Newbie to Maintenance

Hello,

I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks trying to learn what the vets do.  It has been helpful

I am 18 months post op and trying to work out maintenance.  I have lost 227 pounds and am 18 pounds below my personal goal weight of 155 (currently 137.8).  I would like to take part in the daily accountability you are doing.  Below is my day today copied and pasted from My Fat Secret tracker that I use faithfully everyday.

The total carbs are higher than i like to go generally, but there were lots of good fiber choices.

If anyone has any feedback I would love to hear.    Thanks!

(See the next post.  It wouldn't fit in this one.)

It looks good to me. Don't you just love carbquick? I recently foundout that Tova makes carbalose ap flour! not as expensive but seriously? 3 lbs of flour for $9.00? I'm hesitant.

I think you're doing good. Are you getting enough water? Doing any exercise? All of that is good.

Keep after it. You're doing great.

Maintenance can be scary..Welcome to the wonderful world of staying in one place. LOL.
