Hey Molly! I HATE to exercise and I know this has probably caused me not to be at goal by now. When it cools off I do start walking again. I usually walk about 2-3 miles per day at least 4 times per week. Thanks for your support.

those cheat days can really mess with your mind. if you did not consume more than 3000 calories in one day, your weight gain is generally from water and you not drinking enough is also a factor. get tha****er in girl! it flushes your system, thus giving you the numbers you need to see on the scale.

(((Tay))) I don't even want to know the calories or the carb count in what I had. I know you are right about the water. Up until Sunday, I had been drinking a minimum of 64 ounces or more per day and everybody knows my struggle with water. I got back to the water on yesterday. But today it is making me gag again. Thanks for your support my band sistah!

I believe your experience is common among obese people including us folks who lost the weight. We're still metabilically obese on the inside. I'm so glad you posted this.

Weight gain is more complex than 3500 calories per pound of fat. Fa****er, bloating, carbs still equal rapid expansion for many of us. Who cares about the math when you can't fit into your clothes.

Do you remember when I said I was contemplating whether or not to even cheat? A part of me wishes I had not. However, I believe I was on the verge of losing my mind very soon if I had not had a reward day. I had a feeling that I was not going to be able to control the 90% mental part of this journey.

Isn't this the reason that low carb diets are most criticized?

I'm just starting this low carb thing, for real. Somewhere I read that once you stop low carbing or introduce the "wrong carbs" the weight comes back as rapidly as it left.

>>>Sigh!<<< This crap seems all too familiar. However, it appears to be a good weight management/ lifestyle tool if you can keep up with the right menu options.

You are right...low carb diets are criticized and once carbs are reintroduced you will regain rapidly. However, this is how I have managed to lose the weight that I have lost. Most people, me included, do lose our minds when we decide to have carbs again and it gives low carbing a bad rap. I believe that I could constantly lose if I went from phase one to phase three...but no...I go from phase one to no phase at all!! It is a great lifestyle if you can adapt.

The problem really is not that low carb diets don't work it's the fact that when we go OFF we go off forever and stop getting on the scale and being accountable to what the carbs can do to our bodies. Some people can be carb sensitive so it's imperitive to slowly introduce carbs back into your life to see what amount/number you can play with and maintain.

Yes if you eat the "wrong" carbs every day at every meal then you just went on a diet and yes the weight comes back and brings friends. There is a way to do it, but finding that "way" is the key ya know.

Yep I would be one of those people who are senstive to carbs. But when reintroduce the carbs, I do tend to be OFF!!!

I have figured out what my number is but I just somehow don't abide by it.
