I feel the same way about exercise and low carb eating, it makes me feel like im on top of the world. but somehow i allow myself to get dragged down in a bite her and try this new thing. the next thing i know i am consuming lots of carbs and feeling icky. i will never stop trying to stick to a low carb diet approach with an active lifestyle.
Good Luck!! :)

That's awesome! I know what you mean about low carbing... it does seem to make me feel better and lose better, but darnit, sometimes I just want some freaking carbs lol! I made myself sick today because I wanted some baked lay's... I was determined to eat them and did NOT listen to my sleeve. Big mistake! Let's just say I only ended up tracking half of what I put in my mouth, and NOT because I was embellishing my stats for the day. Ugh!

Keep up the good work. It's okay to get off track a little. This is a lifestyle change. Today was my birthday and I had half a slice of key lime pie. I also did my C25K workout this morning. First time I ever started a birthday with exercise. It was a good day.

I'm wondering if I need to try on a smaller size in pants. I weigh 178 and fit in a 14. I haven't tried a 12. However I did some shopping and I was fitting in size 14/16 dresses. They were fitted and name-brand though. I think it was my boobs lol.

Sorry for rambling! You know we're here for you! Thanks for being honest and accountable.

How many carbs are too much?I just tracked my food for the 1st time on MyFitness Pal-I consumed 1030 calories,100 carbs 23 g fat 74 g protein.I had some fiber(flax seed )some in my food.I don,t eat bread ,sugar, white stuff..Most of those carbs came from the fruit and flax I put in my shake to get things moving.Am I getting too many calories carbs for 13 weeks out?

Melly,

We are in the same boat!!! I fell off the wagon 4 weeks ago and everyday I tell myself, today i will start back to basics, but fail and get sooo sick.

Thank you for sharing, I was beginning to think I was alone.

Thanx for answering my question on your blog.I had a better day today with calories and carbs.Your insight prompted me to look for better ways to get my fiber in and working without upping so much carbs.Its great to have this outlet and be able to encourage and be encouraged.My vise was crunchy/salty binging at the end of the day when I was feeling overwhelmed so I can't have stuff like that in the house.I will take a bite of something my husband has once in awhile.Your honesty is refreshing at a time when I need to learn to confront my emotions instead of running from them with the escape of food.Hoping you have a blessed journey and keep posting!

Isn't it just amazing how AMAZING we feel when we feed ourselves right and get moving. I too don't know why I "fall" off track...feels good to be back!!

Great post! I needed that bit of inspiration today. I am home recovering from my band removal and thinking about the days ahead. I don't want to gain any weight back while I recover and prep for VSG. The secret will be low garb and exercise, for sure.
