No weight loss

[Banded_Beauty 71]

I'm STARVING!!! I eat mostly low carb not every single day but most days. No weight loss, no restriction, ticks me off because I want a CHICK FIL A sandwich and fries so freaking bad!! I'm beyond ready for this weight to start falling off before I totally fall off the wagon. Its 6:30am and I'm hungry! Okay sorry rant over coffee with my Protein Shake for Breakfast like a good girl ????

Well, I think the key here is you said you are eating 'mostly' low carb...'most' days. I find for me, the more carbs I have..the more I want...really want. I am allowed 30 net carbs a day, but if I still to 20, I find I don't want bread and Pasta and sweets. I even went to a Christmas celebration yesterday and passed up a whole table of sweets.

How many net carbs are you eating in a day? And as far as chick filA craving..get a 4 count chicken nugget to satisfy your craving..it would be 4 net carbs and around 135 calories. The beginning of this journey can be so hard, but we are all in this thing together. We got this!! ((HUGS))

I haven't counted my carbs honestly. I think I should but I am a pro at low carb until my willpower gives out and that's why I got the band.

I have to be careful that I don't wash the Protein down too quickly. So I don't drink 30 minutes before or after I eat. This morning I've had a big glass of Water, two cups of coffee and now (after waiting 30 minutes ) I'm nibbling on a Quest Protein Bar. This help me.

If I have my Protein shake in my coffee I sip until noon and then I'm good. If I drink it fast it makes me feel overly full and miserable

I am the same..I've done low carb plans on and off for years, but I need the accountability of tracking what I eat..every single bit is measured and weighed..you may be getting more carbs than you think..and even less Protein than you think.

I totally feel your pain. I went to the doctor yesterday and had only lost 3 pounds the last 4 weeks. I was so disappointed. Got my first fill yesterday also and still have no restriction. I am trying to hang in there.

@@weneebug ugh I'm sorry but I understand. I think I've lost 3 in the last month myself. It stinks but I'm sure once we get to the green we will be good. I just hope it comes sooner than later LOL

@banded_beauty How much have you lost all together? I see you had surgery a day after I did. Don't get me wrong...I am happy with any weight loss but was hoping it would go faster. I have lost 24 lbs to date (including post op).
