United States 5:2 dieter newbie and thread lurker. First ever fast day today 3/30/15. This will be a month long experiment to see how I adapt. So far so good. Chose Mondays and Thursdays as my fast days and I will be counting on my non-fast days too in order to be more lax on the weekends. Thanks for posting tips and…

Mission Tortilla Carb Balance Wheat. They also have the white flour version of the carb balance kind. I usually get the small taco/fajita ? size. Best thing about it is it can be found in nearly every grocery store. No weird taste and smell.

Bump.

Bump.

Amazing progress all! Can't wait until I can say the same.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does coconut oil butter not have fats? No carbs, yes that's believable, but no fat?

:-( Well that's not good. I saw that you posted the first week. Do you want to PM the group admin your weekly weigh-in so that we can at least keep up with your losses in case you're the first to reach 20 lost? Additionally, if you want to keep it as a personal spreadsheet, I can send you a downloaded copy so you can see…

Thanks for the recipe. Will most likely try it with a mix of a white and brown sugar substitute.

My only suggestion would be to carry healthy snacks and log them before driving so that you already have your planned snack calories logged. I wouldn't worry too much about physical activity as you need to conserve energy for driving haha. Because of the lack of physical activity, keep your calories in line. However,…

You're very welcome Krista. And yeh, it's super tough trying to keep your eating habits in check while you're out of town. Definitely a true test of willpower lol. Good luck to you as well.

Adding to recipe file.

You're welcome everyone. Yes, if your name isn't listed, you can add it to the end. I tried to alphabetize the names after I typed everyone out and it seems like I can only alphabetize columns, not rows. :frown: Believe me, I tried. I did go ahead and move everyone who has entered information further to the front of the…

Hol up. They have grilled tenders at Chick Fil-A? I'm always getting the Chargrilled Chicken Salad but I would love to switch it up.

I just created a Google doc spreadsheet to track our weight. I only went 12 weeks out. I figured 3 months is a good start. You don't have to have a Google account to access the sheet and input your information. Since everyone has a different weigh-in day, I just put the "week of" instead of a date. Bookmark the following…

Been in the 180s it seems like forever now. But what exactly is the challenge?

Tatt-tastic!

Bling (both eyes and teeth are bright and flashing! lol)

I track the same categories except I swap out calcium with sugar. I used to track sodium but found that's dang near impossible to accurately track. I'm on a moderate carb diet where my actual carb grams can range from 50-140ish but are usually under 100 net carb grams. Although I have wiggle room as far as carb count…

I know it's tough to think you're wasting time when you're not seeing visible progress (believe me, I'm there right now). However, you're still here on MFP and still diet and exercise conscious and that counts for a lot Jazz. You've got crazy dedication and plus your schedule is bananas. I skipped my workout yesterday to…

Even though you won't meet your goal in time (you will eventually!), your dedication is outstanding. I'm so inspired by you Krista because I want to do the exact same program (strong lifts) when my schedule lets up later in the year so I can get back and forth to the gym. I also want to lift at least 3 times a week and fit…

Bump. Never purchased because I hear horror stories about the smell and texture. Gonna try the Chelle dry-fry Method lol

Bump. Been eating the slow cooked cheesy chicken chili I grabbed from this website all week long over brown rice. Keep em coming!!

Interesting information here. Recently started raising my cals and hoping for the equilibrium to set in so I can start losing again. Been plateauing for a while and still have quite a bit to lose. Side note: Does anyone else think "Helloitsdan" looks kind of like Linus Roache? Bruce Wayne's father from Batman Begins?…

Wingstop. Stick to traditional bone-in wings with Buffalo, Lemon Pepper, Mild, or Parmesan Garlic. They fry bone-in wings without breading, just watch out for sugary sauces like Teriyaki and Hawaiin etc. Complete with a side of celery sticks instead of fries. Not sure if there's one in your area though....

Having this for dessert all week. I baked it in a loaf pan and had to bake it for a heck of a lot longer than stated, but I suspect it's because I added pecan pieces. I also upped the sugar to 1 cup from the half a cup stated. It took some willpower to not eat a second piece though lol. The texture is more of a pudding…

Bump.

Really? That's odd. Make sure you don't include the colon mark before it or the period after the link. if that fails, try typing in the address by hand.

Dang Alisha! You need to come be my personal low carb chef lol
