So true!!! If you can make it thru a good buffet you can make it anywhere!

Im totally sticking to whole foods, no refined sugar, no grains, no grease! Yet I'm not limiting my calories! I've been in the kitchen for 2 weeks coming up with my lifestyle change for the holidays! I will be having pumpkin pie, an odd yet tasty pecan pie, 19 calorie servings of homemade cranberry jelly, broccoli bites,…

My check in day is suppose to be every Monday. I weigh, take measurements, and pics. I've peeked at scales every day this week. When I bought this armband and synced it with mfp.. It told me 1400 calories. Lol that's a lot to me so I've been nervous. As of this morning I've now gained 2 pounds. It's just frustrating.. But…

So? It's possible that I have lost.. I'm just gaining too? That sounded bizarre but you know what I mean! Anyone know just how much water these muscles can hold??? Lol Like? If I'm on a deficit that shows I've lost 2 pounds.. And it doesn't show on scale then let's assume there's two pounds of water in my muscles. So? By…

Thanks! I know I'm not starving lol.. Well I don't feel like I am. I'm 37 Weigh 145 (I've lost 20! Woohoo) I'm eating 1400 calories and by end of day my pie chart is pretty balanced. I'm exercising on treadmill and some outdoors. But I'm going for an hour each day. My calorie deficit (so says my arm band) is 900-1200 daily…

I reevaluated. Basically? I started out this diet 3 weeks ago with perhaps low carbs isn't working because I'm making the wrong carb choices, not paying any attention to calories, not exercising, & not drinking water. I was using my carbs on LC tortillas or LC bread. The rest is pretty self explaining! So? Trying to change…

Yes.. The sweet potato and French bread are equal lol! Good day hon! No thanks to you I'm feeling very optimistic with something to work on and a direction! Thank you anyway :). I'm sorry I cannot allow you to break my stride!

Quite frankly... You just gave me a big key lol! Thank you! That's probably the best thing I can do right now! Reread labels with all I've learned in mind.. Thank you!!!!

I think I'm going to have to take a day at the market and read labels all over again! I did that when I started low carb my very first time. And when I did I had low carb in mind... Never calories, fat, protein! That might be the best thing I can do! Thank you for telling me about wheat pasta! It's one I had written off in…

Mines working for me too. I'm just looking ahead to be realistic when I hit goal. I'm not far. I don't wanna just get there and screw myself over like I did last time. Lol. Apparently it wasn't just baby weight and diet wasn't just temporary lol! I'm trying!

Lol... It's looking that way for sure! I'll figure it out. I just need to go back to the carb basics. I never really learned the good from the bad on carbs.. Just numbers really. I'll go study up.. Then introduce some good ones as I continue to up my carbs to normal. It's a slow process but I have nothing but time. My…

You couldn't be more wrong and you are being very assuming. But perhaps this is your way of helping. So thank you!

Golly, I feel very attacked! I was on low carb, was successful. Gained the weight back with junk food. Tried several time to lose again on low carb but it just wouldn't work. Lol? Why? Don't know. But it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that low carb isn't very healthy. So.. JUST three weeks ago I decided to be…

Sorry I wasted y'all's time. I was just curious about something I can obviously not explain. I didn't intend on becoming placed on the defensive? Lol, I'm not feeling very welcomed at the moment. I will gracefully bow out. Again, I apologize. God bless you all on your journey and I wish everyone good health.

I don't think not eating sweets, bread, or pasta constitutes an eating disorder lol.

Lol!!! I like you :) That's what I've been eating to meet that 1200 mark. I'm just questioning the 59% fat. Seems high? But golly I'm eating like a horse veggie wise and protein!

Treadmill

Y'all I have no desire to starve myself! Promise! I'm just trying to figure it out. Maybe I need to learn more carbs.. My protein is fine. But I think after all the low carb trials I got wired that way! Bread, sweets, and pasta... I cannot be trusted lol! But then I wonder... If it's working? Why mess with it? Ugh it's a…

This is what I'm trying to do. But... I have to watch certain carbs mentioned above! But no way on earth can I eat 50 carbs worth of veggies.. It's just impossible volume wise.

Now option number 3... Give up some exercise? Does anyone see the irony in this??? I'm not being smart? Or rude.. I just don't get this... It's ok to eat more fat.. It's ok to exercise less... Just make that calorie quota by any means necessary? Can anyone make this make sense?

Seriously? I'm frustrated! Lol it's like if I ate 3 tbsp of mayo everyday everyone would marvel at my excellent calorie count Lol! So what's worse? Eating the mayo or coming in short on my calories!??

My journal is crazy because of exercise! My goal is 1200 calories! Yesterday and today I've cut some fat and have fallen far from 1200! I was meeting that goal or very close before! Volume wise and choice wise.. I'm picking great foods and am sooooo full! It would be impossible to eat more! Lol and I'm a gal with an…

I think I'm getting carbs from veggies, berries, cream, and cheese. And some here and there with seasoning!

It's like I eat the fat and make the calorie quota.. Or cut the fat and fall a few hundred under quota?? What's best? lol either way? I'm stuffed!!!

I opened my diary. It's hard to undo low carb lol! I have stayed in ketosis the entire time. I learned on low carb good vs bad carbs.. I'm not even trying now but I'm under 20 carbs every dang day! I thought low carb might be failing because of my calorie count. So I'm watching it! I've introduced veggies back into my diet…
