Question for those who have reached their goal or big losers???
I have been at this for a long time now. My question is this; when you got close to your goal did you count every carb and calorie or did you just simply eat LC and not worry about it.
I find that if I count carb/cals then I weigh all the time and feel bad about myself when the scale does not move. I keep this feeling about me that I can't have cetain foods. But, if I just go through my day and eat LC healthy foods and tell myself that I am happy at my current weight then I am not worried about the foods that I can't have. Any advice... Thanks, kat |
i almost always count my calories and carbs even tho im on maintainence.

Kat, take a visit over in the Pre maintainance/maintanance thread. Scroll through some older posts, there is all kinds of good advice, about getting close to goal and adding foods etc.
Congrats on your loss!! Kathy |
I've been maintaining for 14 months, and I have to count carbs and calories daily.

I have lost about 60 lbs. and although I am still far from goal, I have not been counting carbs or calories. I am losing slowly but I have found that if I dont snack as much, even the allowable ones, I do better.

I keep an eye on carbs these days, keeping it under 50 a day mostly from veggies. I don't strictly measure like I did on the induction days.
I have never counted calories. --nw |
I counted daily using fitday. Once I got to goal i switched to fitday pc but I still count. Odly enough the carbs dont seem to mater as much as the clalories these days but I still count.

I don't keep track of either.
I've been maintaining for 7 months now and I know what I can and can not eat...and it works for me. I have 5 lbs I "play" with. When I hit that 5 lb gain I know I need to back off on some of the extras such as whole grain breads or my weekly potato. I don't worry about my caloric intake...it's too much work and keeping track of either carbs or cals has gotten boring for me. |
I do things similiar to shellslyn. I know what I can and cannot have, and just stay within those boundries. I don't count every carb like I used to. I just know what to eat and not eat. It has worked for me. I have maintained for almost a year now. :)

I think that counting is good at least while trying to lose, but if you can lose and not count everything then thats great!
I wish I didn't have to worry about the carbs and calories so much but I do...using fitday is just second nature to me now....been using it daily for close to 10 months now. |
