I'm pregnant and have gestational diabetes so I have a strict amount of carbs I'm supposed to eat per meal and snack. I've done the calorie count thing before with great results, but I find the low carb thing is even easier! I naturally am hitting a deficit every day by accident. (Next time I visit the doc, I'm probably…

Request sent, anyone can add me :)

No problem ^_^

Turning 30 in a couple months, if you want to add me :)

Nice. OP, check this out: http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ It should tell you what you need to know. But I'd do more research than just one site fyi.

Ostrich fillets??? So random! haha

Add me too!

Added! Anyone can add me as well :)

Deli Meat, Fancy Cheese, and Fruit. Chicken Fajita Tacos Quinoa Salad Veggie Omelet

Hey people, add me! I'm looking for more friends who post recipes :)

I camp constantly, we do a lot of foods...not just those classics! We take our dutch oven and do casseroles and pot roast. I just don't eat the potatoes, not too bad. Chicken Salad, Tuna, Salad for lunch, with fruit for sides. We also do just cold cuts (although I wrap them in lettuce). I never go camping without my…

Eggs! They have so much more cholesterol than I thought!

You guys can add me too! Looking for more friends who are active!

Just depends on what you eat the rest of the day I think. I'd rather eat a big dinner than a big breakfast so mine are rather small in calories.

A guy who likes to cook! Always very happy to see that. Looks yummy :)

I had the same thing happen to me after I lost about 40 lbs. Around Christmas we had lots of good food, and I ate it! I gained back 7 lbs and lost my will to keep going because I felt like I "failed." But I think that is what this whole thing is about. Not everyone WILL lose 60 lbs with no breaks in between. Just start…

THIS. Agreed! You all need to lighten up lol.

The best thing to satisfy hunger is protein. I eat protein with every meal and I have a big appetite as well. It fills me up pretty well.

I almost feel like your scale could even be broken just because when I lose weight, its always several lbs to one inch in measurement. Or maybe you are just weighing yourself at the wrong time of day? I only do once a week in the morning, right after I wake up, remove all waste from my body and before breakfast. Its always…

I log everyday, I'll add you as well :)

I have many reasons for losing weight, but having a baby is one of the bigger reasons. I do not have PCOS but I added you anyway. :)

I'm doing low carb for medical reasons only. I'm allergic to something in wheat flour, (not gluten) and I have no idea what it is, so I just rarely eat it. I don't eat rice anymore either, and I don't miss it. Quinoa is so much more tasty! yum :D I don't think its wise to cut out carbs or foods if you really love them,…

You didn't put on the weight overnight, so it won't come off overnight either. I lose 1lb per week too, that's a good amount per week to lose. At the very most, people on average can lose 2 lbs per week, but that is usually if they are a LOT heavier than you are. Slow and steady wins the race, you are doing fine and you…

NOT 800-1000. Below 1200 period. And yeah if you are having a hard time eating up to your goal, just add some foods in there that are health and higher in calories. Like peanut butter, avacados, etc. I especially agree that if you miss a food, put it back into your diet, you have the calories to do so, so why not? There is…

This happens to me as well. But I do not believe its because my body has a set weight, but because my habits are set.

I guess we all have eating disorders then haha. I didn't read any of this except for the first post....

I agree, I don't think 3 weeks is enough time to say the addictive eating habits are gone. Give it some more time :)

FINALLY someone said it! Geez. On a side note, I'm not sure why everyone is saying you don't have to eat breakfast and it won't affect your metabolism. Not eating breakfast causes many people to feel sluggish and tired in the morning, then they binge eat later. And of course, the more meals you have, the faster your…

Someone mentioned toast, that is why I said that. And I don't believe that everyone here is deluded into thinking its a magic diet. But there are some that come to MFP thinking that ONLY doing low carb will allow them to lose weight. I was just explaining why low carb does actually work, but because it comes down to…
