Thanks Mary. I am going to try it so that I can break below the weight I have been for awhile.

Annette, Please keep us updated as to how you are doing with it. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like a good plan. Mary

Thank you I have been looking for a list like this. The doctor says I need to lose a little more. I dont think so but he does. Thank you again Dana

Isn't it frustrating when we think we are right where we want to be and the doctor wants more. I was fortunate that my surgeon set a very realistic goal for me. I'm only 5'1" and started my journey at 305 (altho my highest weight was 330). My surgeon said that he would guarantee that I could get to 180 and he would be very pleased with that for me. I'm at 174 and would like to lose more. His realistic goal really helped me with my "mind games". So I'm taking it a day at a time and trying to stay on track. My health has done a dramatic turn-around and I'm doing so well. Let us know how the plateau breaker works for you. Mary
