I make my morning shake with vanilla Unjury, vanilla carnation instant Breakfast, 5 or 6 frozen strawberries and put in the magic bullet. Yum.

you know, I was thinking of going low carb to see if it would help. I did lose when I was on atkins....

[losingjusme 12]

just to give you a feel on how well i do when i am low carbing it....

started Monday - i've lost 4.75 pounds since then. i do not believe much - if any - is Water weight ...

[jmarruda 22]

wow, those are some big numbers, since july I've been losing approx 2lbs a month. Not quite what I was expecting if you know what I mean. Now do you do Atkins, or just try to eat less than 35 grams per day...

"modified Atkins"

the only time i do veggies is in the evening IF i can get them in... lately it's been very difficult to get them in.

ideally, i try to stay under 20 grams TOTAL (i do not subtract for fiber), on my "high" days, no more than 10% of my cals should come from carbs.

i used My food Diary :: Online Calorie Counter w/ Diet Journal & Exercise Log to log all my food.< /p>

ok losing, you've convinced me. Next time I market I'm going to load up on some goodies and try it out. Do you try to keep it low fat as well?

losing-if you come to boston, let me know!!!! Woohoo..what a great goal. I should do it with you. The thought of it horrifies me.

How do you like those caramel latte shakes? That sounds like a flavor I would like. Do they have much of an aftertaste?

whosya-it must be a pain in the ass to have all those Snacks around. That would make me bonkers on my "weak" days. The eggs looked good though.

I did week one/day 2. Feels good. I also got my bodybugg today so it was fun to record my calorie burn. I hope the combination of the two along with watching my intake will really kickstart my loss....
