All of the above... and it's advised by some shirtless 20-something. (I'm so glad I found you people)

Ya know, I'm liking the idea of just leftovers from the night before! Boy would that simplify things :) On the subject of meatloaf... I love meatloaf! The recipe I was using prior to low-carbing added Stove-Top stuffing to the meatloaf in lieu of breadcrumbs (YUM!). I'm curious how to make it low-carb style...

FR sent! Y'all feel free to add me too! I need all the help I can get. I will be supportive in your journey :)

Relieved to see others eating as many eggs a day as me... I'm at 3 a day. Was getting worried it was a bit much.

Thank you for posting this Eric. I too have a testimony. Started drinking this the past couple of weeks and love it! I have this for my breakfast and stay full until lunch time. I'm also feeling quite alert at work and don't mind the drudgery of projects. I think it's helping with my weight loss too. The scale's finally…

<---- you see my join date?? That's how long I have NEVER seen the scale drop significantly. And..... O.M.G. hopped on the scale this morning and had a 3 pound loss since my original post. WHAAAAT??!! :noway: I haven't seen this number in a long time. All I did was follow your advice. I can't believe this. I hope its not a…

Per everyone's water advice I got it up to 13 cups yesterday! And of course working on it today.

Wow, I am overwhelmed by your responses! Hugs to you all. Would thank you individually if I could. I've been busy and couldn't respond. I am taking your seriously and I'm glad you found some pitfalls in my diary. Diet Doctor Site - thanks for this. I saw you posted this elsewhere and already had it bookmarked. Good stuff.…

Bump

Interesting. Bumping to follow.

Sorry I'm late to reply... just wanted to thank you all for your responses. I'm going to see how I do and then if needed tweak it a bit based on your advice. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

I averaged around 50g this past week. I know we're not supposed to count carbs on SB (just follow the plan), but I've been entering my food on MFP to see where my calories are (I know we're not supposed to count calories either ,lol!) and that's what my carbs came out to be following the plan. I've read posts here saying…

Tell me about it!!! Eggs, eggs, eggs, that's all I've been eating!! Can't you tell I'm on Phase1 too, lol! I would love to hear some other ideas too. The only other thing I can think of is cottage cheese. But as you know, we can't put any fruit in it just yet :( My husband has been having Greek yogurt (we are allowed two…

Bump!

Awesomeness!! Thanks for chiming in! :smile:

Sigh... I am 5'5 and 150 lbs and 40 years old. I would love to be 135, but for now I'm aiming for 140 lbs. MFP has given me a goal of 1430 (to net) to lose 1/2 pound a week. This is very close to my BMR (1400). I prefer to do the MFP way instead of TDEE -20% since my exercise is unpredictable. I do however try to exercise…

Bump, since I'd like to hear too!

I tried doing TDEE -20%, but since my exercise is not consistent netting my BMR is easier to work with. I plugged my numbers into MFP using sedentary and eat my exercise calories back. I chose sedentary since I have a desk job with long hours. The goal MFP gave me (1430) is very close to my BMR (1400) anyway! I would love…

I'm going the net my BMR route. I tried doing TDEE -20%, but since my exercise is not consistent netting my BMR is easier to work with. I plugged my numbers into MFP using sedentary and eat my exercise calories back. I chose sedentary since I have a desk job with long hours. The goal MFP gave me (1430) is very close to my…

For starters, I gave it up for vanity! My VERY FIT friend looked at my like I had two heads when I told her how much I was using. She explained how the body has a hard time digesting artificial sweeteners, thus slowing down the metabolism. For a very long time I have tried everything and its very hard for me to lose…

Also... congrats on your weight loss!!! I just looked at your stats and your SW is my weight and your CW is my goal! If you don't mind my asking 'how did you do it?', how many calories per day? I know everyone is different, but I have the same stats and have been stuck in the upper 140's forever.

Starting this week I'm going to combine 30DS and Couch to 5k. I got all the way to Level 3 Day 2 and despite feeling a little thinner (I think!) with no weight loss I'm completely bored doing it everyday :( I know the program is effective and I love Jillian but I'm getting kinda burnt out and actually miss my treadmill,…

Me too! I'm on my eighth day. This past week I've been headache-y and exhausted... how are you feeling? Hopefully I'll get over it soon. I would use 14 packets of Equal each day for my coffee and oatmeal and drink about a half-gallon of Crystal Light... YIKES! I've switched to minimal sugar in my coffees and drink nothing…

Me too... you're not alone! :( I'm on day L2D6 with no weight / inches lost (although I'm feeling slimmer). This is the point where I've thrown in the towel in the past. But I have seen the posts where the change happens for some in L3. I guess by that time the body accepts the routine and "gives in". That's what's keeping…

So I searched the forums to see if anyone else had this problem before. Looks like I needed to update my phone's operating software (which I had put off doing). I did just that, and now my "My Diary" screen is back and working again! Just putting this out there in case anyone else runs into this.

IT DOES!! But you have to get Preparation H with Biodyne. Unfortunately that one is no longer sold in the US, but it is sold in Canada. I order mine thru Amazon. Without biodyne it is useless for under eye baggage.

You're right. Since learning about the importance of Vitamin D I'm not hiding from the sun as much as I used to. Being outside DOES make me happier! Thinking back to when I was a teen/in 20's when I layed out in the sun I was so much happier! Don't know if it was the sun or if it was my youth, lol!!

^^ Yep! ^^ Although my D came back in the "normal range" at 30, since I've been supplementing with 5000 IU a day I've felt soooo much better (energy, mood, etc)! I can see why the optimal range really is at least 60. And Naomi - I also agree with you! I live in sunny Florida and try to avoid the sun. I don't want to risk…

lol!... so THIS is why my calves hurt now! I just started running outside and my shins were killing me. After reading this advice elsewhere, I focused on landing on midfoot/toes and the shin pain is easing up. Running mid/fore foot is also making the running easier, I feel like its propelling me forward. Even though I…
