AWESOME! Hope this gets you the results you're striving for! :smile:

Welcome PlayYourCarbsRight - Plan plan plan, log log log...LOL - you probably already know this. My advice would be not to worry about following the plan rigidly. You may have to tweak your calories or your carb/protein ration to learn what works for you. I can also say that getting the eating down is the first and most…

Sorry phone acting

Maybe just a little. It seems ro make my waist appear longer but my measurements haven't changed. I'm afraid to wear it super tight or for very lo

They run about 200 per serving

I haven't had this problem yet but I would think that overall it won't matter. I think as long as you are keeping a deficit the weight will come off. I think the plan allows for higher cal on HC days because carbs tend to be higher in calories.

I don't like very many grains either. Oatmeal mostly but I do love fruit so I eat these two types of carbs on my high carb days. I also love sweet potatoes in the fall so I cant wait to add these in as well!

There's a blog today on the importance of strength training too.

Well I have a new goal. Biometric screening coming up at the end of the month. Goal is to stay on plan and keep working out in the hopes they won't tell me I'm obese. My digital scales say im overweight but not obese. The screening company basis their report on waistline measurement not scales. I've been wearing a waist…

Carb cycling got the scales moving for me! I lost a good bit the firstcou ple of qeeks and then the loss slowed to 1-2 lbs per week. But I have a hard time staying on plan over the weekend.

Laura I found those assorted nut butters you mentioned at the Vitamin Shoppe and they were on sale! I didn't get any this go around. Just the raw maple almond butter gets kind of dangerously addictive and I could see me sitting on the couch with a spoon and the jar so I put it back. :)

The butts and guts sounds intimidating and I get enough squats and ab work in body blast class. It's ironic that I enjoy these classes so much when I hated PE in school.

Im sapping my Tuesday. ZUMBA class for something called Body F.I.T.T. I know it's interval training with weights and cardio. My other option was a class called butts and guts.

We also have boards set up on pinterest for low carb and high carb meals. If you read back through the beginning of this board you will find other sources and links that will provide additional information and recipes. :)

Hi Joan and welcome! Here is a brief article about the basics of carb cycling which basically means you eat a high amount of healthy carbs along with some protein and very little fat on one day and then switch to low carbs with protein and a moderate amount of healthy fat on other days…

Hi Sarah, I scanned through some of Heidi's blogs and could only come up with a statement that the protein + carb breakfast jump starts your metabolism. Honestly I couldn't find any specific reason for the combo.

I'm in group or board Im just thankful for the support!

Hi Amber I think most of us agree that CC works when you stay on plan. We all ahve hurdles and trigger foods that get in the way occasionally. I've lost about 14lbs in three weeks. You cab also browse through bodybuilding.com for additional info while you're waiting for your book to arrive. Wishing you much success!

Congratulations Angle and happy belated birthday!

Thank you pwrfl1! I love me some Captain Jack!

Considering giving the slingshot a try next week while on vacation. I have a bag loaded with protein shakes and bars for quick meals but I'm sure we'll be eating out once a day.

Found a youtybe channel called BeFit has multiple workout videos including some by Jillian Michaels

I have an extremely hard time with my sugar addiction. Especially on the weekend, Try using some protein bars to help take the edge off. You may want to try the tip Chris Powell gave in his Choose to Lose book - Eat one tablespoon of almond butter and then wait for 15 mins. I didn't have much luck with this. I have a…

Thanks! I tossed everything from 14-16 two years ago. I went from 12 down to 8 and then started gaining it back. 8 is my favorite size so that's what I aiming for again.

I noticed my pants are a little loose tried on a pair of the smaller size that I haven't worn since 2013. They fit! Not loose enough for me to start wearing but I'm almost there!

I tried adding this to our low carb board but it's not letting me. Could be the new phone update I installed today.
