I drink a ton of water, I do take a multi plus potassium supplement. For exercise I walk 5-6 days a week, 30-60 minutes. I usually do pilates a few times a week, too. I don't do any other artificial sweeteners and I'm taking a break from the Splenda to see if that makes a difference. I'll try to take more salt, but I…

I've also noticed that I can only tolerate one shot of espresso where I would have three or four pre LC. I do try to drink broth but I hate how it tastes and it doesn't seem to make a difference with headache or nausea. I will continue to low carb because it gets the scale to move for me. I can eat 1200 calories of low fat…

I'm new to low carb, too. I love cooking and baking. I really miss baking and sometimes get sad about changing that long term. I still cook a lot (I have a hubby and four kids to feed). But I miss some of my old recipes. I know I'll have to change my habits for good and what is helping me is getting low carb cookbooks and…

I eat full fat dairy, too. I don't think I could do low carb without it. I was down another pound so it obviously doesn't hurt my progress, yay!

Did the chicken stay tender? I have a hard time keeping chicken tender when I stir fry it. It makes me crazy! I hate dry, tough chicken.

You could try a fat fast for a few days to shake things up. I have only been low carb for a short time and have not had stalls yet, but in will try a fat fast if I get one. I'm 41 and had zero luck on a low fat high carb. I'm thrilled to be actually losing weight since low carb.

I don't have an answer but I just ordered a variety pack from. Amazon. I'm planning on cutting them up into small pieces and just having a bite or two when I'm craving something sweet and chewey. I don't think I'd eat a whole one in one serving, but I'm metabolically challenged so that's just me.

A few years before I met my husband he started a New Years resolution to lose weight. He lost over 50 pounds and has kept it off to this day. There is nothing wrong with resolutions. Quit being such a hater.

I just started today. I've been counting calories for two months and I'm not losing (I have a history of being a stubborn fat loser) so I'm starting this diet. I'm super hungry today! But I'm excited to see if this will work for me. I'd love IP friends!

I love the idea of doing active things together as a family. My husband and I hire a sitter and bike together. Then we go out to eat. We do a lot of active things as a family together. I've gained 30 pounds after 10 years and four kids together. Never once has he nagged me to be the svelt woman he married. He has loved me…

I say we get MFP to edit the calories in the database to zero.

Awesome!

I am an at home mom with four kids and I get 12,000 average without exercise. I walk my dogs four to five times a week then I get closer to 20,000. In the summer I haul in the steps because I garden and we are so active. I wear my fitbit every day and I guess I keep really busy with my kids. I do use farther parking spaces…

I'm gonna eat lots. Yummmm.

what does mfp give you ? eat that plus exercise calories.

I also have a few cheat meals a month and Thanksgiving will definitely be one of those days! I'm hosting at my house this year :)

Um, I'd kill to lose over 20 pounds in less than three months. Just sayin. I usually only lose 2 lbs per month eating 1500 cals per day and exercising a lot. Count your blessings.

Met my husband on eharmony 9 years ago. He's a wonderful man!

I took the summer off from counting calories and I'm starting again, hoping to lose a lb per week this winter. I walk and do workout videos.

I've never heard of the term push gift. My husband did get me a wonderful mothers gold necklace with four engraved gold medallions on it (one for each kid) after the birth of our son. But he was number four and our last. I got flowers with all the other kids.

Any moms out there miss nursing? I nursed four kids. We are done having kids but the only thing I miss about babies is nursing. Boobies are a useful tool. They are also multipurpose, just ask my husband.

Oh, but I digress, it's

I'm not on the team but go USA! Can you post the results after the week is done, for us curious cheerleaders?

You look beautiful and happy! Way to go!

I weigh every day and record it in an app called Happy Scale. It takes fluctuations in weight and shows trends and averages. It's awesome and has given me a whole new relationship with my scale.

Mine kicked in hard a few weeks ago. St Johns Wort, Vit. D, walking outside every day (even when it's below zero here in Mn. ) exercise, and light therapy help, but it never goes away completely. I also get paralyzed by little decisions. Someone else mentioned they can't sit still in the summer. That's me totally. Autumn…
