wow that is a very yummy meal, do you eat the bun with the burger? and im assuming no fries. i cant believe its only 8 net carbs! thats amazing. so is 40 your CCE? if so how much weight have you been losing weekly? how ever which matter, your advice has been very useful!!!

That burger was bunless - or else it would have been 38g net instead of 8g - and it was good. And I'm getting ready for Pre-Maintenance, so I am currently increasing my daily net carbs to 40g this week until I pass 135 pounds, then I will begin Pre-Maintenance and increase my daily net carbs by 10g each week until I find where I stop losing.

Since weight loss isn't linear and my weight fluctuates anyway, I look at overall trends more than specific weights. I weigh daily, but only the record milestone or lowest weights I reach in my ticker history.

It took me nearly three months to lose the most recent five pounds. It may take me another three months to lose the next five pounds - and that suits me fine. More importantly, as my weight fluctuates, it has been fluctuating around a lower number as the months go by. I used to fluctuate between 140-142, then 138-140, now I fluctuate between 135-137. Slow and steady wins the race!
