Thank you, Roz! Going back to my shakes for sure and lots of water. Thankfully I've not gotten back to drinking soda. There's the occasional sweet tea but I can go without that. High protein/Low carb is it!
Going to make my list of what I ate early on. Scrambled eggs were my favorite! I hadn't done the beef jerky early on because I was having issues with gluten early on (man, I kinda wish that were the issue now). I will look into that too though now that it's not an issue for me.

I did better today too. Stuck with 2 protein shakes and a small thing of almonds for a snack in the early afternoon. I considered the a day a test run because I hadn't filled hubby in on my plan. Dinner wasn't as planned for me - hubby brought Valentine's Day dinner home. I ate most of the salad and a little lobster ravioli.
Tomorrow will be much better than today food-wise!

I know the memory loss is really scary. I hate it but I'm not sure what I can do about it. My parents are always working on puzzles and reading, but I don't know how much that helps.

That's funny. he must be having memory problems like me....LOL.
My hubby gets so excited when he buys me something. He can hardly hold off giving it to me early. The card he gave me was Beautiful and Encouraging. I'm still having trouble with the short term memory loss. Some days it seems better but today was a bad day. My brain scan came back good today and I'm waiting for the "memory" clinic to call me so I can go for some more testing.
I haven't skipped a single dose of my B-12 or my multi vitamins.

It sounds like a plan Ladies!!!! GET EXCITED.....IT'S A NEW BEGINNING!!!
I think going back to 2 or 3 Good Protein Drinks and concentrating on Protein foods should get you jump started! I wouldn't give up until the excitement of the scales moving in the right direction gets you back on track. I would try my best to eliminate bad carbs like bread and pasta. Cut back on the fruit too if that's something you have been eating. Think low carb and high protein for as long as you can. I'm not as concerned about how much I eat as I am about what I eat. Some days I eat all day long.
Make a list of foods you ate early out and stock up so they are available. I loved Beef Jerky back in those days! Sometimes I still overdose on Beef Jerky and Scrambled Eggs....LOL.
Up your water intake if you can and get rid of any sugary or diet drinks.
I can't wait to hear updates!!!!

I did better today, so I'll call this a practice day. I diluted the milk I use in protein coffees and shakes and skipped the Greek yogurt. I did have some Valentines Day candy though. It was a start in the right direction. We'll see if it made any difference in the morning.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
Happy Valentines Day LW's!!!! My hubby got me roses and a beautiful card. He even sat at the gym this evening at our DD's gym while I worked at the front desk. We've been married over 43 years and he's still my Sweetheart. I hope you all have a significant that makes you Smile!!

I'm not sure what the right answer is but I'm willing to try going back to protein shakes for everything but dinner and only having that as a small protein and green veggie meal. I think I need to come off mixing my protein coffees with so much milk and use 1/2 as much water as milk. I think I may try to drop the Greek yogurt at breakfast. I don't know if the change will help kick start some weight loss but I'm willing to try it. I also know I need to increase the amount of plain water I drink and come off the soft drinks. Man! Do you want to do this with me? We can do this!
