For Breakfast I had a low carb wrap tortilla (11 total carbs,10 grams of fiber)..with my eggs and bacon for a breakfast burrito. Zero% Fage Greek yogurt has 100 calories and 20 grams of protein.I don't have the container nearby but its somewhere around 11 carbs.I add frozen berries to give it some flavor. I drink the…

To answer your question, OP,You just have to experiment with your diet and find a plan that works for you.MY body LOVES low carb!!! My eyebrows grow back,my periods start,I have energy,and I'm never hungry.My skin becomes gorgeous and I lose weight SUPER FAST!!! The problem is that I don't really like meat besides bacon…

Who says that we NEED carbs? They are NOT essential,but Protein is!!!!!

Please don't follow ANY diets when you have a medical condition that requires brain surgery! The ONLY diet that you need to follow is the one given to you by your DR.

You CAN still be sedentary if you workout 6 days a week.I'm just going to use the example that I have with my Fitbit.I set MFP to sedentary and its linked to Fitbit. My numbers here will STAY sedentary until I walk about 2 miles during the day..or around 5,500 steps(it adds exercise calories after that).If I worked from…

Thanks OP,I often wondered why so many on MFP were basically saying that MFP sucks and to follow Scooby or whomever.I believe that we are all different and no one thing will work for everyone.MY body is carb sensitive,so as much as I'd like to think and WISH that I can eat 200 grams of carbs a day..my scale says No NO!…

Eat a GOOD protein/Fat rich breakfast.... Take Tuna packets,apples,celery,nuts.protein bars,boiled eggs..

I ask what's in it,eat half..take the second half home to deconstruct it and add up the calories from what I see inside...This process is rather annoying,so I just have my Burritos at Chipotle or a place that has the nutrition info.

The 7 eleven brand is the same recipe...7 select or something.....

Me too!!!!!! and My weight loss and Health show that I'm doing just fine....About to eat a Snickers bar right now ;)

Waaaay too much Ignorance in this Thread.Knowledge is POWER people! Please actually read the WHOLE book and don't base your views of the Atkins plan of stuff you heard.Read it for yourself...... Whats REALLY funny is that SO many people BAsh the Atkins plan when that is the exact plan that they are doing.I OFTEN hear on…

Thats how MY WL is,but at the end of the Month it adds up correctly to 8lbs a month as I wanted it.It used to drive me nuts,but now I know that it will pay off in the end as long as I don't give up.

You can workout at home..Plenty of good Programs.

Tell me more..never heard of it.

A few years ago I lost 50lbs in 3 months without ANY exercise.I even worked from home and rarely left the house because I had a broken foot.I was not flabby,or saggy....My Mom is 60 and she lost 60 lbs..she has no flabby skin at all...Its all in the genes I guess. I do exercise now for heart health and endurance not for…

Eat what MFP recommends that you eat...If you have a few calories left over its no big deal,but if you have hundreds left over very often just try to plan your meals better.

OH WOW!!! At some of these things.....

The Atkins diet is AMAZING for curing the Sugar addiction.The REAL Atkins diet in its proper stages..not the one that people think is Atkins...read the book. In the mean time...when you lower your sugar add in more protein and fat.

So REFRESHING to see someone on here who GETS this!!!!!! I was just about to give up on these forums lol!!!!

MY body has a WHOLE LOT of calories in my Bat wings and Belly rolls!!! It can sustain itself off of that.Fat is STORED to be USED when the body needs it...If I don't eat enough OR if I burn off the calories I ate today and My body needs MORE it will eat my FAT! That's the whole point...

Trust yourself and listen to your body! Everyone here has a different opinion on what works and whats bad....follow MFP's plan as written and take it from there instead of worrying about Scooby and them lol!!!!

Use the search bar....Most of your questions have already been asked and Welcome!!!

Yea,I see the "food Preparation" as exercise on here and I'm just thinking WTH? But,to each his own...If it works for them,then cool.

The people who are eating HIGH carbs and still losing weight is because you are BURNING those carbs when you exercise! Biology 101.Insulin is a Fat Storage Hormone,when you eat carbs you put that insulin to work. IMO,when you exercise or are active in your daily life you can eat more carbs and still lose weight.If you are…

It just depends on your body.When i was 230lbs 5'8..I wore size 14 (US) jeans.My friend who is the same height wore a 18 at 230lbs...She has hips and booty,I don't.I carry most of my weight in my upper body.

My 600 pound life,I Used to be fat and The Biggest loser.

I just read the Success stories on here and other websites.I have LOTS of weight loss books,but the Success stories on here seem to motivate me more.

Eat what you can afford,just track it here. Walk your daughter to school everyday to get that exercise.Its painful now but it will get better.

New Clothes!!!

Doritos...I was drunk so uh yea...
