I sent a few days (below) to my dietitian, she gave me a thumbs up on the food but I am still not loosing. I go in for another fill on Monday, maybe I am just still eating too much? What do you guys think?

It doesn't look like you're eating too much, but what you're eating is very different from what my doctor recommends.

I know they all have their own protocols, but mine recommends postponing the addition of potatoes/starchy veggies/breads until at least 75% of excess weight is lost.

His patients do seem to have a higher rate of loss and achieve greater losses than the average.

I'm not suggesting that you dismiss what your doctor and nutritionist have told you, but maybe a little tweaking and substitution--at least short-term--would get you off your plateau :thumbup:

Hi Betsy, thanks for the input! You are the only one who answered me. I know many docs say do no carbs or low carbs but my doc is all about eating NORMALLY. Anything you want in moderation focusing first on protein, then veggies then fruits & carbs. I need to do better with veggies....I send my doc my food diary and the dietitian and I email a lot.

My plateu is over I think! I am at 196 now and super happy!! WHOOO HOOOOOO!!!!

What I am eating today for lunch is tortilla chicken from Bandtastic Meals. I carry one of their pre-done meals every day for lunch. They are quick, easy and I dont have to worry about other people in the office asking weird questions about my new eating habitats.
