Hello again fellow Low-carbers. I've been doing really well on the plan. I've lost a few pounds, my insomnia is gone, and my migraines are gone. I've only been doing this for 3 weeks, but those things were last week! I'm purposely not exercising, so that it won't be used an "excuse" for anyone to explain my weight loss.…

We had our week of winter, now I'm running the AC again. I guess the upside of running the AC 12 months of the year is never having to shovel snow or drive on ice.

Yes, it's Monday again, but I can't make myself say "happy Monday" without a grimace. Work is loaded with problems today, and it's my job to make the problems go away, even if that means going to other people to assign them the problem. Now I just wait on answers, but no worries, in the meantime I have about a bazillion…

Morning! When I think of groundhog day, I can only think of that Bill Murray movie. :blush: Doesn't mean much here in Florida anyway, in fact "winter" weather only just started here a week ago. I had to scrape ice off of my windshield for the first time this season, and that's a rarity! Christmas was 82.....For those who…

OK, that is what I was assuming that it meant. If you eat a whole chicken, you'll be full but it's useful food. Eat a whole cake, it's all garbage your body doesn't need! I'm on day 2 and even if I don't lose weight, which I hope will happen, it's got to be better to eat like this. :smiley:

Morning! Thank you for the warm welcomes! I would say I had an OK day yesterday, I did have some mad cravings last night, so I had a small bit of dark chocolate chips, then later a handful of my kids cheezits. Don't know what was happening there, I don't even like cheezits which is probably why it was only 1 handful! But I…

Hello! Happy to find this thread! I am trying yet ANOTHER go at low carb, so I joined this group last year. I tried to go low carb again last year but couldn't get my carbs lower than 70ish regularly and gained 5 pounds before I gave in to cravings after a month and quit. I'm starting again today, with a cleaner, more…

Hello! I just watched the Bailor video, which was interesting. I see some other people have the same issues with eating as I do, where eating has nothing to do with hunger and therefore there is no "natural" cut-off that my body tells me I am full as I was eating to satisfy a craving and not to fulfill hunger. I've never…

You can lose 2 lbs a week IF you were much more overweight. I did it rather easily but I was obese so the calorie deficit makes a bigger difference. The closer you are to an optimal weight the less practical it is to lose so fast. Not impossible, but harder. I'd suggest not trying to drastically cut your calories but focus…

thanks! I'll try that too! As flawed as it may be, I know that I couldn't tolerate 2 days of logging on Sparkppl. Talk about not being able to find matches...more than half of it wasn't even close to being the same food. At least on here, even though I find incorrect entries, some scrolling or scanning I can usually find…

2 sausage patties/links, or a big chunk of ham, I love bacon but it can't fill me up. Sometimes a protein bar, though I know some ppl don't like them. But honestly I do have omelets, frittatas, or just scrambled eggs a lot of the time, I just change up the fillings all the time to make it different. I just can't do veggies…

sure, add, add, add, but please don't post your nudes on the feed, at least not until we know each other better. Yes people actually do that. I log in daily to put my info in, comment when I can--honest and supportive, great listener too if you need to vent. I'll try to FR some more tomorrow but so late here and I'm going…

Sitting out the hurricane now. Started by cooking steak with sautéed mushrooms so my steak didn't get wasted if power went out. Then went to online shopping, the stores may be closed but Amazon can have new junk to my house on Saturday. Then I got bored of online shopping and tried on clothes in my closet to see what fit…

I must be to be doing this, and yes

Only if I want to end up in her basement (I've heard it's a fun place) Hiya sweet JO! I'm bored too.

Progress so far, not done but more than halfway!

Sorry about the graininess on the new one! Before (in red) 240 lbs, now 170 lbs...just 20 more to goal weight, which is what I weighed at 20. I was really motivated to get back in shape before hitting 50! Just started strength training for the first time this week, as I've definitely lost muscle. Great thread! It's…

Hello all! 46 yr old divorced mom in FL. I've lost 59 pounds using MFP and want to lose another 25. Hope you guys are having a great weekend! :smiley: I've been doing CICO and exercise but now need to start building muscle to be stronger, look better, and reduce some of the appearance of that dreaded "loose skin". Also,…

Reactions: It's funny how some people never say a word about it, and other people completely freak out. Comments have been things like: You look great! You look 10 years younger! How did you do that? OMG you're so skinny now! Skinny! 180 is hardly skinny for a 5'5 person but I guess they mean compared to how I was. I have…

Try eating 1200 cals a day and exercising and still gaining! Happens to me every month. Don't worry about small fluctuations--I can look at my charts and see that some weeks I go up and some weeks I go down, some stay the same. Look at it over the long term, and remember your body is adjusting, it will take some time. I do…

This place and the rest of the world is full of advice. You really have to find what works for you, which is: 1. calorie amount that creates a deficit but doesn't leave you weak or hungry ALL the time. 2. food that you like enough to eat and be happy with, forcing yourself to eat food you don't like/want probably won't…

Supposedly, you aren't getting enough if you don't eat back the calories you burn in exercise, MFP treats it as though you didn't eat the right amount. I read discussions on this before here, and some are adamant that you must consume xxx calories a day. Others say they don't ever eat back ex. cals, and some prevent this…

Definitely not alone! Up and down for years, 245 at highest ever. I'm a little taller, so I could still barely squeeze into 22s at that weight, and lost a little in my 30s. Now I'm concerned about the health risks being in my 40s, I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and borderline diabetic. I'm down to 184 and now…

The "official charts" say 115 to 150 for my stats. When I was 18, I was 135 and everyone said I looked too thin. I'm big-boned and somewhat muscular to start with. I've set my goal weight for 155, but I used to have it set to 175, simply because I didn't have the confidence in myself to believe I could get lower. If I get…

I weigh all my meat, since it seems I'm no good at guessing the portion size...it weighs much more than I think it does. It doesn't bother me at all...I have 2 scales, 1 digital and 1 regular old style kitchen scale. I put on my dish, then zero it out, then weigh it. The ones that bug me are the portions that say "1 cup…
