Thank you soooooooooo much.

Yup..that is what I am doing. I got in the 123's so this is my second day of cutting for that. Already back down to 122.1 which is the low end of the middle of my 5lb range. I like to stay between 121.5 and 122.5. I have gotten in the 124's but cut immediately and it is back down the next day. This is kind of fun but I…

Thanks so much everyone. I have to admit it is kind of weird to have 3 days in a row WAY above what I think my maintenance is and still stay well within my 5lb range. I am enjoying the HECK out of this...lol. I have yet to do any exercise at all but am trying to get my lazy butt in gear to do something.

Thank you so much bullrider. I have to admit, I am sooooooooo lazy when it comes to exercise but I will find something I can hopefully enjoy.

I actually just reached my goal weight a few weeks ago so all this is pretty new to me.

YES...this. This is exactly how I am doing it. My range is 120-125. My body keeps going back to 122 something. I ate over 2000 calories yesterday and almost as much on Saturday and I am sitting right at 122.4. I can eat VERY little though and it is rare that I get to and stay at 120 or 121 something. I guess my body has…

Whatever works for ya. I don't have any food "addictions". I can eat 1 cookie without feeling the need to go back for more or go on a donut binge...same with salty snacks. I can measure out an ounce of Cheeto Puffs or Doritos and be totally satisfied. It probably helps that I don't have any health issues that even requires…

I am 5'3", 47 years old SW on Aug 12, 2016 was 204lbs GW was 130 CW 122 I think I am done but am freaking out. The smallest I was in my 20's was a 7/8 and now my size 4's seem to have too much room so I think I am just going to do some toning of my butt since that seems to be all I need and just see where I end up.

You are 115lbs and freaking out? I agree. Seek some help.

I am so glad this thread came up. I have been staying so low carb that I have little appetite and am not eating enough. I was feeling great but lately have been feeling icky. I always feel better when I can eat a small baked potato with my steak or even a piece of toast with breakfast with cream cheese on it. I WANT so bad…

I have been really successful staying low on fat. Protein satiates me so I don't cook everything. My protein is always higher than my fat.

I actually have a 4 ounce baked redskin potato once or twice a week and it does not cause me any cravings but it REALLY fills me up for many hours.

I had mine out a couple years ago after the attacks became more frequent...they always hit in the evening and lasted several hours...pressure, pain radiating around to my back...couldn't sit still...couldn't get comfortable and the only thing that seemed to help a little during an attack was extreme heat so I would soak in…

I am 47 and 5'3". Started at 204.5 lbs on August 8th, now 159.8 Original goal was 150 but would really like to get to 130. Feel free to add me.

SW - 205 on Aug 8, 2016 CW - 164 GW - 150 originally but am thinking about continuing to 130. 3 1/2 lbs lost in the past 5 days after very small losses for the past few weeks.

I am usually under 25 carbs and I figured tomorrow at 137. I know that 1 meal will not hurt me so I am having my mashed tatos, stuffing, corn and roll with my turkey. There is also a pasta dish that is family tradition but I am having a cup of that and 1/2 cup of the other sides and we don't do dessert so sugar isn't an…

I am lucky...not a huge pasta person or cereal or sugar except for the Coke I had to give up and switch to Coke Zero. My big one is POTATOES....Every single way you can possibly prepare a potato I LOVE. I could live on potatoes, meat and cheese.

First I just watched calories and made sure I didn't go overboard on the fat. I realized I was not really eating a ton of carbs so tried to actually stick with it...first under 75...then under 50 and now I am trying under 20. The thing I like about low carb is I am not hungry. I eat lunch and dinner and rarely snack. I…

DAMMIT...Now I keep running to the door to see if my Amazon order had gotten here yet. 3 bags of sugar free reese cups and 3 bags of sugar free hershey and hershey filled with caramel bars.

My pattern is I usually stall for 2-3 days then lose a pound or so and then a couple more days of 1/2lb or so. At least I have never gone up except for a half a lb now and then but it is always gone the next day. The 3 day stalls are annoying enough. I need to stop weighing every day but I CAN'T!

Private Selection at Kroger also has a line of low sodium lunch meats. I don't bother though since I am doing low carb right now and more salt in the diet is needed for that apparently.

I live in what I consider a safe neighborhood but being a woman I always feel uneasy trying to walk in the dark. I don't blame you one bit. It is better to be safe than sorry and it is a lot easier for a man to act like it isn't a big deal. He doesn't have to worry about getting raped. I haven't walked for a month because…

I think it all depends on you and if carbs make you crave more. I hit a milestone yesterday and I had my burger on a bun for lunch as well as 2 loaded potato skins. It didn't cause me to want more. I just enjoyed it and moved on. Back on track today with no ill affects so far. I have learned one thing since being here.…

Every grocery store has different brands of the low cal bread They are in the individual sections so the low cal wheat is with the other wheats...just look around really good.

Check out NIckels 35 light wheat and light white...almost the same stats.

supergal3. The bread I buy is Healthy Life and they have a few different kinds. Each kind is with the other brands in that particular section. I like the whole wheat the best...it isn't as dry as the white and is even better as toast because in that case it doesn't matter if it is a dry bread. I shop at Kroger but I am…

LOL...I used my hubby as my disposal. It has worked out well. I can take a bite of something bad for me and then hand the rest off to him.

If anyone wants to add me, please feel free. I would love some more low carbers on my friends list as long as you don't get mad at me because I am not a strict under 20 although half the time I do come out under 20

I haven't encountered it here in this group but in the regular forums.. That is one of the reasons I sought out this group and decided to give it a try. I am soooooooooo glad I did.
