I will! I do this with my best friend already and it helps sooo much! We take pics of our low carb creations and message each other when temptation strikes or we fall off the wagon.

Thanks for the insights! I'm feeling better and eating LC again and with the illness dropped 6 more pounds so yay I guess lol. I just felt guilty going off my plan of action, my "lifestyle change", haha but eating carbs and drinking full flavor soda did help me feel better and no harm done so for future illness I'll just…

That was me yesterday. Sleeve of Ritz lol

Woops carber not carver. *autocorrect

I had my baby 12/9/2014! My little 9.6lb chunker. Less than a month later I'm at pre preg weight :D and ready to restart my weight loss. I can't do low carb yet bc it affects my supply but I hope I can use the breastfeeding to help make up the calorie deficit. Thanks to all the MFPr's who gave great advice when I thought…

Thank you! We're very excited and hoping for a girl this time around. Weight loss will have to just wait lol

So yeaaaa I'm pregnant. I will stop obsessing over where my will power went and enjoy my carbs and nourish my baby. Thanks all!

Actually after assessing how I've felt today the more possible it seems to me that I just might be pregnant. I wasn't actively trying so I wasn't looking for symptoms but besides the desire to eat everything in my house I think I'm having several symptoms and it would explain why in reaction to my crazy impulse to eat…

I think I'm like 10 days out from starting so I am close to starting the PMS mode and it does feel like it. I could also be pregnant since I don't take or use any contraception with my fiancee. I have had 2 cycles since I started my weight loss though and this entire week has just been more difficult than the whole first 2…

I'm not near my goal just nearing my first goal which is to hit Onderland. I have 3 more goals to get to each of them 20-30 pound increments. Mt 2nd goal is to reach my prepregnancy weight of 180.

Wow! I am an engaged lady but I do have to say you are a smokin hot dude! :love: Awesome work and best of luck with your bulking!

Hello I have had a "bad" week and am trying desperately to stop a backslide so I want to join for motivation and to regain my determination. SW:220 CW:204.4 1STGW:199 ONDERLAND! Weigh in Dates: 04/01: 204.4 04/05: 04/12: 04/19: 04/26: 04/30: Total weight loss:

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support. I truly love MFP just for that reason. You never have to feel alone and though our paths are all different (My success story will never feature how I fell in love with running, lifting, or Insanity) our end destination is the same. I would also like to add my best…

I think the "just say no" needs to be my method. It needs to be from my own willpower but I am in a ragged emotional state today and I don't even know why. I just know I feel hopeless about my weightloss and my looks. I want to get back my initial motivation and attitude that I started with. I want to not be a weak…

I hate exercise! I'm sorry but I do. I don't want to run, jog, lift, do the elliptical or anything else. I don't get a "high" from working out it's just something I force myself to do but I will never love it. As for my motivation I am going to be more honest than most and just say it's about 50% health and the other %50…

I am on a low carb diet and so I have not eaten cereal in over 3 months. It took me like 30 days to not crave it but I love my eggs, bacon and cottage cheese now it feels so much more filling and energizing. And of course there's not all that processed sugar crap! If you are just cutting bread and cereal maybe just buy…

Yep getting married next June 2015 so lucky me I have just over year to see how much weigh I can drop. I am currently 208.2 and so close to my first goal reaching ONEderland and then on to goal number 2 of my 180 lb prepregnancy weight followed by goal #3 150lbs and my ultimate final dream goal of 130lbs. For the wedding…

Hunger isn't an accurate indicator of when to eat? Um I thought that was the whole function of hunger. Seems a little counterintuitive to say something like that...

If you don't have a lot of weight to lose in the first place then it's a slower process vs someone who is trying to lose 100lbs or more. I agree though what's so bad about your current progress? Losing is losing and it's a long *kitten* marathon not a sprint to the finish.

Upping my protein intake has definitley helped me control how much I eat and I work out pretty intensley (to me anyways I'm dripping sweat at the end!) at least 4 times a week. But for me if I feel hungry I eat!

Swimming is probably the best workout you can get while you're injured. Check out gyms with pools or community centers. Take it easy you won't heal if you push yourself too hard. Good luck!

I'm in love with the Quaker caramel rice cakes. They're sweet and crunchy and not very loaded with calories. Delish. I also like apples with peanut butter and although not very sweet I love goldfish crackers because you get to eat alot of them for a serving size.

I'm 26 with a 4 month old baby boy:heart: Trying to lose the last 30lbs from the 60 i gained with him and then probably could stand to drop 30 lbs from my prepregnancy weight

I'm doing the Shred also and I love it! I'm skipping the meal plan as I don't like to cut out any foods just modify how much I eat but the workout is great and I'm excited to give level 2 a shot in the next 3 days!

Screw this thread. Some of you people are ridiculous. Yes you can starve yourself if you actively try. Nobody's "accidentally" in starvation mode. She said she doesn't feel hungry not because she has daily been depriving herself but because that's just where she's at. Then some of you start throwing around "starvation…

Yes but she's not sayingthat sh'e trying to eat under 1200 and she's saying that she doesn't feel hungry. I'm sure she will have days that go over and some that go under. I vary daily from 1000-1700 and if I feel hungry I eat. I don't feel starved or sick. Besides I do want to lose weight and be in shape but I refuse to…

I just go with what my body tells me. If I'm hungry I eat and if I'm not then I don't make myself eat. If you are not feeling hungry then I doubt you'll be in "starvation mode". Also everybodys metabolism is different so if eating under 1200 works for you and you're losing weight then I don't see any problems. I f you hit…

I am having this same problem! I can't understand it! I used to drop 10lbs without even trying just because I was less hungry that week or whatever and now I'm working out 5 days a week and monitoring my food intake and its like 0 progress! I am very frustrated and I have no clue what to do. I see peoples responses to up…

Hi my name is Julie and I live/work in Albuquerque, New Mexico (originally from Michigan) I work as a "sec/tech" at Presbyterian hospital where the majority of my day is at the computer answering phones and entering physicians orders and if I'm not too busy I help my other nurse techs with their patients. I definitley do…
