Lump

Great thread. I started with MFP in January. 5'9". 60 years old HW. 310 SW. 298 CW. 275 GW. 150ish No pictures yet. Too big to fit in camera. I gained over 100 pounds because I ate to much feeling sorry for myself. I was diagnosed with MS. I was on crutches for almost two years because of an accident . Finally decided…

I have found that adding fruit and fresh herbs work great. Put in fridge in the morning and sip on all day. I love choc mint and orange mint and a few stevia leaves. Yum http://greatist.com/health/flavored-water-healthy-recipe

Thank you - I hope a lower carb count will help. Have you looked at the different Swedish diet sites. There are several.

I am also starting the LCHF diet tomorrow. I would love some friends following the same diet. Please include me. I have been on since January, following a low carb low calorie diet. Have lost some weight but seem to have stalled.

I experienced the same thing last month. I almost went a month without a loss. It was suggested I try a day or two of more calories. I did, increased my calories by 500 for two days and then went back to 1200 calories. It did help and I started losing again. Something about resetting

I am down a pound and half this week. Not sure if I'm going to make my goal. Wish I could make them disappear faster.

Just bumping to read again

I love your inspirational quotes. I read them and then reread them other days. Grat thread. Thank you for being so dedicated for us.

My wish is that my Mom gets stronger and is able to get around better. She had knee surgery in January and had been at a nursing rehab center for the last 6 weeks. She is now home ( alone). She only lives a mile away so it is easy to check on her. I wish I could get her to eat. She hardly eats anything because she doesn't…

I'm on a low carb. I am glutton intolerant and spike with sugars. I do log all my food. I think it makes you more accountable. My calorie goal is set at 1200, but that is only a check point. Add me if you want.

I have one cheat day every other week. I still write everything in my journal. I don't go crazy. Stay about 500 to 1000calories over. For example, today I had some tortilla chips and salsa. For dinner I had a piece of pizza and some dark chocolate. This will satisfy me now. I will do a deficit in calories the next couple…

Today turned out pretty great - did some gardening, bought some exotic cactus and ate some dark chocolate Russell Stover chocolates. My sister has been visiting the last couple of weeks. She has been helping me with my Mom. Still not sure if she will be able to live alone. Just have to wait and see. Driving my sister to…

Went to the dietician today. It's the first time our scales have almost matched. Lost 5 1/2 inches this month. Not feeling very good. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Just needed to share. I lost another pound. So excited. Be Happy, Healthy and Thin. Ell

I wish everyone gets their wishes. I finally lost a pound after three weeks. Not sure what the problem was. Maybe not enough water. I've been eating a couple large salads a day. Lettuce and arugular right from the garden. My yard is a mess. I haven't done much since October because of knee. Guess I get to look forward to…

Check out Swedish low carb high fat. Several links. Sweden has low obese rate and most of their population eat this way. They don't watch calories.

Just checking in to say things are fine. I usually have time to read thread but not post. I really find your care for each other heart warming.

I'm in for March. I didn't make my goal in February. My goal for March is 10 pounds. I have to have a few more carbs because of my bones. I need to have more calcium and not just pill form. I hope I have the kinks worked out now. More milk, cheese and yogurt less meats. Good Luck to All

It looks like I'm going to change my diet. I went to primary doctor today and he wasn't happy with such a low carb count. He says I can stay low but need to add more milk, cheese, yogurt. Basically, calcium. He wants me to have at least 1500 gm of calcium a day. Trying to redo goals to make that work.

Some days if I know I've been tasting more then a couple times, I just add 50 calories.

I'm pretty new also. You can add me. It's always nice to have a friend on a long journey.

Just checking in = I have been looking at my calories. I increased my carbs. I think that might help my choc binges. Nettie - I do measure everything. It depends what it is if I use scale or measure cup/spoon. I am going to try and drink more water and eat more small meals. I have been eating basically once a day. Kah -…

I need inspiration. Really like the thread. Will check in daily. I post my food and exercise every night before bed.

Missed yesterday - It really helps me to read all your notes. I had a bad weekend. I ate terrible, chips, dark choc, diet soda. I think the only thing good I ate was a little turkey. I did stay under calories, but only because I didn't eat anything that was really good food for me. I am also getting discouraged. The scale…

Need to come back

Thanks for the information about food. I have been staying under calories, maybe to much. I'm not sure if I believe in the starvation mood. But maybe I should. I just seem to do better not eating. I think I might be afraid I might eat to much. I might have to schedule meals. I spent 5 hours outside watering, fertilizing…

Thursday truth - had some dark choc peanuts and it's not Sunday. I did stay under calories barely. Only because I pushed my Mom around rehab center again and then did some more nursery shopping. I bought two citrus trees. Truth - felling a little discouraged. My scale hasn't moved an ounce for week. Ugh!!

Forgot something - I have decided to work my dark chocolate into my Sunday.

Tuesday has been a great day. I guess I needed a couple of days off the strict eating. I weighed myself this morning expecting to see an increase. The scale read the same. Yea!! I went to see my Mom at the rehab center. She had her knee replaced in January and wasn't ready to go home. She's doing really well. I toke her on…
