Lisa Clifford - feel free to add me

Anyone can Feel free to add me too! Need motivation! Lisa Clifford

I would love to add you but I don't know how!

I think I fixed it but now I can't find it. Whatever you give me the answers I needed! thanks! have a great day!

Ughh it's too early apparently for me to be in front of the keyboard. Yes I meant 6 Pounds!! Lolol. If I gained 6 ounces after this weekend I call it a win! Got to go figure out how to edit that

Thanks! I'll hold off on buying the new scale lol! I've just never had such a leap and I've lost almost 40 pounds so far - so thought I had this figured out but apparently not

I just realize that my original post was cut off, and I provided a lot more info originally. I currently stay under 1200 cal a day and keep my sugar under 20 g and my sodium under 2100. Since Friday Ive eaten fresh tortellini capris salad for 4 meals which is unusual for me because I usually don't eat flour, for no other…

Thank you! That's what's so frustrating! Im very honest with myself and my calorie/macro intake, so I stay pretty true. That's why this is so startling

Thanks for your reply! I'm 48 years old and I haven't had my TOM in three months so maybe it's a build up ha ha Ha! it's just so crazy and startling. I really haven't upped my workout routine so I wish I could blame it on that but I don't think it is. It may be sodium although I do try to keep that under 2100 g a day in my…

ETA - I removed my remarks about the other poster. It was not being helpful which is exactly what I am asking from other people. Sorry if I offended anyone. I was being bombarded with posts and I just sat and read every one = in order and my remarks were out of line. L

Ok. I was exaggerating the amount of time. Thought thatchers obvious. I too, eat clean (about 90/10) so if I'm wrong about anything I've said here, I beg of all of you "experts" try educating someone before insulting them. Now I remember why I don't EVER come to these boards.

To me -and my research, understanding and personal experience, CICO is a myth. 100 calories of a vegetable is not the same as 100 calories of say, a candy bar. There are other issues to consider. There is no fiber in the candy bar for one.. Your insulin levels are going to spike with the candy. I've never bought into that…

Thanks for the heads up!

Enjoy your day.

No, did not lower my calorie intake. Just saying that my hitting all of my macros, I'm usually under. there is a rare occasion that Im not under and thats great. I can't answer your question because I haven't been focused on my calories, I haven't changed them -but I do measure my macros by % of calories and not by grams.…

Thank you for the clear answer! I appreciate it.

I didnt realize that. I don't post much. Thanks

Hi, No way!! I love my carbs -in Moderation :) 50% (150g) of my calories are consumed in carbs. I'm no nutritionist, and this has been trial and error - but where I am at now is working for me. Edited to add: I have cut my fruit intake drastically - but have not eliminated it. I eat tons of organic veggies and grass fed…

Sugar makes you produce more insulin which throws your entire body into defense mode. I feel fab since I lowered my sugar - (it takes me 5 hours to grocery shop now (HAHA) but I read EVERY label and I must know 100 different names they use on labels to disguise the sugar in the ingredients. Good luck to you!! Feel free to…

I agree with you that 5000 calories and no sugar wouldn't do much. But i can say that after lowering my total sugar intake (refined and natural) to 20g or under, my weight loss took off. The body doesn't need more sugar than that. of course, you would have to watch other macros such as carbs and sodium...Even "Fat" content…

You wrote this almost a year ago Margie, and you have done JUST that. You are one of my biggest cheerleaders <3 Thank you!!

I LOG EVERYTHING. - Even my supplements. but I think I'm OCD! LOL The reason I log everything is to have a history of my intake (macros, etc) I have acquired food intolerances lately (at 49 years old!) and its helped my naturopath figure out what was happening with me. I also tend to break out in a rash when I eat too much…

I agree with weighIng everything however, pay close attention to your sugar intake. I stopped losing too and I'm eating 1200 calories a day. I started paying really close attention to my macros, especially sugar (it's in EVERYTHING!!) Eat less processed foods (none if possible) drink lots of water (I put lemon and…

Thanks I'm glad its not only me!

Thanks!

Lightly active

5'3, 202lbs - first weight loss goal is 170

I agree! I couldn't do this on the fly. I'm too busy during the day and I tend to just grab what's there if I don't have a plan.
