I think the key is updating if you make changes or add things to our menus.  I'm guilty of that so this is one thing I'm working on changing.  I need to be accountable ALL day long!

Good Start!

You must be from some place warm if you have garden asparagus. 

Sounds Good!

Hi Roz,
I did good yesterday and my scale was back down this morning where I felt much better, but now I need to stick with it so it does not go back up.  I am so afraid of the bounceback and am wondering if I did not go low enough to have enough room for it.

B:  Protein Decaf Coffee
S:  Decaf Coffee w/ SF Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
S:  Lemon Tea Protein Drink
L:  Salad w/ grilled chicken breast, lite rasp. vineg dressing
S:  Lemon Tea Protein Drink
Pre-Workout:  Graham cracker w/ peanut butter
D:  Lettuce Leaf, Deli Ham & Roast Beef, Cheese, Tomato, Lite Mayo made into Sandwich
S:  Cookies & Cream Protein Drink w/ Cookie Dough Syrup

Vitamins:  Done
Water/Fluids:  120 ozs 
Miles: 3 miles ran/ 1/2 mile walked

I didn't understand the bounce back before now.  When our bodies start absorbing more then we gain weight.  I think as long as we are eating the right things and not foolishly thinking we can still lose (during the losing stage) and eat bad foods the bounce back should be minimal.

I'm one of those foolish people who increased my calories thinking I should be on mainteanance and now it is back firing on me.

I think you have learned from the WW cakes that we have to pay for our mistakes and now you are going to do just fine.

Great Menu!

I'm not sure I understand the bounce back yet.  If when we stop the malabsorption and we continue eating the way we did when we malabsorbed will we then start gaining or just stop losing and maintain?

I increased my exercise some to try and offset some of this, but since I let some of my bad habits and bad foods back into my life it has been a little harder to stay away from them if they are around.

I'm sure I eat more calories now than I did a year ago.  I have not been very good to track mine lately.  I should probably take a day or two and really track everything that goes in my mouth and also do the weighing and measuring.  I know when we eyeball things we probably get more than we really think we are getting.  I'll have to find my little calorie counter thing that I used to use.

Now to just stick to the menu for the entire day!!

I think you have hit the nail on the head...at least as far as I'm concerned.  I used to get away with a few extra bites because my body didn't absorb everything and now that it does I've put on a few pounds. 

I'm going to try keeping track every day and try to stay within the percentages that I have set for myself and see if I can drop down to the next 3 lb. range.  My goal isn't to get down to my low weight or even close to it.  I just would like to figure out how to maintain my weight in the middle of my Normal BMI range.

I was back down this morning too, thank goodness. I still would like to get back to my low instead of hanging around my high.

Drove Poppy this morning then to the gym. I did 10 min on the bike, 10 on the elyptical, 3 on the stepper, my machines then 5 laps in the pool and ended in the hot tub. Now I need to get out and plant the stuff I bought on the way home, some garden, some flowers.

decaf protein coffee 35g
egg, turkey bacon
lemon tea 23
chicken leg quarter baked, salad
protein bar 15g
salmon, green beans
protein cake 20g
