Sn: pepper strips, turkey pepperoni
L: Salad w/ some protein on top - ham or chicken, some HB egg, 1 oz cheese, etc. w/ 1 tbsp dressing, cocoa roast almonds for dessert, or sometimes a SF Jello cup
Sn: Atkins Advantage Shake
Grilled protein - lotsa lean pork, chicken, etc.
Sn: Green olives

Usually works out to be around 1300-1400 calories, 25-30 carbs..... Not all carbs are bad - just simple carbs like those found in breads - pretty much any thing "white" except for cauliflower, or anything sweet like processed cakes, etc. Your body does need carbs, but you can choose to do the good carbs or the bad carbs.

Tomoatoes would be a good carb, but since they are technically a fruit, they tend to have higher sugar content, and therefore more carbs....

Hi everyone, you should have known they couldn't keep the fiesty one away. :laugh:

Guess who's back with a new name, same game plan though..........

Friday was my birthday and Saturday was my anniversary. We had fun this past weekend.

I am going to stay low key this time around so I don't get kicked off again, LOL..........

Goodness, they don't even tell you that they deleted your account. :flowerforyou:

Please weigh me in for Monday. I weighed in this morning, official. 203.4


Y'all do know who this is, right???

I am glad to be back on here too!!

I can't believe that they deleted my account, but not anyone else. That is very disheartening as I got gang-raped, for lack of a better term.

I will not be speaking low carb to anyone outside the confines of the walls of the forums where I KNOW people are doing some type of low carb lifestyle..................

LEO I am so happy your back we missed you so much!!! I knew you would'nt leave us!!!! Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary!!!! Hope it was awesome :bigsmile:

Allen, I am so sorry about your puppy :sad:

Classic thanks for the ideas : I love peanutbutter too!!! Any special kind I should buy? I just read an article that says your body expends more energy digesting protien than fat or carbs! It says high -protein foods can delay hunger pains and bolster your energy!!! Wow So peanut butter sounds like a great food for me to eat

Mommy of 2, I might try the peanutbutter with carrots too ! but gotta i watch carbs so I need to be careful i been going over a little !!!
