Hello and

In addition to the carbs I also have to control my calories and use portion control. It’s easier with LC eating because it helps control the cravings and hunger. Usually!

Same here about controlling portions, carbs and kcals!
I know I am fortunate that I live alone & don't have to worry about "bad" carbs in my house etc...
BUT remember, I lost all my weight etc still living with the ex-bf who was a huge carb eater. So it's do-able, like you've proven De and the others who have been successful living this WOE with fam who are carb-ers!
It really is a choice every single day, every single meal...
Paulette:
Awww man, sorry to hear you are having such nasty weather....HEY, send it my way and we can swop. I'll trade you 100 degrees and
for a couple of days!

But you have to find the right exercise for your body.

Yeppers! And we've all seen on here where peeps do no extra exercising and still lose weight. I love this quote which proves this point exactly: "You Can't Out Run the FORK!"
B/c it's not about CI/CO like we've been brain-washed to believe!

Jo, I love your philosophies and your consistency. You seem invulnerable but I can see it is a daily decision.
|
Invulnerable??? Oh hardly, it's just I've come to a place in my life where being as healthy as possible is more important then feeding "Fat Jo" her carb-age crap!
I seriously will be kickin' ass and takin' names well into my 60s (OMG, that's NEXT YEAR!!!!), 70s and beyond. I see too many people around me who are younger and suffer from so many ailments related to improper eating and lack of physical activity etc, KWIM?
Wow, thanks for that...so sweet of you to say!

Enjoy your well earned lonnnnnng weekend. Two months from today you'll be ready for your kids again.

It'll get old in about a week or so... only so much FUN FUN FUN, I can stand! I really do love teaching my kiddos! Imma usually as anxious, or more so, then the kiddos, for school starts up again!

Keeping it simple with egg salad and tuna salad along with some celery and lettuce these days. Mayo (Hellman's and Jo's) is a big part of how I keep my fat high enough to be happy, unhungry and lose weight.

WTG with your eating plan! Keepin' it simple has always worked for me and continues to do so b/c of all my food related issues!
I've been eating lots of tuna salad (Duke's mayo, dill relish & jalapeño relish) with my usual leafy green salad lately! I seriously can not remember the last time I've had any other type of protein...
Berni:
I know you'll have a BLAST in FL with your fam after your re-certification classes! Wishing you safe travels my friend!
Yep, totally agree that this place really does help us stay accountable!
You, De and I have soooo much in common regarding our WOE/WOL. I guess that's why we've been friends for gosh, how many years now??? Hmmmm, Imma thinking it was around Spring 2014 when I popped into that "other" site which has since shut down...

My cooler tote is packed with tuna a jar of dukes mayo and my jalapeño relish! I am ready especially since I am traveling with carb and sugar eaters who will be stopping along the way for munchies!

That's why you're a Warrior Member of TEAM 5%!

I will be checking in for accountability throughout my trip!

Imma glad you'll be coming in here during your trip to Disney!
Me:
Still rockin' & rollin' my WOE/WOL! No complaints whatsoever! I 💚 that!
Was a busy busy sewing bee yesterday... check out my journal for my latest sewing project.
Keeping busy with sewing, knitting, playing guitar etc... Life is GOOD!
Onward and ↓DOWNWARD, my LC friends!
