I usually get around 20 carbs a day, that's what my doctor suggested. Not sure about the rest - I'm not always able to log for super accurate results so I focus on carb count on the days I can't get to a computer.

Okay, I haven't read all of the comments but the general theme seems to be eat more carbs. To answer some questions...I have PCOS and carbs are not my friend (weight wise and for medical reasons). I do have insulin resistance and high blood pressure but all of my other numbers (obviously excluding weight) are near perfect.…

I've recently ran across Dave's Killer Thin Sliced Seed Bread. It's only 70 calories per slice and I love it. Instead of being disappointed with a faux "white bread", I went the other direction and tried something completely different for the days I have to sammich on the go! It's super good with whole grain mustard and…

I'm not so much centered on a total loss number. I'm more focused on getting healthy (easing the burden on my back/knees, getting off of blood pressure meds) but if I had to put a number on it, about 145 pounds. At my heaviest I was 294.4 but weighed 284.0 at my last weigh in. I am currently not doing exercises due to a…

It's not unusual for me to eat a 300 calorie lunch and a 900 calorie dinner purely because that's when I know I like to eat. I never knew it was okay to eat heavier in the evening. How long between your dinner…

I guess maybe I'm stuck in the "3 meals a day" mentality? I never ate regularly from middle school to just a few months ago and often overate when I did get food. I thought breakfast (and subsequently spaced meals) would signal my brain that food is on a schedule and get my body into a rhythm. I didn't realize I was…

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm usually not much of a sharer and it took a lot for me to post. I hope this inspires someone else to accept themselves as they are (flaws, scars, blessings, and all) and find their inner peace. We have to struggle so much in life, why make an enemy of ourselves?

Not if you saw the underbust I had on in that pic. :o

And for the record, anyone worth their weight in salt can smell the difference between Coke and Pepsi, you shouldn't even have to taste it. :p

Definitely good ole Carolina Pepsi! A Southern girl's dream...ahhh so good!
