But I work all day and run after a 2 year old so i get my daily work out haha....Just curious how yall doing??? what are you guys eating these days and how much approx?? Thank you soooo much you guys look WONDERFULL!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of you guys...Hope i hear from you !!! :)

Hi Stefanie! Welcome back and congrats on the great weightloss!! Grazing is the bane of my life these days. If I let myself pick at food all day I can easily eat 2000 calories. So I pretty much have to limit myself to several small planned meals a day. It really helps keep me at a stable weight. I've also completely stopped loosing at 155. No matter what I do and how strict I am with diet and exercise I don't loose anything more. I've resigned myself to the fact that this is where my body would like to stay. It's more of a struggle now than it was and I have to watch what I eat these days but I think I'm getting into a good groove. As for types of food, I still have to be very careful with sugar and I still can't eat a ton of meat unless it's ground beef or ground turkey. I try to stay between 1000 and 1500 calories per day...usually more toward the 1000 end. I also am still getting in two protien shakes per day, otherwise my protien levels definitely drop off and it shows up in my blood work. Corinna Q

Hi Corinna, Thanks for replying :).. Question like an example of what you eat...A pizza or a sandwich how much of it do you eat??ummm i dont really measure food like i should i guess by now i kinda learned how much i can handle.I dont do very well with meat either.But i sometime wonder if i eat to much.I try to get under 165 and no matter what i do no pounds drop but i am satisfied where i am at.You look great by the way.Do you snack at all?Are you on a strict diet?? Well hope to hear from you.. Take care.. Stefanie :)

Let's see...I can typically eat two slices of pizza at a time or a half sandwich, one ground beef enchilada with a bit of salad, 2 oz of tuna salad, a cup of pasta w/ sauce, less is there is meat. I can eat probably two cups of salad (again, no meat), plain chicken less than 2 oz, beef and pork, the same, even if it's in a sauce. I'd snack constantly if I let myself. So yeah, I have to be pretty strict about it most of the time. For awhile I was staying under 30 grams of carbs per day but that was in an effort to loose weight which didn't work in the least. I've kind of gotten off that band wagon but it helps to do it for three or four days a week just to stay on track. Otherwise I just really try to plan my meals and limit my grazing to veggies or a piece of fruit and even that grazing I keep pretty limited or I tend to go off the deep end. Corinna
