Fell off the LC wagon...
I have been successfully losing weight on low carb for months, and with all my genius I decided to go full throttle back on carbs with a calorie controlled diet. I of course put 9lbs of water back on within days, and now I feel disgusting. No energy, and I feel my anxiety, and depression slipping back. Does anyone know if…

need a refresher....
Hi Everyone, I'm sorry if this question has been asked a lot. I haven't done low carb is quite some time. CALORIES.... I am set around 1400 per day, and I went up to 1800 yesterday. Oops. When doing HFLC do calories count as much? How many calories to you eat on average and still have nice steady loss? Thx ! Nic

plateau
So I've been on a NASTY plateau for 2 SOLID months. It's getting VERY hard to stay on track, and stay motivated. How long did your plateau last? Did you ever start losing again? I don't ever want to be obese again and this loss of motivation has me upset. Thanks All,

Weight gain from morning to night
So I've been a little obsessed with the scale as of late. Weighing in every morning and every night. I watch my weight go all over the place. I found out I can gain 10lbs of water in just one day... How can I keep my water weight from discouraging me? I know it's not real weight, but damn.... my non-rational (aka, the…

LOSING SAME 2 POUNDS
I did low carb dieting for over a year. That stopped working so i switched to Weight watchers style. I lost about 10 more, then I froze. I keep gaining and losing same 2lb. I eat less I don't lose, I exercise more I don't lose. Is my body adjusting? It's been 4 weeks and I am frustrated! Thank You

Going back into the world of CarbS
So I've lost most my weight on a super low carb, calorie controled diet. Lately I've been stuck, and I'm thinking going back to the normal carb intake might help. Maybe my body just needs a change. Anyone ever go from low carbs to regular carb intake and still have success? Thanks in advance!

HELP!
I have gained and lost the same 2lbs for a MONTH!!!!!! Soooooooo frustrating. I started adding good carbs back in, then I backed way down. Nothing is working. I wanted to be down 100lbs by my one year mark. Seeing as that is 3 weeks away, i don't see that happening. Right now, I just want to keep losing. I hate the plateau

Not eating enough... Gaining
I've had a very emotional week, and finding it hard to get all my calories in for the day. I'm about 400-700 calories under, and I stepped on the scale this morning, and i'm up about a pound. what's up with this?.... Also... I've been taking IBUPROFEN for a sore back... wonder this that makes your body retain water.
