Thanks! That does make me feel a little bit better. But still - I was spoiled seeing myself drop like 3 pounds or more a week - lol - so six days with the scale not MOVING is frustrating!!!! I just texted my mom and told her to bring her tennis shoes to dinner - lol - because we are walking!! I hope that gets things moving…

Wow - add me as your friend - you could be my twin. I'm about the same weight - struggling with the exact same issue. I try to do 1200 cals a day and under 70 carbs and most days I am more around 1000 cals. I've been doing this 35 days and have lost 16 pounds, but the last 6 days I've hit a plateau and I'm so freaking mad!…

Protein Shake or scrambled egg with a slice of microwave bacon in a carb balance tortilla with salsa. Today it was breakfats in bed for Mother's Day and I had half of an English Muffin with eggs and some little sausages. I try to stay under 250 calories for breakfast.

You look amazing and I love this little story - I want this to be ME in a year! Inspired!!!!

LOL. I should probably be insulted but this made me laugh for some reason. After reading the posts since then I realize that this is one of those posts where you have to be extremely careful what you say and not assume people know what you mean. Processed foods as in Cheetos. Can we agree that Cheetos are not healthy??

This is such a silly argument. It's not just carbs or just calories. What's right for some people isn't right for someone else. A diabetic has to watch their sugars/carb intake - so in their case, a lower carb diet is best. Does that mean they can consume calories in excess - of course not. I personally watch my intake of…

You can add me too! I'm trying to lose 130 pounds - maybe more if I can manage to hit that number!

Chocolate PB2! Mixed with a tbs of almond milk! I can just mix it up and eat it off the spoon. Even better, mix it up and add in a spoonfull of fat free Cool Whip and stir that in - this is my night time snack just about every night! Cures the crave!! For my kids though - Jiff Natural. :) I was eating that one too until I…

Fabulous and inspiring! Thanks for posting! Made my day!

My diary was closed for a long time, because I was using MFP for logging only - not looking at forums or for support. Now that I'm using MFP for forums - I've added some friends and made my diary friends only. Now, if I had someone on my friends list annoying me or making snarky comments - I'd just delete them. But,…

Fabulous!! I'm on the fence trying to decide if I'm having weight loss surgery or not. I needed to read this post to hear that it can be done!! Thanks for the MAJOR encouragement!!
-
Yeah, I agree about not having a negative reaction. I've struggled with this a little. Earlier this week I had a two pound drop two days in a row. I was pretty happy - and then on the third day it jumped back up two pounds. Stressed me out! LOL But, then it dropped back down a couple days later. I agree - weighing every…

I weigh every morning, but I am trying to stay ultra focused. In the past I would weigh once a week - but I'm finding that weighing every day helps me stay focused on it and see the small fluctuations. I'm not going to stop - I don't care if it it's obsessive because I've about decided the only way I'm going to take any…

I had to be at work early all this past week and didn't have time for a good breakfast and so I was trying to get breakfast on the go which was horrible. I was super happy to be back to normal this morning. I had one scrambled egg and a slice of microwaved bacon in a low carb tortilla with salsa on top. I know it doesn't…

OH, a million things get in my way. It's been a rough week - let's go get gourmet burgers. It's been a great week, let's celebrate - out to dinner!!! I'm sick, let's have comfort food. I'm feeling fabulous - let's go out for margaritas and mexican food! LOL! This is the demise of every diet - trying not to fall into the…

Oh, and I had almost forgotten this - really the only person in my familyl that makes me feel bad about my weight is my MIL. Everytime I'm around her she tells me how my brother-in-laws wife likes her men fat. Or she will tell me "You'll be shocked when you see him, he's put on so much weight." My BIL is a big guy - as in…

The comment that stands out the most to me.... my son came home upset from school one day after I'd been in his classroom volunteering. (1st grade) He was mad at one of the little girls and he had pushed her in the mud at recess and gotten in trouble. I asked him why he pushed her - his reply "She called you 'fatty fatty…

You can add me too! I'm 37 - mom of 3 - two boys 9 and 7 and a 4 year old girl. I was a stay at home mom for the last 9 years - up until this past December - now I work from home - which is pretty much the same except now I am sooooo busy during the day and I have like ZERO down time!! I'm in Texas - I have more weight to…

I need to lose 100+ pounds! I too had been considering weight-loss surgery - but I decided to really give it my best shot and give myself another chance.
-
I was doing 40% carbs, 30% Fat, 30% Protein - because I'm insulin resistant and I need to watch carbs. I wish I could cut down to 20% carbs - but frankly I can't live like that - I'd lose it. I did change it tonight to 35 Carbs, 30 Fat, 35% Protein because the paperwork from my doctor said to eat no more than 130 carbs a…

Chocolate PB2 mixed with about a tbs of 2% milk and a little fat free cool whip. This soothes the late night snack monster.
-
Thanks for the tip! It's the carbs on the bread I'm watching so closely though - I'll explore the bread aisle and check it out! Trying to stay around 200 cals at breakfast! I did have a McMuffin this morning because I promised my kids donuts this morning - so I hit the Mickey D's across the street before I shoved a donut…

I'd love to see this too - I'm sick to death of breakfast. I'm eating one slice of microwaved bacon and one egg and one slice of whole wheat toast. I'm quite sick of it. I'd love some new ideas so I'm anxious ot see what comes up. (OH - and I'm new here - this is actually my first post - lol).
