Glad your first dd went well Amy! I also weigh daily, have for over 10 years but I just find its been bothering me lately. Like I weighed less on Saturday then I do today and it makes me mad. So just...

Well I couldn't preform a miracle this week, 210.4 lbs so I'm up .4 for the week :( first time I've gained since starting ADF but completely my own fault for over doing carbs and eating too much on...

Welcome to all the new comers!

Up .8 pounds from my UD, so I am 1.4 up from last weeks weigh in. That means I need to lose 2 pounds after today's DD to have a loss for the week. And at that it...

Holy hell I have no idea why I keep doing this but had 120g carb day, stayed within my ud calories but damn that's a lot of carbs. I think I have a plantain problem, been making them way too often...

Elkay~ I know I can't lose weight when I drink alcohol, it just doesn't agree with me, not even red wine! I almost always gain 2 or more lbs after one glass, totally not fair! See how your week goes...

It really was lol! Went to a restaurant in the Chicago called Carnivale. What's nice is they are Latin fusion and more than half the menu is pretty primal, of course I can't say what oils they use...

252dip~ glad u had a fun trip!

Glad morning~ hope it continues being effortless for you! Last week was super hard for me so I think that happens, it's easy till its not and then...

yoga~ if all your eating is 50-75g of carbs then it shouldnt be the carb flu.......perhaps try to stay at 50 or below for a few days and see if it makes a difference.

Glad morning~ 50 lbs in 17...

Yoga- Congrats on the 2.3 lbs! The only thing I could think of is if your UD are high in carbs than maybe you are crashing on your DD? This last week I had a over 100 g carb UD and the following DD...

Much bigger drop after my dd. 2.2lbs ,but still up .4. I'm gonna take Fridays weight this week because Thursday is a dd and I dont want to weigh after an ud. So maybe just maybe I can eek out staying...

Thanks guys but I think I'm more upset at the thought of another month of ADF! Lol! I just don't find it pleasant, some days are easier than others but all in all it's not fun. If I could find...

Lilac- I am very adventurous in the kitchen for sure, I need variety or ill feel like I'm on a diet ,and being on a diet doesn't work for me. So def gotta keep it fun and interesting.

Sabine- did...

My Lemon muffins turned out great! I used whole milk and I think the lemon curdled it so my cake had weird little brown spots all over it that resembled raisins. It didnt effect the flavor but next...
