Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!    Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!     

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with good choices during the Honeymoon Period!!!!!

I almost wrote  it's Monday and great to be back at work but I guess it's Tuesday and Great to be back at work.  We were Blessed with a beautiful Grandson yesterday...Bladen Eric.  6 lbs 11oz. 19" long.  All of our other Grandbabies have been over 8 lbs. My DD can't get over how tiny he is. DD only weighed 5 lb. 11 oz. when she was born and she barely covered DH's hand.

Wed=147 protein 50 carbs,1056 calories. Thursday =141 protein 50 carbs,1016 calories. Friday= 135 protein and 48 carbs,930 calories

what am I doing wrong? I'm sitting the same up and down. This is the first week ive had this many carbs, they are in the 50's because of the protein bar. Should I go back to 800-900 calories? I am told to eat 1200 by the doctor, but 1 I can't fit 1200 healthy calories in and keep my carbs low and 2 I think 1200 should be my maintenance number? I'm stuck.

I don't see any  bad carbs in your menu.  I personally don't keep track of my carbs (I try to avoid bad carbs). They only thing I really keep track of is my Protein drinks.  One thing I rarely eat is Protein bars.  They set my appetite off for junk foodsl.

How far out are you?  I never took in 1000 calories until I was almost to goal.  I tried to stay in the 800-900 range.

I'm five months out. People say go up others say go down . I do all the suggestions alternating weeks and I feel I'm going no where.  I was eating 800-900. I went up for this week. Will go back down next week.

Sounds like a Plan!
