What was I thinking?!
So I was cleaning out my office today (new year, new me!) and came across a folder from when I was visiting a nutritionist two years ago. She had me eating 1410 calories a day, which I logged through MFP. I was totally faithful to my calorie count, but, in looking at the printed log, I see that I was consuming INSANE…

Snow Saturday NSV
So, been stuck inside all day because of a snowstorm and, usually, this would mean I'd be climbing the walls from boredom and stuffing my mouth with treats. But not a single leftover Christmas candy has crossed my lips. The night is still young but I feel pretty darn proud! How's YOUR day going?

How to stay patient
I've been very diligent about logging calories for the last 50 days and have lost about 13 pounds, but I feel SO frustrated when I go a few days being hyper-vigilant about my diet and then step on the scale to see not a single ounce lost--in fact, some days, I see a gain. I know this is all normal and could be down to…

I've seen the light
This morning I came in to a pile of Christmas treats on my desk. Hadn't had breakfast, so I said, "What the hell!" and ate a cookie for breakfast, along with some almonds and string cheese. Now it's 11:30 and I'm ready to chew my arm off as my body reels from the sugar. It's hard to believe that this is how I used to…

Macro advice
I know everyone is different, but how did you determine the right macros for you: research, trial and error, percentages? Any insight into formulas (or examples) would be great! I am currently consuming 1250 calories a day, with an aim for 78g carbs, 20g sugar, 56 g fat, and 109 g protein. Thoughts, tips, ideas? I've down…

Carbs/sugar in fruit and milk
In addition to my carbs, I am being really mindful of the sugars I consume. I'm wondering if you all avoid the sugar in whole milk and fruit? I don't eat either regularly, but today I had a fruit salad and a latte at a holiday brunch and realized I exceeded my sugars for the day yet my carbs are still quite low. Should I…

Eating too LITTLE?!
Hi, everyone. I am learning so much from this group and am hoping you guys can help me out. I have been eating Low Carb for three and a half weeks now and am down ten pounds. I feel great. Much to my surprise, however, over the last few days I am finding it DIFFICULT TO EAT ENOUGH. (Never, ever in my life would I have…

New to LCD--and amazed!
About two and a half weeks ago, I decided to quit sugar and carbs. I thought it would be torture, but it's so easy. Weight has just been falling off--I've lost 8.5 pounds in 17 days! What?! And I'm not hungry. And I feel great. It's crazy! I feel like I've seen the light and want to convert everyone I know to this way of…
