@blambo61 thanks! The whoosh didn't completely stick, but I am okay with the small bump-up. I am hoping this doesn't mean 137 is a new plateau, but I hope to blast past it today by increasing my fat intake.

@tllblanksfit those look great! I have actually never made them. I think because I haven't had bread in so long because of my allergy that I really never felt I had to. Yours look really good, though, so I may try it one day.

@EstrangedTiger not crossing the line at all! @tlblanksfit Nice! Mine are turkey burgers made with pepper jack cheese in the patties! SO GOOD! You should probably get a nice drop with that big carb reduction!

This is the BEST feeling!

I don't know where today's whoosh came from, but you are right. I can't believe I was complaining at the beginning about not getting the whooshes I was expecting like I always do during the first week back on LC. It clearly didn't matter in the long run!

Day 35 (4/18): 137.6 | 17.4/26 pounds gone (going for 129 now)! Over 66% of the way to goal! Trendweight projected goal date: May 18, 2018 - I can't imagine I am only a month away from reaching goal!!!! (I removed the weight because I won't be using it anymore since I am ending at 129) OMAD Streak: 16 ~5 g total carbs I…

@EstrangedTiger you're absolutely right! I always buy my meat from local farmers or from brands that make commitments to humanely-raised animals. It is nice that these are more widely available now. And thank you for the comment! Being happy with my body is uncharted territory for me, and I am happy that I am getting there!

@dkayingram thank you! I think 129 will be perfectly good for me, and the range should also work, as I was satisfied at 132 as well! Seems like the perfect range without sacrificing my body. @tlblanksfit if you drop to 15, you will definitely lose rapidly! That's around where I'm averaging lately. I also count total carbs…

Progress, Robert! That is awesome!!!

What causes them to die? That's really sad.

Oooooh! I forgot you had an air fryer. I really need to take the plunge on that. Your meal looked great as usual!

I spent the morning examining my body and realized that there is really no way I will be comfortable at 126. I can see myself losing an additional 7-8 pounds, but there is really no where I can imagine another 12 coming from. Genetically, I have an hourglass figure, and fat drops from my face and midsection fairly quickly…

Thank you, @dkayingram! @tlblanksfit I think everyone is different! I know from last time I did LC that 50 would be more of a maintenance level for me. I don't know if it's because of maybe my height or maybe I am just that carb/insulin resistant, but I really can't have that many day in and day out and keep the weight…

@tlblanksfit I sure hope so! April GW: 140 lbs 134 lbs - I am going to attempt to kick 135's stubborn butt this month!

But I had a caesar salad with tuna salad on top. I'm estimating ~5 g total carbs. I am officially over 40 pounds down and only 1.8…

I saw a video for low carb orange chicken and the guy used diet orange soda for the sauce. I wonder if I could possibly use that drink if I can find an orange flavor instead!

You're inspiring me! I think I may try having a weekly water fast until goal since I have a rest day from planks every 5 days. Seems like a good day to fast, but we'll see. All of the bbq chicken you're having is making me jealous. I am on the hunt for a good sugar-free bbq sauce. Love me some bbq!

Oh, so you're a beekeeper! That's cool. Were you affected at all by that honeybee shortage last year? How much honey do you harvest every year?

Are they breaded (I can't really tell by the pic, but they look like they are)? There isn't a Walmart near me, but I would make the trip! If not, I may get some of the S&V rub from B-Dub's and make my own so I can avoid the wheat and carbs :p

So happy to hear from you. Speedy recovery <3

I totally forgot to star this thread! I have made some decent progress, so I am going for goal by Memorial Day! CW: 139.2 CGW: <130 (with a possible maintenance range of 126 - 130)
