Crackers are ok if you eat them in moderation..but I'd cut the carbs as much as possible. If you come short on protein,,have your protein shake. Prepared in various ways,,I like eggs, cheese, steak, bacon, jerky, refried beans (I like to layer with fat free cream cheese, salsa, refried beans and fat free cheddar cheese and bake..makes a good dip for the pork rinds) and other beans, pork rinds, brussel sprouts, greek yogurt, cottage cheese..and the list goes on. Do a search for rich protein foods and you should come up with a list. I would lay off of the "salad" unless it's fat free.

what did you eat them with?

Awesome! Way to go, Lilee!!!

I'm down 2.2 pounds this week. From 254 to 251.8. Looking forward to the 240's..I should have a clothing size change soon! Happy Saturday everyone!

You can have about any cream soup or pudding. I pureed homemade potato and veggie soup. You can puree most anything as long as it doesn't remain chunky and keep it thinned out. I also ate cream of wheat thinned out during full liquids week. I'd either cheese it up or have it sweetened with a little honey and butter. Sf pudding pops or sf fruit bars,,check your frozen section.

Try the broth of wonton soup, it's delicious and satisfying,,and a clear liquid but doesn't taste like fake chicken broth. Let a family member eat the wontons.

Good job! Congrats!!!

3 months today..that's all..just wanted to shout it! wooooo hooooo! woot woot! This morning's total.. down 47 pounds (That's including losing the 13 leak pounds twice.lol)

favoredone,,,this is so funny..I thought Willow was talking about me so I was searching this post and thought I was losing my mind till I re read your original post. I have 6 sisters as well..and a brother..LOL All this time we've talked,,I musta missed it!

sleeved & hopeful...Like what kind of problems?

That's precious.lol Kids say the cutest things. I had pain for a good month..not related to my leak..dr said there's alot of tugging and such when pulling the stomach out. Then there's the swelling...I think the pain is to be expected after such an ordeal.

Yay! Sounds like a wonderful time,,I look forward to camping, cooking out, hiking,,all that good outdoor stuff I've missed out on for so long.

OMG,,I weigh the same as Vance.LOL But that's ok,,I'm down another pound this week from 255 to 254..I humbly admit that I had a freakin' out week and totally thankful for that pound.

Oh snap! momof4! I posted on a bad day,,,please don't think you can't do it..we can kick this fat in the big ole booty! I don't know what I did but I whined for nothing,,well not the biggest loss but not only did I lose the 3 pounds,,I lost another pound..I don't know what's up with that...it was 1 day. I don't weigh everyday,,I just had a feeling yesterday morning so I weighed..maybe the Saturday weigh ins should be just that,,weigh in on Saturday..ONLY! It does help,,if you want to join the weigh in, momof4 we can help motivate each other.

I've been more than positive over the past few weeks. I'm trying to stay that way but after reading for the 3rd time how "you'll just melt away"..it's just not happening for me. This is the hardest I've ever had to work at losing weight. I don't have regrets but I'm not jumping for joy either. I've always been a hard worker and I don't expect things to come easy but I don't understand why I'm not melting away. I lost 5 pounds last week just to gain 3 back this week...I'm just feeling really discouraged this morning,,maybe it's the rain.

That's not much better..get well soon,,you'll be in my prayers!

I do inclined walking everyday on my treadmill and I work out on the home gym. Guess I'll mix up my eating routine and see what happens. Thanks yall. I can't figure out myfitnesspal..it seems a bit complicated for me. If I had someone to show me how to use it, it might be a good tool for me.
