Stressful week and reduced appetite has lead to a 4lb loss - while I'm very happy with the loss I know it wasn't achieved in a healthy way....here's hoping it stays off! SW 175lbs 8/9/16 160lbs 14/9/16 158lbs 21/9/16 154lbs GW 150lbs

I would agree with logging. You could try logging as you would eat normally then look at where you can make substitutions. Hot drinks were an eye opener for me - I've swapped my coffee with milk and sugar for herbal tea or coffee with milk and sweetener, it all adds up. Small changes initially. Scales were another wake up…

60 days of logging! Keeping it going even when I really didn't want to

Hi OP, I can understand why you would feel that 1900 calories is low compared to the amount you were consuming before but where you were before, as you have already acknowledged, was not a healthy place. You mentioned above that you like fried food, creamy sauces etc - long term success is about finding a way of eating…

I recently gave myself a break. It started as a lack of motivation after a couple of bad days but then I decided to give myself 2 weeks rest. I still logged in to MFP, but not religiously, I didn't set a calorie goal - some days I made healthy choices, some days I didn't, regained a couple of pounds (which was mostly water…

Whoop! Back in the game! Diary is good, fluids are good and the loses are coming... SW 175 Last week 160 This week 158

I've already changed my goal. I set a new one after reaching my initial target weight but it's more of an ideal, I'll see how I feel along the way and change it if necessary depending on how I'm feeling and what I see in the mirror. I personally find it helpful to have a number to aim for but it's not set in stone.

I'm in! On a 58 day streak so far but have been stalled and half arsing things for around 3 weeks now. 100 days to New Year....where's 2016 gone?!

Hey, Somerset based, feel free to add me

Blah - have been off track for a couple of weeks now so have regained 2lbs. I've been back to my old snacking habits and giving in to temptation at social occasions (roast dinner, fish and chips, ice cream...) - I'm pretty sure a lot of it is water weight as calories have generally been within range, but it's still not fun…

I started New Atkins around 4 months ago. I've since upped my carb intake from the suggested 20g in induction to around 50g and am still losing albeit no longer strictly following Atkins principles - more generic LCHF eating I guess. In the interests of full disclosure, I was/am a complete sugar junkie and am still prone…

My favourite thing about low carb is how quick the cooking is! Steak and belly pork are my favourite meats to use. When I have time (or need to pack a lunch and use my fingers!) I roast chicken drumsticks or legs. Hard boiled eggs are good for packed lunches or quick on the go snacks, when I have time I'll make deviled…
-
You look amazing! That waist! Congratulations on your incredible transformation
-
2kg is still a good loss - 1 crop top doesn't change that! Pick an outfit you feel good in and enjoy the day....then keep logging and one day you'll rock that top
-
I got into the habit of eating eggs every breakfast and it does get pretty monotonous after a while. Occsaionally I'll eat left over dinners but some morning that's just a bit much. I find fish like mackrel or salmon is good, the flavour is strong enough that a poached egg to beef it up a bit doesn't feel quite so "eggy".…

Feel free to add me. I try to keep to under 40g total carbs/day I'm in the UK and total carbs seems to be more common here, I've never counted net. The less maths the better for me, also packaging labels in the UK show total carbs rather than net so it's easier for logging. That said, whatever works and is sustainable for…

I get this. I've been a serial dieter for most of my life. At 5ft 11 and broad I've always been "big" compared to friends etc. and have weighed everything from 10st 4lbs (a loooong time ago!) to 12st 10. Started this time at 12st 5lbs and set my goal weight at 11st 4lbs initially, then I thought about it a bit more,…

SW 175 CW 158 Only another 0.5lbs this week but had a terrible weekend food wise (I ate ALLLLL the carbs!), so pretty pleased to see any loss at all!
-
It sounds silly but large packets of anything! Once the packet is open it's fair game and I can/will/have eat(en) the lot. I've switched to buying multi packs or portioning out my bulk buys now just to eliminate the danger!!
-
Arms, face and bum first - all the places with the least to lose! Still waiting for my tummy to shrink but it will happen!
-
I never lose! typically I stay the same but this month saw a 2lb gain

Only a day late this week! SW 175 CW 158.5 GW 150 Only 0.5lbs this week but I definitely feel lighter - hoping for a bigger jump next week!
-
I eat low carb because it keeps me full and encourages me to eat a far healthier diet. I'm the calorie counter that used all my calories for chocolate and junk by lunch time and spent the afternoon hungry. Now, working on 30-50g carbs a day I might eat yoghurt and berries for breakfast, meat and veggies (mainly the leafy…

Missed a couple of weeks....and Wednesday! down to 159 from 163 a couple of weeks ago. 5lbs to my 1st goal, so close!
-
Yey! SW 175 CW 163 That's 2lbs this week and less than 10lbs from goal...I'll take that!
-
Started LCHF on June 14th... SW 175 (12st 7lbs) CW 165 (11st 11lbs) GW 154 (11st) Love this way of eating, feels really sustainable and makes watching my calories so much easier! Looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in.

I'm on day 8 and loving it so far! SW 175 (12st 7lbs) CW 169 (12st 1lb) GW 154 (11st)
