Hello all... A little bit late but I'm here... I am just heart sick over the news from Las Vegas this morning. Last Thursday night as I was walking around Vegas I was thinking how great it would have been if I had known about this festival because I could have had my husband come out and we could have attended, this morning I am giving thanks that I had to fly home on Friday but saying prayers for all those who are affected in any way....

QOTD: I love Christmas... I love buying presents hate receiving them but love buying them and I love decorating the house.

My food for the day:

B: Bacon and coffee with premier

L: steak w/ veggies

S: peperoni and cheese

D: taco meat and cheese w/ tomato's

Be safe everyone....

Good morning menu friends -

I'm relaxing and enjoying my first of two days off. I have not done anything on my list of projects for today except for getting dinner ready. I found a crock pot Cuban beef recipe that I'm trying out. My best friend is coming for dinner so I hope it turns out well.

The scale is still annoying me. I really thought it would move for me today . 8 days now without a loss, unless you count the one pound I have been going up and down for the last week. I know it's just a stall and it will go down, but patience is not my strong suit. My 7 months will be here in 11 days and so far I have only lost 6.4 pounds for this month (half month). I really want to at least reach 10 pounds, but I am hoping for 12.

Today's menu

B - 1/2 Scoop protein powder in iced coffee SF creamer

L- 3.8 oz. Shrimp

D - Cuban Beef

S - Tuna pouch with buffalo mustard and pickle relish

S2 - 1/2 Scoop protein powder in iced coffee, SF creamer

Calories - 488, Protein - 74, Carb - 12

Edited to add 2nd snack ****d coffee)

Hang in there! It's hard as the scale starts to slow, but you will do this! Just keep on plan, and take deep breaths in between.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I am hanging in there.

You've got this! I here you though. We've all been there with stalls.

Howdy,

Been really busy with my travel business over the weekend and to be frank, I am really depressed about my weight loss over the last 3 weeks. A three week stall is hard to live with when you are eating 600 calories a day. My surgeon says I am not eating enough or getting enough protein. I average 75-90 per day. She thinks I need to add 3 protein shakes in addition to the food I am eating already and that I need 120-160 grams of protein during active weight loss. That would mean upping my calories per day or living on a liquid diet only to be able to achieve this.

QOTD: Don't really have a favorite holiday. They all require work! LOL I am feeling scrooge like today.....:(

Breakfast : Protein shake with almond milk 23 grams protein 125 calories

Cheesestick low fat 6 grams 60 calories

chicken breast, spinach and 1/2 of a low carb wrap 165 calories 24 grams protein

Snack? unsure

Dinner; shrimp, spaghetti squash with cheese 185 calories 25 grams protein

FF greek yogurt 13 grams protein 80 calories

Total: 615 calories 91 grams protein 70 ounces liquids

I think you should post your surgeon's advice on the main thread. I don't think that will help you break your stall but the vets will have good advice for you.

QOTD: I like Christmas better because my Son is usually on leave from the Navy. I have 4 kids son 21, daughter 19, son 14, and daughter 12. I miss when they were all home and young. I have 2 home now. I loved watching them open all there gifts in excitement.

I always feel odd to answer this post because I am still on a restricted diet. Anyhow here I go.

B: Premier Protein Caramel

L: Premier Protein Vanillia

D: Campbell Pea and Ham Soup 1 cup

S: Greek Low fat plain yogurt 1/2 cup

As of today Since seeing my surgeon for the first time in May I have lost 50 pounds.
