I can maintain through the week, but weekends & holidays are always a struggle!
And going out to eat always throws me off...I've yet to go to a decent type restaurant where entrees aren't at least 1000 calories!
I split in half but still end up going over my daily goal on restaurant days...
Afternoons I usually crave something sweet & chocolate is usually my drug of choice...if I allow myself.
And I used to love to get in bed at night with a good book and snack...another struggle.
So yes...have a meal plan, but often 'add' to it!
And yes Jen...sugar...smdh...it's the devil!

Judy,
Glad everything checked out at doctor. I don't remember how tall you are, but at 5'9" I began to look too thin when I got down to 230. Sounds funny, but that felt like a good weight for me.
Surgeon wanted me to get down to 160-175, but that is what I weighed my senior year in HS & got nicknamed string bean. I am definitely a big boned woman of partial German descent.
So my point is maybe 235 isn't THAT bad if all else is good???
And yes, what is the med you are talking about? Yvonne mentioned something awhile back but it was like an amphetamine so I couldn't take it...

I just try to eat protein first but I still struggle with sugar. I am about ten years post RNY and I never got to my goal weight but have maintained at almost 100 pounds lost. I would love to get to my goal weight. I know that I could if I could ditch sugar once and for all.
Does anyone else have trouble sustaining ANY kind of food plan? I can only seem to keep it together for a few days before I go off the rails again? I've been hungry and eating too much ALL day!

So today I went to see my family Dr. Was shocked that my BP was 124/80. Weight was OMG so ashamed of myself...235. 
I asked him if I could try that drug that one of you mentioned. He said YES! 
So now I wait for it to arrive in the mail and start taking it. Then I go back to see him on November 6th to see how I am doing on it. I just hope that my insurance covers it. I am also going for blood work in the morning and when I go next month for my pap I am supposed to ask them to set me up for a bone density scan. Not time yet for my mammogram. All my colonoscopies and other one that goes down my throat is all set had those done a couple years ago. 
So I am getting checked out good in my "old" age!!! Didn't ask how many tubes of blood tomorrow...LOL Will wait and see when I get there!! 
Getting some light storms right now off and on. Hopefully they stay that way. Hate BIG storms now.
So that is it for me today.
Nice seeing our board starting to pick up again!!! 
HUGSSSSSSSSSS
I was never good with the scale either. How about the use of your hand for measuring?
Tonight we are having chicken wings and a veggie.
Trying to keep the carbs low, the protein high. Not perfect but at least I'm trying.
Any great tips? I'm not consistent with the food scale.?
