Between 100-120 Calories 100 Calorie popcorn bag Kozy Shack rice pudding snack Trader Joe's fruit frenzy pop (surprisingly filling for me) Little drumstick ice cream cone Around 200 calories 14 Trader Joe crackers and 2 TBS garlic hummus fajita size tortilla, 2 sl turkey breast, 1 sl light swiss, all the greens you want…

I find having a few options at different calorie counts helps keep me going. That way I still feel like I have a choice... this week they are: 60-70 calories Hard boiled Egg Babel Cheese 100-120 calories Trader Joe Fruit Frenzy Bar (they rock) Lil drumstick Ice Cream cone Kozy Shack rice pudding snack Smart Pop 100 calorie…

Fajita sized tortilla wrap with dijon mustard, turkey, slice of light swiss cheese and some greens.. lots of coffee (216 calories)

Dieting does not offer instant gratification. DAMMIT (stomp stomp)!!! I have always found that what you do today will not show for two weeks.. Also, though its always a good start, I personally don't count the initial weight loss (larger water weight drop) right away. Only when you start adding to those pounds slowly weeks…

I did it for years and was very successful and healthy. Ultimately it wasn't a diet I could stick to as a way of life and when I gained back 30lbs (years later) .. I found myself back here to try something different. That being said, I felt great on Atkins.. I worked out hard with a trainer.. ate way more calories then…

You look awesome and the suit is adorable!

fajita size tortilla wrap, 2 slice of turkey breast, 1/2 slice light swiss, french dijon mustard and of course.. coffee with skim and splenda

A REAL fresh everything bagel with butter.. This is NOT to be confused with store bought bagged mini bagels or those bagel thins (which while shaped correctly have no actual bagel type qualities :laugh: )

My ex was so negative and didn't like me for who I was.. always pushing to diet. Always so proud of me for losing any weight.. saying if I just would become a runner (which I really do hate) or if I would.. or if would.. I always felt horrible about myself even though I had lost and was pretty damn fit and healthy. As it…

Egg beaters microwaved in a mug with some cajun seasoning and a slice of low fat swiss on a whole wheat bagel thin with more then one cup of coffee .. 212 calories I'm still not thrilled about my breakfasts but they are moderately filling and ok.

I LOVE BAGELS but would eat up too many calories for me early in the day. I have been doing the bagel thins (adequate but I wouldn't call it an actual bagel :laugh: )) If you have the calories to spare.. I say enjoy your food!

Well I did it for years and was healthy, worked out and felt good. That style of eating didn't ultimately work for me (ie, i'm back here now) but, if you are eating at least 25 NET CARBS and healthy fiber daily and feel good. Who am I to get on you. Also, important note.. the diet does expect you to keep increasing your…

My bad... I had gotten that wrong. Good finale!

Actually your diet reminds me very much of Atkins. When you are eating so low carb, your body goes into ketosis and your hunger does disappear. It's one of the perks of the diet (if you are always hungry). But also is something to fight. I know it sounds weird, but healthy carbs might be good to add some balance.

If your clothes are looser, it sounds like your measuring differently both times? One doesn't equal the other..

Ryan Reynolds, slimy okra and American Idol.

If you have Netflix they have quite a few 10 minute workouts. I find when I can't get motivated I can do one... get some chores done.. do another. It is something...

Yea.. they would mention a marathon if they were having one. With the new trainers and the end of Bob and Gillian :cry: I think they did enough to shake up a season. And did anyone else think those makeovers were AWFUL? I usually love that show!

When I was successful doing Atkins I kept my net carbs between 25-30 a day AND made sure I had my 2-3 cups of green veggies daily (FIBER NEEDED)..

... and balance!

Though this isn't my favorite season.. I love this damn show!

Totally want to try omelet in a mug now... Thanks!

I had a fajita sized tortilla wrap with an egg substitute scramble and a slice of light swiss. Not the most exciting breakfast but 170 calories and surprisingly filling. With coffee and 1/2 cup of milk.. calories = 210

I really get it.. it changed your mental image of your accomplishment but it shouldn't.. You lost 22 lbs! Don't lose sight of that!!!

Your diary is hidden so its hard to guess. Have you been following the calorie goals suggested on this site? Eating back some of your workout calories too?

Bump..

I have heard a true plateau is 5 weeks with absolutely NO weight OR inches lost. I.e, sometimes we lose weight but don't feel it in our bodies... sometimes the body is shrinking (catching up) even when do do not see a weight/lb loss.

BUMP!
