I've been stuck @ 97lbs lost for all of December, its a great success, but too close to 100 to have it stall before the new year. A friend reminded me to go back to measuring & using fitness pal to record calories. Wow, an eye opener this wk. Somehow I reverted slowly to higher carb/fat intake than my proteins & my portions were more than I thought. I'm 7 months out & eating 1/2 cup per meal. But I get hungry every 2 hrs & found that I was eating 1/2 c during snack time too. So yesterday I went back to protein 1st, 1/2 cup meals & 2 oz protein snacks. My caloric intake was down by 300 & the scale moved down 1.5 lbs!
So if you or I get stuck, we need to get back to basics
... protein 1st & honest portions. I have a feeling this will still be a lifelong battle, even when I reach my ultimate goal.
