Hi all! This is my first forum post even though Ive been a MFP user for years. My stretch will be to exercise 3x/wk. Wish me luck!

You've received some good advice here! Don't worry about blowing induction, Ketostix, etc. Just count your carbs and the pounds lost! Life is stressful enough as it.

Today I am having salami, cheese and 10 olives. Yum! My usual though is a salad with last nights protein.

Definitely get what you are saying! :-) I'm 56 with 40 lbs to drop.

Breakfast: 2 over easy eggs on LC toast, 2 sl bacon, 1/4 apple Lunch: Chicken salad Dinner: Fajita beef, cheese, guacamole, sour cream on a bed of lettuce Snack: almonds

Open faced BLT on Low carb bread! Delish!

I had never heard of the Slow Carb method. However, my weigh in day is Friday morning and I would have a "cheat meal" on Friday night. If I weighed myself the following morning, I would find a 2-3 lb gain, but by the next Friday, I would be back in the negative and show a 1-2 lb drop from my last weigh in. Having said all…

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, sausage, raspberries Lunch: Burrito with Cream Cheese (recipe below) Dinner; Chicken salad on greens Snack: celery stuffed with Skinny Cow Cheese Burrito with Cream Cheese 1/2 c cottage cheese 1 oz cream cheese 4 fresh strawberries 1 lg tortilla, La Tortilla Factory, low carb The night before,…

LMBO! Never thought about it that way!

Awesome! You look like a completely different person!!

I am going to continue with what's worked so far. Low carb eating and workout 5-6 x week. I alternate Chalene's Turbo Jam with 45 minute walks for my workouts.

Never EVER weigh in after exercise! You muscles are pumped and full of fluids....and that's always worth a couple of pounds. As someone else said, its best to weight yourself after 8 hrs of sleep, after you urinate and before you swallow anything!

Awesome!

You look amazing! Keep at it!

You think youre depressed now? How are you going to feel when you quit, gain that weight back and then look at all the time and effort you wasted? Get over it, it's just a number! You have lost 39 freakin' lbs!!! Dwell on that number instead! Nobody ever ask you what your bodyfat percentage is. They want to know what you…

Great job! You are an inspiration!

Girl, you need to get a new mirror! You look fabulous!!

What an inspiration you are!!

the first couple of days on Induction, my energy level was pretty low and it was difficult to get thru my workouts. But when my body started using fat for energy, things got a lot better. Just make sure your fat intake is high. That's what your body burns instead of carbs for energy.

Way to go!

Once per week.

I am winding up my 3rd week of low carb eatting. The key to succeeding in this is VARIETY! I usually eat the same breakfast of eggs, cheese and sausage, but I try to shake up lunch and dinner to keep boredom from setting in. Salads with meat and cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad are few of my favorite lunch meals. Steak,…

You are looking good! Keep up the good work! Just out of curiosity, how tall are you? You look very slim to weigh in the 190's. Gives me hope that I might like pretty good at your weight! ;-)

Turbo Jam!

Been there, done that. Not interested at all.
