I just read Darla's previous post and the responses and it got me thinking. I was never given an amount of carbs to eat in my diet - just portion amount and calorie amount to aim for. I realize some carbs are better for you than others but what is "too many carbs"? Do you guys count how many you eat? I try to eat whole grains, fruits, and veggies for the most part. I did however have some bites of some simple carbs yesterday (baked chips, crackers) and was STARVING in the afternoon and evening. Today will be different so I can see if I'm not as hungry Anyway, what and how many do you eat??? Have a fantastic day!! Weekend almost here!!!

Darla, it sure gets harder doesn't it. I wonder sometimes, why that is as we do not eat nearly what we use to eat, in fact much much less, so what happens to slow everything down? I have been trying to stay away from the carbs and really curtail the amount I do eat and have done better this month, having lost 8 pounds and that has not happened for a number of months. Hope it keeps it up but it could just as easily stop again. I too, am very pleased with what I have lost and feel so much better, however just want to be in the "normal weight catagory! I am revising my goal from 140 to 150/155 and then try to get the rest off with PS!! Not cheating in my book, it comes off just the same! Everyone hang in there, and keep eeking out a pound or two here and there, but mostly NOT GAIN!!! Julia

Best of luck Darla. You are struggleing like so many of us to lose more weight. By changing your goal, getting to that weight won't be so overwhelming to you. Try to cut out those bad carbs. They can sabotoge our weight loss and carbs make you crave more carbs. Hang in there Sher

I am no longer trying to lose and I haven't met my goal of 145 lbs in fact I keep going back and forth from 165 to 169 and I'm tired of it!! I am refocusing on my goal which I have changed to 155, that should be attainable. I find I'm snacking too much on high carbs and I'm eating too much at a meal. I kept telling myself " I've lost 125 pounds, and I'm happy with what I look like, however I want my BMI to read normal and right now it's close but not quite there. Wish me luck! Darla

YEAHHH!!! Thanks - it was great. I think the 30's will be good. love you all sarah
