WOW, some of these comments are freaking insane. I am a gal, but I am glad I am not some of your husbands/boyfriends. Heaven forbid you say one wrong thing, or world war 3 might start!

I haven't noticed any effect from them, but I have seen numerous posters say that they stall them.

I don't find it strange or snobbish that people place restrictions on their friends here. They have every right to pick people who they think will be supportive of their journey and who they themselves can support. They want their friends to mean something on here, not just be a list of names like on Facebook.

Not really. I am a D now and it took me 40 pounds of weight loss to go from a DD to a D. I am thinking I will probably be a large C when I am at my goal weight.

I don't think that is accurate. I have one of those scales that track it, and mine says I am at 33% body fat. I am 5'8 and 175 pounds.

Welcome! I personally feel that low carb eating is definitely the best way for ME to lose weight; different things work for different people, and some people just don't seem to grasp that concept.

There has to be a place that delivers to where he works.

I LOVE tomatoes, so I use two slices of tomato as a bun.

Cookie cake from Great American Cookie. I want it SMOTHERED in frosting. If I let myself, I can and have eaten an entire cookie cake in one day. It's only 3700 calories, 536 carbs, and 360 grams of sugar :p

This is exactly what I am worried about. I had horrible willpower when I was pregnant with my first, and I gorged myself on carbs, carbs, and more carbs. It's kind of a miracle that I "only" gained 65 pounds and that 45 of it was gone within the first month. With a toddler to chase after now, I just know that the next…

For me personally, I try to get 15 grams. That is enough to keep "regular" for me.

A cute new fall wardrobe is definitely in store for me. I am also contemplating laser hair removal.

The only thing I can think of is Diet V8 Splash. I think it is 2 carbs for an 8 oz glass.

I have to be VERY vocal about it and a bit forceful. Over the weekend, DH's aunt practically tried to pour sweet tea down my throat after I respectfully declined it 3 times. My MIL tries to constantly send platefuls of crap home with me, but she is finally getting the message that I do not want or need a plate full of…

Bump! I would like to know this as well. I know in my last pregnancy I ate way too much carbs and way too little protein. It would be nice to know the recommendations for next time.

Woohoo Tina! Great job, and KEEP IT UP!

No, and it had never occurred to me to do this.

I have had great success with lower carb eating. I typically do 5-6 fairly low carb days, then a day or day and a half of higher carb eating.

I am 5'8, high weight was 252, current weight is 177. My goal weight is 150. I weighed 140 in high school, but that took quite a bit of dedication to achieve/maintain, so I think 150 would be more reasonable for me right now.

Low carb has worked very well for me.

I'm not an idiot. I know how to measure my food and make sure my portions match up to what I am logging. I wear a HRM for my exercise. Standard MFP macro ratios did not result in weight loss for me. I didn't change my calories consumed, just my macro ratios.

I am slow too. It takes me 42 minutes to run a 5K :/ My fastest mile time is 11:30, and that just about kills me.

Nope, it's not. Otherwise there wouldn't be thread after thread of people who HAVE a calorie deficit and aren't losing weight. I found out that I have to watch my carbs to lose weight. I lose fairly easily keeping them under 100 a day and very easily keeping them under 50 a day. OP, you are right that every gives…

390 grams of fat left? Wow! It really depends on the person. I personally make sure I eat my BMR most days, but I do have a day or two where I am under or WAY over (my cheat days).

Obese or overweight? I wouldn't hire someone who was 100+ pounds overweight, but 10-20 pounds overweight I would as long as they had the knowledge and experience I wanted.

LOL, I lifted weights and walked on the treadmill one time wearing a calf length dress. I had forgotten my workout clothes and came straight from work. I have also worked out in jeans and khakis before if need be.

It is me now (and DS). I think I might have had a picture of someone else onetime as a goal picture (one of those you find on Pinterest).

Hi! Feel free to add me! I normally eat 30-40 net carbs a day, with a day or day and a half of higher carb eating.
