I re-read my post and it does sound a little defensive...... Sorry ..... Must be my frustration coming out. So hard to eat right and still gain !!!!! I need all the help and support that I can get !
I am four years out ......have gained 40 lbs over the past three years.....I know that I am not alone in the "easy to gain category ", but I feel like it doesn't matter how well I eat, I still gain ! I know you are thinking that I must not record everything I eat and sometimes I don't, but for 90% of the time it is recorded......I just need to find the right course of action for me ..... Been looking for that miracle for over 50 years !!!!! We are all different and I will just keep trying !!!! Thanks for taking the time to write.
I wasn't thinking you were not recording your food at all. I was thinking how frustrating it must be to eat in a healthy way and not have your body respond. I also belong to the easy to gain group. Being four years out I was thinking it must be given harder. I know it is at 2 1/2 years out. I also literally have been struggling with diets and yo yo dieting since I was 10. I will be 60 this year. While WLS helped me loss easily, maintenance is still as hard as it was before. Hoping you can find a plan that will stop the gain. I am hear to give any support I can. We can't give up.
Need to commit my food today. Friday was way off tract
B-oatmeal blueberries and scoop of protein powder
L-salad with 2 oz of sliced deli roast beef
D-salmon and cabbage
S-have some leftover chicken if needed
Shoveling snow and cleaning my house today. Yoga cancelled.

Intake was 100-150 calories above what I've been doing the past several days. was just hungry Friday. Scale was down a pound this morning, so that was good. I'm at 176 and happy to be getting some distance from those 180s that I was seeing after the holidays.
TGIF, but baby it's cold outside and snowing with freezing rain...my bones are certainly singing me a song! Clearing out the junk, stick pretzels and the 5lb. unopened box of chocolates I got for Christmas. Prepping my veggies and seasoning my fish & poutry for the week or at least enough to last until Wednesday!
Tired of my knees creeking and tired of feeling fat and sluggish!!! New day, new start!!!
Waysta you have been posting your food consistently and looking at it there doesn't seen to be anything that stands out that would cause a weight gain. Maybe you could just switch something up to see if it makes a difference. You are doing well and eating healthy. I have noticed that the small gains have been much harder to take off the further out you get. I had a 10 pound gain at 15 months and lost 9 in 5 days doing all protein. I did it again in November and saw 6 pound loss in 5 days doing the exact same thing. I have been consistent with my health plan and have only weighed twice this month and have lost 1/2 pound. I was trying not to go hard core and do only protein, but I might have to in order to loss this gain. I would be okay with the gain, but my clothes have started to feel uncomfortable and I also feel differently in my body. If is so different now, I could gain 20 pounds before surgery and not even know it. Keep experimenting and see what works.
Wow ! Shift work would definetly throw my eating plans askew !! Plus not being able to concentrate on what goes into my mouth ! Nice job losing your weight on such a schedule !
Hi everyone. I've been off track a bit the last few days as I worked my usual night shift and it can throw my planning off. I take my meals, but I can't always sit calmly and eat and be mindful of what I'm doing. Then I'm super tired and have to watch my choices more carefully. Back to "normal" today.
B- 1/2 apple with almond butter, turkey roll up
L- 1/2 sandwich thin with tomato sauce/turkey pepperoni/mozzarella cheese
D- grilled chicken with a salad
S- almonds
Have a great day
