I gain up to 5 pounds :-(. So much water retention, my tummy looks like a water pillow ;-)

Ive just had boullion in hot water. Takes away my salt cravings.

You sure are in the right track!!! You can do it!!! Well done

Me too! 45 and I'd like friends for accountability, sharing ideas, successes and struggles.

Im in too!!!

thank you!! For now I'm fine logging everyday, but it's good to have options for the future

Thank you Orphia! I'm trying my very best to be accurate, food scale for solids and measuring liquids. I've set MFP for 1 pound a week. I hear the first month we can loose more so I'm preparing myself to not get discouraged with the movements of the scale. I feel so good and this is the main thing. Onwards and upwards!

Thank you everyone for all the replies. I think I'm starting to understand :-). The part which is not really clear is: if it fits in my goal carbs, doesn't matter if it comes from a high sugar fruit or another food, say sweet potato or another one high in carbs but not so high in sugar? I'm not diabetic, but have…

[quote="Just_Eric; nectarines are too damned delicious.[/quote] Nectarines in summer.... I gave 24pounds to go yet and I have been feeling really good onLCHF I need to get my priorities right :-)

Thanks for your reply GaleHawkins. How do you test them? And not sure I understand the purpose? I'm very new to LC, Just starting to make my way through the pinned posts :-)

I'm aiming at 10%. So it would go over. I used to be vegan so fruit was a big part of my diet. Pescatarian now, and in the last month I don't crave sugar or carbs. I'm not craving fruit too... just miss it :-)

I used to be the same. Read a lot. Mary Solomon website, Hypothyroid mum, Izabella Wentz, Stop the thyroid madness, thyroid Uk, are some of the websites where I got to learn a lot about thyroid. After 15+ years suffering I'm finally on the mend having been prescribed T3 only. Still overweight but since finding this site,…

Phew! Thought I was alone in this!!! Addicted

How much is your protein? Seems most people ear 0.8-1g per body weight which keeps you satiated. When I craved sugar in the past I got some chromium picolonate supplements which helped me. Intermittent fasting is also supposed to help.

So happy for you!!!

Wow keep it up! You've lost some years of age as well as the weight!

Add me please! 30 to go! I have mini goals for July. But by December I'd like them all gone. And to be in maintenance :-).

@cimarrona27 oh sounds interesting! Never heard of them.

@goragon thanks I'll check it looks really nice. Congratulations again

Congratulations! Where have you recorded your stats? I like it.

@KeepRunningFatboy borrowing your affirmations!!!! I like to stick to mine for sometime till they sink in :-)

@ChasDomenici and doing just one thing at a time we will get there!

@dontgobacktosleep I read it in a loud voice and could feel the enthusiasm!!! looking good,feeling good,oughtta be in Hollywood."

@laurenebargar that's a good place to have your affirmation :-)

@sofchak so true.... friends and family support, but in the end is up to us!

@StarvingDiva I wish I had heard of affirmations when I went through my divorce! I'll check this App up. Never heard of it. Thank you

@LenGray I needed it! I'm scared of getting out of mine too. I'll repeat that to myself! Every day is a good day for getting out of your comfort zone'

@GuineaKitty love it! I'm copying it and it's in my list now. Every action I take leads me toward my desired body. You only lose the battle when you stop trying.

Loved reading everyone's affirmations. I'm still learning how to use MFP and didn't know there were replies to it

Im Just starting in this journey so I don't understsnd much. And if you're working with a PT they'd know more, but what weight loss target have you set at MFP? 3250 calories a day seems a lot for someone wanting to lose. I see you are eating much less than that though. Good luck in your journey. Patience and logging is…
