I'm interested! This might be the kick in the pants I need to get started again!

@carom Yes evidently emojis are the devil to MFP! @kathrout1973 I admire your ability to do ZC. I try and keep mine below 30 carbs and even then I find it difficult. @jwlodge Sometimes it is the NSV that you have to take instead, but good luck on your goal! You are definitely in the right place for support!

@carom - it happens, don't beat yourself up. Your body is doing that for you. The important thing is that you are totally focused and moving forward! You are my hero!!! @kathrout1973 - welcome aboard!! You're among friends!

@sherryrichie I'll have to look into the Happy Scale app! I am up for anything that helps me stay on track!

Thought I would join in the conversation.... Most days I stick to below 30 net carbs but on days that I am going to the dojo (3+ hours of martial arts), I don't adhere to it as much and will go up to 75 total carbs because I know that I will be working it off under the watchful eyes of Master Haney. I do allow myself what…

@cadori what a great idea. I think I will create a chart that will help me figure out those rewards!

Good morning here from sunny Florida!! Actually it is very nice weather outside, too nice to be stuck inside my office - but gotta pay those bills baby! @GinNJuice75 I also have a bad back and asthma and there is nothing worse than for my body to not be able to do what my mind says it can. Just ease into it and slowly you…

As I expected I went overboard at a friend's birthday party over the weekend, but I sort of expected it and allowed it to be my treat day. Sunday though, I woke up and started again. Today, after putting all my food in, I will be at 13 net carbs and a little over 1,000 calories. Glad to see that everyone is doing well.…

Well today is going to be a relatively high carb day for me - just under 50. I made this huge batch of garlic chicken and rice to freeze for quick grab me meals on workout days. I guess when I made my lunch yesterday I didn't close the freezer all the way. This morning I went to grab some chicken (one meal) and realized…

I tried to post this yesterday but I am having computer issues evidently! Hey, got room for one more? I could use a good challenge to get me going! I am living the low carb lifestyle and so far it is working for me! I try to stay below 50 carbs a day right now because of the martial arts classes I take - about 3.5 hours a…

TBH - I just started tracking my weekend foods. I call them my cheat days but I started letting them get way out of hand - now I track weekends too. As for confession 2, been there. We had a co-worker pass away unexpectedly and although we all mourned her loss, I started positioning myself to take over her job. It seemed…

If you have in house bakers, aren't you throwing away business to recommend a grocery store cake??????

I do too. My ex's daughter is overweight (comes by it honestly, dad is too) and she is starting to see how her weight is a detriment to her - sports, school dance, activities in general - but then I see snapchats of her eating her chicken nuggets with ranch, large fry and coke or the waffle with a HUGE amount of toppings…

I go every other Sunday (but only if I make it to church that day) as my treat day. My fav is the Peanut Buster!!!
-
OMG!!!! I totally have totally done the same thing. I will also claim I have an appointment - and I guess I do - at the movies. But I have to go to the one way across town so no one will see me. Other times, I actually schedule leave so that I can go do a mini marathon of movies.... Haven't done that in a while, need to do…

I almost didn't go to a dear friend's memorial service because I am so much bigger now than I was the last time I saw a lot of the people I knew would be there. I did go and you know what - I'm glad I did. I was able to celebrate her life with other people who loved her and who were as touched by her as I was.…

My confession is that I don't know what I like to do. My world was taking care of my daughter, she's grown and I seriously have no clue what I am interested in and no idea of how to figure it out.

Awesome! it is stories like these that help me keep my eye on the prize.

That is awesome! Congratulations on your achievement and enjoy the moment.

I completely agree. In fact, I have only told people that I am thinking of getting back into the gym after my daughter's volleyball season ends so that I will have something to do and get into better shape. The only reason I said anything was because I was getting tired of all of the questions "what will you do when…
-
First of all WOW!!! Whoo Hoo!!!! Keep it up you are rocking! Anytime a shirt or outfit is looser is a total win! Second, forgive my ignorance but does NSV mean Non Scale Victory? I'm new and the acronyms are somewhat confusing at times.

Honey, I KNOW what you mean. I am terrified of the dentist, but I made an appointment and went, after they called in some Valium for me. I was terrified and couldn't relax, but I did it. And you can too. The dentist may say something to you, mine did to me, I sort of laughed it off and said that I had been terrified of his…
