Breaking Barriers
I need some ideas. I've been on a pretty even plateau for about 4 weeks now, losing only one pound. My weight on a daily basis isn't fluxuating much, only a couple pounds based on water weight if that. I've been low carbing since December 8, 2011 with very few oops days, but I have had a couple of them. I've never really…

Carb loading while doing a very LC diet
I've been on a pretty even plateau for a number of weeks. Minor down, minor up, mostly water weights. I tape weekly, so I know I'm slowly losing inches, about .25" a week from most measurements.

For me, I recently took a series of airplane flights…

How often do you think about food?
I cook and shop for my family and as a result, I'm always planning and thinking about the family meals for the day. However, I'm starting to come to terms with how much I've let food take over my life. I'm hoping that acknowledging this will help me overcome and instill added will power. MFP seems like such a great help…

Another 100 pound yo yo
As a former Marine, I've had fitness deep ingraiined, but once out, married with kids, exercise seemed to take a back seat. My heaviest weight at the time, was reached in late 2007 when I topped out at 298, I grabbed my boot straps and headed down the Atkins road and found major success. By June 2008 I was down 100 pounds.…
