Entering into my 4th week of Carb Cycling. I've lost 7 lbs. I feel like I am eating all the time. Like loriboris, I too take my meals to work with me so I can eat every 3 hours (which can be a little tricky, but I have managed to do it for the most part). Where I used to snack on whatever was available and then gorge…

@mrdalton, this is my first day on Mr. Powell's program. I am in no way an expert, just trying to find a program that works for me to get to my goal weight. A little background on me: I had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2008 and weighed over 300 lbs. I was unhealthy and unmotivated. Then I found a program that…

Bond Girl by Avon??? Was my absolute fav. Also, had, still have the lotion, and had the body wash, too. Yummy! Yummy! I was so disappointed when Avon discontinued it.

I'm loving Victoria Secret-Bombshell. I'm not, but it makes me feel like one. I bought my husband Calvin Klein-Euphoria. He smells delicious when he wears it!

These look so yummie! I make a similar one with spinach, but can't wait to try these. I have frozen this type of food before and take one or two out in the a.m.. By the time I get to work it's defrosted and heat up in the same amount of time. They freeze beautifully! But, you're right, they usually get gobbled up within…

This is a great idea to cut fat, calories, etc. Thanks for the tips!

BUMP!

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm starting Atkins Induction this week to get me disciplined and on track again. I know that what I have read about it, it's the best way to lose weight and keep it off.

I haven't seen all of season 6 because we don't have Shotime, Waiting for it to come out on DVD.

Me too!! But to top that, I remember typing many financial statements (I was a secretary for a C.P.A. firm when I was 19) on this lovely machine! [/quote]

This low-carber is so bumping this. Thanks for sharing!!! ***BUMP!*** :bigsmile:

Love, love! The only "real" carbs I eat.

Wow! If I go over 1,200 I feel like I ate way too many calories. Shouldn't you increase your exercise when you do this?

Actually, I do eat healthy fats. I eat a lot of eggs (good thing I like them) and switch between egg beaters and eggs, Smart Balance peanut butter, and almonds (which I tend to over indulge in:blushing: ). I need to eat more avacados, but forget to buy them. Love salmon, but it's been very expensive to buy lately. I need…

To finally lose my weight, I had to get radical so I joined a weight loss center and was under Dr's supervision. Now, I'm flying on my own...still motivated, but will always have to work at this. My husband and I joined a gym. Been tricky getting there over the last few weeks, because we both work a lot during the summer…

Yes, I try to, but I'm not perfect at it. These are incidental carbs only. Every now and then I'll eat a LC wrap or LC pita. I wasn't aware that protein is converted as sugar and how that works in the body (positive or negative). Thanks for the info. I need to do some more reading on this.

Congratulations, rushtogether!!! That's a wonderful victory! And from the looks of that special blessing in your arms, it looks like you've got a very good reason to stay sober! ;o)

Agree! I watched alcohol destroy my family as I was growing up. My dad loved his alcohol more than his kids! I never really knew him. I drank a 1/2 glass of champagne once when I was 21 and got a splitting headache. Not a good memory. I've had one or two sips of wine in my life, but honestly, it doesn't do a thing for me.…

Good question. I would say, absolutely, I am treated different. My cynical side says it's a shame that so much hinges on outward personal appearance, but it does. But, I have to confess that it feels good for people to say how good I look now after losing so much weight. People aren't going to say it if it weren't true,…

BUMP-ing!

I also limit my carbs to under 25-30 gr./day. I do not eat any potatoes, bread, rice, pasta anything llke that. I do eat the occasional low carb wrap or low carb pita. My carbs consist of incidentals (whatever is in the foods I eat and veggies. I have another 30 lbs. or so to go and then I'll eat limited fruit. I have gone…

You look absolutely fabulous! I know how life changing losing that amount of weight is. Congratulations on your success and your journey in the wonderful world of maintenance!

I weighed around 300 lbs. for so long, that I am afraid to go back to eating fast food, chips, pizza, breads, rice, pasta, french fries, etc... After losing 123 lbs. and knowing that eating low carb has worked for me to lose that weight (and will help me lose the rest of my weight and maintain my weight for life) it is…

I think in the long run, it's more expensive not to. If you are too sick to work and have to pay high medical costs...what do you think? I don't eat out a lot, because quite frankly there is very little that is good for you sold in restaurants, it's very expensive and I can buy healthy food and prepare it at home and be in…

Over the last year and 1/2 I lost 110 lbs.. My only form of exercise was, walking! Just recently I began to add some resistance training. I love walking, it firms and tones, burns fat, ramps up your metabolism, low impact on your joints, easy to do, not to mention when it's hot outside you sweat like pig (don't forget your…

Where should I begin... 1) Gossip, I can't stand it or gossipy people that are always trying to make other people look bad, so they can look good. 2) I work in a small pool of secretaries. When the phone rings there are a few that wait to answer the phone since they know I usually answer it on the second ring, unless it…

Wow! Thanks for sharing! They look amazing! BUMP!!

Absolutely, Scott! It was so easy to deceive myself into thinking I was dieting in the past, but I was in denial about so much, especially about how many calories, carbs and fat grams I was consuming daily. The scale topped out at probably close to 330 lbs. at one time. Food journaling was and remains to be a reality check…

I whole heartedly agree, "selfless". That's wonderful thing you are doing. I'm 46 and have never been able to get pregnant. Now, being in the best shape I've ever been in and working on getting off another 30 lbs. or so to get to goal, still have not been able to "close" the mommy door to life. It burns down deep inside…

Very similar story to some here...not a real fan of zombies and zombie movies. I've watched all of them with my hubby, though. Then WD comes on TV. I am absolutely hooked!! I love "Talking Dead" that comes on afterwards just as much as the show if not more. I can't wait for that show to see what all the chat is going to be…
