Question for the low carbers
2 questions, actually: I've seen a few posts on the forums about not counting sugar because carbs are part of sugar intake anyway. I currently count sugar (<25g) as well as carbs, but I'm curious if you think it's unnecessary to do both. My other concern (if you will) is net carbs. I just recently decided to track fiber…

MFPers who weigh monthly or less
*note: the "less" in my topic means less often. I'd like to know your experiences, if you don't mind sharing. I usually weigh bi-weekly, but I decided to challenge myself and not weigh for the entire month of August. No it's not too much of a stretch for me but still...I was wondering, when you do weigh yourself after a…

Things you've noticed about urself the more you lose weight!
*sorry for the 'urself' shorthand but I wanted to make sure the entire title got posted* Okay so I know all bodies are asymmetrical, but when I was heavier, I definitely didn't notice it much (besides my feet, haha). So anyway, now I'm noticing my left arm is smaller than the right, my left lower back is smaller than the…

(Super quick!) Chicken Mushroom Onion Cheese Stir Fry
Yeah, I didn't know what to call it so bear with me. LOL Anyway, I was hungry and I had a piece of chicken breast that was thawed out so instead of just grilling it to eat, I decided to be a little creative. Yes, I made this up on my own, but if you've seen the recipe somewhere else, it's a coincidence, I swear! Here goes:…

What's the longest you've gone w/out a plateau?
My weigh in isn't until this Monday (I weigh every two weeks) but as of my last weigh in, it has been 20 weeks without a plateau. What's your longest string of weight loss?

NSV - Shopping!
So, this was my first time shopping since I changed my eating habits. That has been since the end of February. If you knew me, you'd know not shopping for this long is torturous, but I didn't want to buy stuff, only to not be able to fit them in a few months. It's now gotten to the point that all of my dresses are too…

Delicious chocolate/peanut butter pretzels!
This is so simple that I'm almost positive this has been posted before and if you've already read it, my apologies. But for those who haven't.... 1 tbsp peanut butter (room temperature) 1 tbsp Nutella (room temperature) 10 unsalted mini pretzels Mix the peanut butter and Nutella together and dip the pretzels in it and…

Any other women trying to get down to a size 10 final goal?
I notice that a lot of women prefer to get down to a 2, 4, 6, 8, but I rarely (never?) see a size 10 goal. Perhaps it's because I'm taller than the average woman coupled with the shape of my body (defining waist, with very wide hips, and big bust) I don't think I'd be ideal for a size smaller than 10. I have seen women…

Most cups of water you have had in a day?
25. It was a weird day for me. I usually average 10-15.

Funny NSV
So I was on a date last night and when I crossed my legs at the bar, my foot was able to touch my other leg. Pre-weight loss, my foot would stick up while crossing it. You know, that "halfway" leg cross. Well it's a full one now! :laugh:

Longest you've gone without hitting a plateau??
So far, I haven't hit one yet. But keep in mind I weight myself once every 2 weeks (sometimes 3) so I may have hit one 1 week and lost the next haha. Anyway, 22 pounds and about 10 weeks in and no plateau yet. How about you?

Feeling really depressed
So I've been doing this since the end of February. Everything is going fine, I'm losing weight steadily, etc. I've always had high self esteem pre weight loss. But after I lost the amount I have, I looked in the mirror today and although I liked what I saw naked, I didn't like what I saw with clothes on. Anyway, so I went…

MFPers who have seen Fat Head
What did you think of it? I enjoyed it and learned a couple things that I'll definitely be using in my eating habits. For instance, my carbs are usually around 120-140 grams per day, but from now on I'm going to make a strong effort to keep it at 100 and under. Also, I'm going to watch my sugar intake much more intently.…

Has anyone over 200 lbs lost 15-20 and not see much differen
I've lost about 18 and I just. don't. see. it. My family sees it. My friends see it. I thought I saw it until I went out yesterday, was looking at different mirrors and windows at myself and didn't see as big of a difference as I do at home. It made me a little discouraged but not enough to change anything. I'm in this for…

Cellulite question?
Just curious cause I have some on my upper thighs and butt, but does cellulite start to disappear when you've lost a significant amount of weight? Obviously this question would be better answered by those who had it before their weight loss and it either lessened or stayed the same. Just wondering...
