I meant to quote the person who mentioned lady weight loss. I think that for a theory, it is correct ... but I have heard it's only true if you are consuming enough extra calories to build muscle. Anyone who is consuming fewer calories than they need to maintain weight won't build muscle. I have seen that a thousand times…

yes, exactly. I am subconsciously trying to convince myself my portions are small enough... sigh. But will work on this

yes, be happy at your goal weight, you deserve the satisfaction. But be careful. Be a "thinking" eater :)

I'm with Rhonda. Definitely avoid Cherry Coke and other fountain drinks including Hi-C. that is sugar you don't need. Isn't it better to save your sugar consumption for something that is actually worth it like a small piece of home made dessert or a granola bar snack?

awesome :)

I really like the 75-80% dark chocolate now and usually don't have more than one or two squares at a time ... but here is the trick.... eat one of the %90 extreme dark bars, after that, the 75% tastes really sweet :) It seems to work especially well when the 90% bar is the only snack you have on a long bus ride, I won't…

Kashi cereals have 20 net carbs on average. That's high if you are doing a low carb thing.

I would love to join the group as well. Sounds perfect for us all to be able to talk about our specific weight issues. I am right now 141 lb and want to get down to 125 by November.

I don't know much about your situation but there are some general tips that might help you feel better or look at things you may be able to change. A) are you measuring yourself? It sounds like with all that exercise that you may be building muscle while losing weight, and since muscle weighs more than fat, you won't…

<<<<<<Low carb diets have been PROVEN to not be sustainable. I've seen many friends go on, and lose it only to gain it back in the upcoming weeks/months etc. If it's not sustainable, why do it? >>>>> I am doing a low-carb diet, and I find that the top high carb items (white flour, refined sugar, potatoes and white rice)…

I have given up potatoes. So two of my favorite things, chips and french fries, are now just a salty oily memory.
