Please remember...your body is not like a computer. Your body does what it does with what it has. Just because you ate on plan and EXPECTED a 2 pound loss doesn't mean it was going to happen. Don't let this derail you or let a number on the scale dictate how you will feel for the rest of the day. Brush it off, see if you…

I have a food addiction that comes and goes. Keeping myself on a plan really works. But on those days where I feel I am going to go off the deep end.....I eat pickles. The sour salty pickles really keep me from wanting anything sweet. And you need to get that candy at work out of your life. If you buy it-stop. If its on…

I'm using MFP suggestion of 1200 a day. Some days I go over by a little , sometimes I am a little below. I've been losing almost a pound a day since I started!

How do you do salad with no dressing? LOL I need something...even if its a trace amount. Anyways....I actually don't worry about sodium too much....I consider Subway salads healthy if you choose the right thing. Heck, I pack my own lunches 99% of the time and use a deli turkey for my sandwich, so what the difference? In my…

Here's a good trick. Eat something salty. I usually go for Dill Pickles. Low in calories and I NEVER want something sugar after something like that. I am an all or nothing type person so I can not just have a little bit to 'satisfy'. One is too many and 100 is not enough! Dill pickles are my friend. I have at least 3…

Don't let this upset the rest of your day. I know how easy it is to just say "Forget it" and just totally blow it because you already did so and start fresh. The damage is done, you learned how wonderful donuts taste but how bad they are for us and now you move on. Tonight, if you feel like eating, go light. If you don't,…

Welcome Bobby! I am new here too and so far it's been real easy keeping track of my intake. I need to work on my exercise but I seem to have a handle on the whole calorie counting thing! There are a lot of nice people here. I hope you get the support you need!!!

While low carbings, full fat items are best. Non fat and low fat items are made with more sugar (hence more carbs) because the original fat is taken out. Cheese has practically no carbs if its the full fat, but you should still limit your servings to 4 oz a day.

I agree with the bags of tuna, but watch out for the fake crab.....its made with tons of sugar and your carbs will add up big time!

Hi!! With low carb, you need to give it a full 2 weeks to get the jist of how its going to work for you. I have read what you lose the first two weeks is roughly 10% of what you eventually need to lose. So if you don't have a lot to lose, you won't lose a 'ton' the first two weeks. I lost 90 pounds on Atkins and kept it…
