This is what I normally eat, if I don't eat anything off of the plan and drink water I lose weight. But if I stick one thing more in my mouth, I gain a pound or don't lose. I don't think my menu is bad. I do pretty well, but losing weight now is tougher than ever in my life. I know its because I don't have as much to lose. I guess its like when we used to hear smaller people say they need to lose 5 lbs and how tough it is. I guess we are now those smaller people and losing 5 lbs is tough!! I was just disappointed because I really didn't want to stray off of the plan. I did good today except for the small bag of mini pretzels, which again isn't bad. I try to plan dinner, but it can change. I don't worry on that as much, as long as I followed during the day. I just eat a sensible/normal dinner.
