glad you got your weight loss and are dealing with less of the weight (mind wise) when you don't carb. got to figure in the long run it is better to get to your goal and get that over with.

@baskington - This week is going to be hard because now I 'brought the goal line closer' and my weight is already low enough that I 'have a chance to make my goal' this week, it will be disappointing to come in on Saturday at say 166lbs when my goal is 165lbs! We have a dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory planned for Saturday night... there is NO way for me to lose weight then.... ;) So I will just have to try again next week.

Great program and results...if you don't hit that # this week, it will be the next or the next. Then it's on to maintenance...

Nice loss and nice new BMI number - you will get there no problem!

That's good news. Team M&V is doing great.😊
Maybe if you check their menu online and pre-plan your meal you might have an easier time with eating out. That way you don't even have to look at the menu while at the restaurant and be tempted. Just a thought.

@Becc@ - I am going to take your advise, because no matter what I eat I have to log it, and it is better to do it before I eat, so I can decide if I REALY want to 'take the hit' for something...

@nikeit - Thanks1 I know BMI weight is a 'flawed number' but, psychologically it makes me feel like "It's ok to stop here".

@Steven Lloyd - If I do hit the number I plan to OMAD (One Meal A Day) during the week...

@chrisw77 - Today I plan to consume 90 carbs in Orange Juice to assist with my weight lifting. It will be interesting to see how that affects the 'Whoosh Effect'.

@chrisw77 - Yeah... that important piece was a little late, I already had a glass of OJ in the morning and the afternoon! :) But, I also had one right before my workout and was able to maintain my lifts so it was all good :)

How do you check your blood sugar level?

Awesome! You are almost there! OMAD should be enjoyable for you. Just make sure you ate close to bed time so you don’t eat more than you plan. Also don’t let your ego take a hit! Even at 160 you are basically lifting your own body weight!! That is crazy impressive!!

@CrashtestDawnie - Thanks! Well, I was able to hold my 180lbs lifts so my 'Ego' is saved for another day! :) In the past, when I try to eat OMAD, 5:00pm is the longest I have been able to 'hold off eating' and I go to bed at 9:00pm. I know it would be soooo much better if my 'eating window' were smaller, say 7:00pm-9:00pm

@60pack - I just bought a CareTouch meter on Amazon. I have to prick my finger to get the reading. I only track my morning fasted level, but a true diabetic would track their readings all day. The reason I know I am 'insulin resistant' is because I can have a 'fasted' blood glucose reading above 110! My body is ALWAYS suppose to produce insulin and reduce my blood sugar. If it does not reduce my blood sugar level, I risk blindness or leg amputation, or worse. But, after a lot of tracking I know I will have elevated blood sugar when I consume a lot of carbs. My only way of controlling this, other than drugs, it to simply limit the amount of carbs I consume :) just now
