I'm with you! 40 lbs is my current goal.

Low carb, green vegetables, eat all the time, any time. High carb, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., eat only at high carb meals.

Good luck ladies. Maybe I'll join along for a while. I have been at the same weight for a year. The only way I lose weight is to religiously count calories...what a drag. I love to eat. I need to have a little more willpower to stay at the correct calorie level. Well, here goes...today is the day.

I am finding it is all about calories in/calories out. As long as you don't eat too few for the exercise you are doing, you should be okay. I follow the MFP recommendations of how many calories to eat each day based on my activity level. If I eat too few , I do not lose weight. I also have a Fitbit to monitor my activity…

KeeKee, This is not a very active group. You are welcome to hang out with me and we can support each other. As for HC foods - whole grain breads, cereals, brown rice, fruit, etc,. LC foods - very little carbs Protein and vegetables should make up every meal. I follow this plan: Monday, Wednesday, Friday - 1200 calories…

It is not a very active group...makes it very frustrating! I have been doing CTL for 4 weeks. Will finish my slingshot week tomorrow and start on a 2nd cycle on Monday. I have lost 7 lbs. I was hoping for more but, 7 lbs is good when your are not "suffering" while dieting. This last week (slingshot) has been the most…

Welcome Myra! My weigh day is tomorrow (Saturday). Sunday (free day) ends my 4th week. It has been hard this week (slingshot week) but, i am pleased with this program so far. It would be nice to have some support here on this site. This board seems relatively dead most of the time. If you start this Monday - we could be…

Jenny, I am doing a slingshot week this week. Today was my first day. 1st week - I lost 4.8 lbs 2nd week - I lost 0.8 lbs 3rd week - I lost 1.0 lbs Total so far 6.6 lbs I, too, am skeptical of this week since I did fairly well so far. Trying it anyway. I'll let you know how this works out and you let me know if you…

I thought that is the book I got from the library - the 1st CTL. Slingshot week was in chapter 11, only about 3 pages long in its entirety. I started this program on a Monday (6/10) so tomorrow officially starts my 4th week (slingshot). Still very skeptical and unsure of how the results will turn out. Did you lose all your…

Circa and Marbles You are both doing FABULOUS! Keep it up. I am only down 7 since starting this program. Concerned about this coming week - slingshot week. Not sure how it will work out, IF it will work out. Starting Monday with slingshot. Did either of you do slingshot weeks? Were they successful?

Think I need to find a new place to hang out...this board is DEAD!

Ate too much on Sunday, too many calories (just under 2400). Lost only 0.8 lbs at the end of the week....could it be from Sunday's calories? Did the same thing this Sunday (yesterday). Hopefully, it will not come back to haunt me. Again, Sunday's calories have been under 2400, barely under. Maybe this is too much.

Circa.... Seems we hit a dead place on this board. I have also checked back to see if anything "new" has been posted and it appears to be "the same-o, same-o" so I did not bother to post.. if i know you will be around, I will try to post every few days if not more. I have not been doing CTL long enough to know whether or…

Newbies, I just started this CTL program this week. Today is the last day of week one - cheat day. How are you doing on the program? As of yesterday, I have lost 4.8 lbs in one week! So excited. Today brings anxiety - will this really work if I eat what ever I want today. How are you feeling about cheat day? Do you have…

Hi Ladies, Thought I would pop in. I am so excited about this program. Weighed In on Sunday (6/9). Officially started on Monday (6/10). Used yesterday (Saturday 6/16) as my new weigh in and I am down 4.8 lbs!!!! BUT, I am anxious about today - free day. I think it will sabotage my current loss. How do you get through your…

Marking a spot so I can come back to this.:smile:
