@Sabine_Stroehm @kpk54 @jogetsgains Thanks for the info! I have contemplated upgrading but just wasn't sure. I have used an app called Carb Manager as well. But....I really like MFP, the set up for logging food is so simple.

Just wondering if anyone here has the premium version of MFP? If so, is it a lot better? Does it show the net carbs? I have thought about trying it but not sure. I guess it allows you to customize more?

I am in! I lost a total of 7 lbs from mid June to now. I am very pumped about that. Did a 10K race and am planning to do a sprint triathlon. I am almost at my goal weight and it has been YEARS since I could say that. I don't think I would be at this point had I not started eating low-carb. SO..... Net carbs - 25 g (or not…

yes! :smile:

Hello everyone! I turned 50 a couple of months ago and thought this looked a nice friendly place to join in on. I've recently lost 20 lbs, would like to lose about 5 more. I am pretty active - exercise isn't my problem.....eating in the evening is my downfall. Looking forward to August!

I love my asics nimbus. I've tried others but keep coming back to these. Have not tried the kayanos yet though, might give them a try

7/17 Swam after work roughly 1000m of front crawl. Not sure how accurate my Garmin is measuring distance in the water. Today I ran 5K, my leg felt fine during the run and now a couple of hours after it still feels ok. So....hopefully what I was feeling the past few days was not due to running. Did a lot of gardening so…

carb manager is pretty good for tracking as well, it figures the net carbs for you Just checked out cronometer, wow, it does track everything! Going to give it a try :)

6/15 Heres to a new week! I didn't have a terrible week last week, but the weekend was a bit hard. Relatives visiting and late night bonfires and snacks and wine. EEEk. So this week I will be really watching my macros and my calorie intake. My exercising has been going well....running biking and doing a lot of swimming at…

This is SO me. I am an evening eater, just habitual...not hungry in the least....just want to munch. And so much harder when hubby does it and never gains and ounce. When I control my evening eating....the scale always shows it.

7/13 Busy summer so far! Got a bit sidelined by company, but managed to get myself back on track. Ran 2 10K's which was a summer goal of mine and been swimming in the lake most days. Main problem I have is keeping my evening eating in check. Just want to munch after supper.

6/27/18 A weekend away with the girls for birthday celebrations. Need i say more. Much indulgence. However, still got in my run. Back at it!

6/18 No exercise yesterday, all day at work training. Felt that was ok though...with my run yesterday. Net carbs were way up as well....they ordered our lunch for us at work today and it definitely could have been worse but I ended up with 64 net carbs for the day. I know that is actually much lower than I ever was before…

My mom had it done a few years ago, she was in quite a lot of pain before....and none after!

6/17 Weekends are always the toughest for me, made it through this one without doing too much damage like last weekend. Ended yesterday with a 9K run. It was hot, I was slow but I did it and today (the next morning) nothing hurts! Still keeping my carbs 25g or under. One thing helping me through is one of the low carb…

Wow, I guess it doesn't take much to get me off track. I haven't posted for a week or so. My son came home for a visit, had a family picnic, got side-tracked. Saw the scale go up (I know though, its not all about the scale). But I am back, and the scale has returned to its pre-visit number. yay! Got in my longest run in…

I must try these! Thanks :smile:

6/6 Cals :) Net Carbs :) Exercise :) Net carbs 29g yesterday. Added some soy sauce to my cauliflower rice making it much more tasty and good. Got out for a 6K run, still slow but faster than I have been lately. Good day.

6/5 Calories :) Net carbs :) :) Exercise :) Net carbs were at 17g yesterday, very good for me. I have been alternating a bit, one day lower (like yesterday) and some days in the 30g range. The only real difference that give me in my days is a 1/2 bagel in the morning. It works for me! Got in a pretty good upper body…

6/4 Calories :) Net carbs a bit higher than usual (43net) No workout Lots of water :) I work every Monday (casual/part-time) so that if often my no exercise day. Net carbs were a bit higher than they usually are, but was mostly all high fiber vegetables.

wow, amazing! Quite a bit for a pound! :)

6/3 Calories under macros good Net carbs under So I had planned a run for yesterday afternoon but I ended up giving that up to plant two trees in my yard that I had been putting off for a week. So, got that done as well as some weeding in the flower beds. Got bit to pieces by horseflies...they were terrible! Glad its done…

6/2 Calories over :o Net carbs over :o No exercise :o Yesterday was tough. Went to a good friends mothers funeral. After there were finger sandwiches/sweets. I didn't do terribly but I did have some. Later my sister came to stay with me, we had wine and a not very carb-free dinner. I guess another part of my June goal…

Very interesting! One of the hardest things for me is giving up my morning bagel. I will still often have a 1/2 bagel with an egg. I guess you must order your stuff online? I might have to try something from there. I did recently discover nupasta. I was able to get it at Sobeys. Not as good as the real deal but a great…

Absolutely see a difference! Great job, keep it up! :)

6/1 Logged it all 14K bike ride whipper snipped 1 1/2 hr Calorie goal Net carbs a bit high but ok No wine!! Got out yesterday for my first bike ride of the year. There is a 14K loop that I generally do but my goal is to go farther. Theres another loop thats probably 25-30K. Dh does a lot of biking as well so I would like…

5/31 Logged it all Strength workout Net carbs good under calorie goal Did an upper body strength workout today. I have a lot of the beach body videos so I can do stuff in my basement room. I did indulge in a glass of white wine after supper but I measure it and logged it. That is something I rarely do with wine!

I have never heard of pasta zero, but I will keep a look out for that too. The nupasta definitely has a different texture but I can definitely make it work and will get it again. I did like a stir fry with lots of garlic, onion, mushrooms and some olive oil. Then topped it with some fresh basil and parmesan cheese. Next…

Me too! :) Keep logging Keep losing Keep exercising (getting out on my bike too!) Lose 5 or close I guess my June goals will just be to keep this going. I have seen great results in May and I am seeing myself at a weight/size that I haven't seen in a long time. It feels great. I know I will keep exercising but I would like…

5/30 Food logged :) Net Carbs :) Strength workout :) Lots of NEAT :) :) Productive day yesterday! Got a strength workout in, lawn mowed, whipper snipping done and weeding in the garden. Phew. Today is suppose to be really nice and hottish so I'm happy all that is done. I have discovered nupasta. Haven't actually tried it…
