Feel free to add me. I log and post daily. :-) BTW, cleaver screenname. Adorkable is a very accurate word to describe me. lol. I also heart The Walking Dead show. :-D

Totally. I'll keep posting. :-) I need an outlet for chatting about cars, bikes, motors, etc. with nice people. So many forms online are so mean towards females.

Hi hsantiago, I'm sorry I don't think I'd have time to be interviewed for qualitative research, but what about posing your interview questions on the forums so many people can respond? I know I'd have time for a quick response here and there on the fly, just not a full interview. A bunch of short qualitative responses from…

These are all really awesome ideas. Thanks a bunch! If more ideas pop up, please post. I'm totally going to continue referring to this post for ideas when we have fish for dinner. :-)

When I fall off the bandwagon, I get right back on as soon as I can. I don't beat myself up about it. We all have bad days. Life happens. I do my best to make up for my slip over the next week with things like extra exercise or restricting my carbs a little more, so that my averages for the week are good.

Leftovers from lunches or dinners, protein shake, cottage cheese, almonds, TVP oatmeal, and whatever else that's in my fridge or cupboards that's low carb. :-)

To counter ijrichard83's point on athletes: Human bodies are only capable of storing up to 2,000 calories of glycogen. Glycogen comes from carbs and is a quick fuel source for our bodies. So there is a limit to how many carbs are bodies need for essential function. For example, when marathoners "hit the wall" it means they…

I try not to have anymore than 20g net per a meal and I shoot for 40-50g net in a day. I steadily lose about 1-2lbs a week. I absolutely never go over 100g net in a day when trying to lose weight. If you're going low carb, you should join the low carb group on MFP. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. ijrichard does make…

This makes me wanna go watch bunny binkies on youtube. :bigsmile:

Soco diet: My fav drink of all time. It's Southern Comfort mixed with diet cola. It's amazing when mixed with vanilla coke zero. :drinker: Have fun!

Request sent! I'm a low carber. I log and comment daily. :-)

Kinda close. I do work in healthcare. :-)

So true. ...not a lot of activity right now in this group, is there?

Sending you a Friend Request. :-) I want to lose another 15-20 lbs by my birthday June 12th

I'm allergic to exercise is my favorite one. True story, few people are, but I'm not. :bigsmile: My real excuses usually are no time, need more sleep, or I'll do it later.

Hi Jasmine, I peeked at your diary and I don't think you're eating enough calories. When I eat 1250 net calories or less consistently, I tend to not lose much weight or completely stall. My dairy is open for you to view if you haven't already. My carb range is about the same as yours and I try to eat over 100 grams of…

Feel free to add me. I log and provide encouragement daily. :-)

After about 9 lbs. My hairstylist mentioned it. She noticed my face seemed thinner. It made me very happy. :-)

I weigh in every morning in the same manner after I get up. It helps me stay focused daily. I found weighing in once a week was demotivating for me. I ended up fearing the scale each week, would lose focus on my diet after a few days, and ultimately fail. By weighing in daily, I'm able to see how good or bad yesterday was…

Ditto. I think you're cooking it wrong if you want sauce on a good steak. Even Eye of Round doesn't need sauce if you do it right. If you want some additional flavor try Montreal Steak seasoning. You can find it in the spice section of your local grocery store.

I LOVE TACO NIGHT!!!! We have it nearly every week in our house! I really enjoy just having a taco salad. I like to use Beanitos. They're like a corn chip, but they're made from beans and flax. They're a little lower in carbs and really tasty by themselves even. I crush 4-5 of the chips on top of my salad like croutons,…

Bummer. :-( I dislike sellers unwilling to reasonably deal. Negotiating is part of the fun. My Camaro and dirt bike are in my profile pictures. No pics of the cuda yet cause it looks like a pile still and is currently buried under lots of snow. It's one of those looooooong term projects.

Woot! Down exactly 2 pounds since last check-in! So that's 1.16%?

I have my 2000 Camaro SS that I'm hoping to have street/strip ready this summer. There's a stripped down 68 Cuda in the backyard. The engine is in the garage waiting to be reassembled once it's warmer out. My dirt bike always seems to be a project, lol. And I'm hoping to get my hands on a project 69 GTO Judge in the next…
