I had half a avocado, with a can of albacore tuna, and a dash of Dijon mustard mixed, with some cucumbers, and a half an orange. It was too much, but what I did eat was filling, and I did not blow my carbs. I'm in the 50-75 range. If you like tuna, you can mix Parmesan cheese, eggs, and tuna, and make a nice tuna patty. I…

I'm also trying to balance carbs. I'm doing 50-75 carbs daily, I did dip down lower, but trying to manage everything while being a vegetarian was beyond me. I've been at it for 2 weeks, just started back with fitness pal last Monday. And I'm down 9 lbs. I feel like the only way the weight will come off though, is an…

That's so funny you pose this question today of all days. I just wrote about this on my feed. I've been struggling, and discombobulated trying to figure out my day. I need to watch those carbs, and proteins, and get enough calories in. I'm shooting for under 75 carbs a day, 1200 calories...and it's no easy task. Plus I'm a…

I had green beans, coconut shrimp, a small piece of baked haddock, and a zucchini patty. Trying to watch my carbs. Somewhere in the 45-75 range is my goal, and I'm a vegetarian. It's been a challenge, but dinner tonight was filling. Anyone that would like to friend me, please do.

Wow, I guess I was being too hard on myself. I know dinner was the bomb. The calories were ridiculously low. I have conquered tofu! I had angel hair tofu pasta. I was super impressed. It has a different texture, but with all the veggies, and bit of cheese..this girl is a happy camper. Thanks for all the advice, and it all…

I have switched my creamer for almond milk. I can add a cup, which is too much of course, but I usually have a couple cups of joe, but 1 cup is 30 calories, and 1 carb. It's unsweetened, I do miss my Hershey chocolate creamer but it was not worth the calories, or carbs. I know the almond milk with chocolate flavored coffee…

I just started lowering my carbs last Monday, and I have no idea about the net carbs, but I would like to understand. I'm a vegetarian, and I'm trying to do 50-75 carbs daily. I have friends that have shed lots of weight by lowering their carbs down all the way to 20-40. I cannot imagine. lol Maybe if you love meat, but…

I have just about 67 pounds I would love to get rid of. And I just started back on fitness pal Monday of last week. I'm a comfort carbaholic, and a vegetarian. So reducing carbs, and not going hungry, has been interesting so far. I would love to follow along, and motivate others. Congrats on getting married. I've been…

I feel your pain. lol Friend me if you like, I just started back Wednesday. I hope to find a few kindred spirits to help me along too. We got this. Have a great Sunday. I always say fall down 7, get back up 8.

Another carb watcher. I'm doing the same. I never counted carbs before, I've tried reducing them, but never really taken it seriously. Oh my, carbs are all over the place. I had no clue. I've been really trying since Monday, and I started logging this Wednesday. I've started a 30 day yoga camp off of youtube, and…

I"m in the same boat. I've been struggling forever and a day. I just recently started back up, and being a vegetarian, and watching carbs...grrrrr. Not easy, but you get creative. Add me if you want, I'm usually upbeat about the whole thing, and could use a nudge, okay a shove as well. :smiley:

Hello, just started back Monday! Had some health scares, and threw in the towel, but the towel is back on...thankfully. lol Just found your upbeat post motivating, and I like the goal setting. I think my goal for this month is getting through 30 Day Yoga camp, currently on day 5. I've started some resistance exercise, push…

I would go with shrimp fajita's, with no wrap. I ask for jalapenos to kick it up. I make myself my own little nachos. Our fave Mexican Restaurant has a lower calorie section now, which helps also. Good luck, and enjoy.

I am starting all this with no thyroid. I was hyper for years, and they removed a portion of my gland, then I went hypo. Then years later I went back hyper, and they gave me the radio active Iodine to get rid of it all together. I'm on meds that keep me on the low end of normal, which seems fine with my doctor, not so…

Football is less fun to watch without a brew..lol Especially if your teams not in it, nor was even a contender. And hello! Grumpy in Ohio..lol
