I don't know, but I'm craving every melon under the sun. SOMEBODY PLEASE help us. LOL

I'm bad as I don't keep a meal plan but everything on your list don't look bad to me. You eat better then me Donna

Well, I sure don't lose like you. Do you do much exercise? I am working out. Built a gym in my house. I have a treadmill, cycle, elliptical, free weights and a resist-a-ball. My loss is only 1-4 pounds per month. Most months 1-2 pounds. I still have over 30 pounds to go, to reach my goal weight and I was hoping to find a way to jumpstart the slow losing. Karen G

I don't go by goals. My surgeon said around 130lbs and I feel comfortable where I'm at now and that's around 153 sometimes as high as 156lbs. I feel it's where you feel comfortable at. I think I would look to thin at 130lbs. I also feel when you put that "GOAL" over your head your stressing your own body out. I have a whole gym in my house but with summer here I work a lot out in my yard. I will say that I do check my weight from time to time but stopped doing it on a daily bases and I have seen the scale bounce as high as 160lbs and I start pushing the water and protein and it cames back down. I'm still fitting in my womens 10 pants and juniors 12 pants so I'm happy. In fact I'm sitting here in my new shorts It's 94 degrees out. Donna Donna

Thanks for the compliment on the updated pic. If I ever get someone around, to take my picture for me... I'll try to add a full body shot. My surgeon doesn't set goals either, but my personal goal would be 150. I would be happy just to keep below 160. I am 5'3", so at 186, I still have some losing to do. I do notice that I am toning up. I haven't lost a pound in 6 weeks, but I dropped from a 34 inch waist to a 32 inch waist? Can't figure that one out...but I'm happy with it. I just came back from picking up a new pair of capri pants. Size 12. Hubby called and he's coming downtown for the Blue Jays game, so I needed a change of clothes. I'm dressed for my a/c office.... not for an open dome stadium. LOL Karen G

OH MY KAREN!! I did not even realize this was you until I clicked on your profile as I kept thinking. Who is this new person on the forum No kidding you lady. Love your new picture, what bab you turned into Donna

I was the same way last night Donna, I didn't even realize who Karen was until I looked at the profile. Karen, you look marvelous!!!! As far as your menu goes, it looks fine to me. Wish I ate that good all the time. I also don't make meal plans. I have a hard enough time coming up with meal plans for the family, and I just eat whatever I fix for them. Just with alot less of it. I do know we all lose at different rates... I haven't lost any further than where I am now at 175 in like 8 months. I'm beginning to think this might be it for me. However, between being sick and my surgeries, I had actually gone back up to like 193... thankfully, that has come back off now.... Just keep doing what you know is right for you... it has brought you so far already. Hugs, Susan

Thanks for the compliments on the photo change. I figured it was time for an update. Hey, if I can't get more weight off.... maybe I can find a way to stretch... as I am a shorty at only 5'3". LOL Karen G

Remember while you toning you gain body muscle which weights more and might be why your not seeing a big drop in weight and also while your toning your losing inches and that's you see the change in inches. Donna
