I started at 315 and the lowest i got was 186. Now i am back to 204. Someone give me pointers on how to get some of these pounds off??

#1 - Don't waste time beating up on yourself. You have MAINTAINED a loss of 111 pounds.

#2 - Get back to basics, log all your food, measure your Water, 30-30-30, Protein then veggies, then fruit, then carbs

#3 - Take a break from processed foods and watch things that trigger you to overeat. For me, carbs make me crave more (and stupider choice) carbs. But you know what sets you off.

#4 - No alcohol or sweet drinks

It's really about getting back to what worked in the first place. I'm no expert on getting back on the wagon after surgery, but I've failed enough diet plans over the last 45 years to know what the reset button looks like. And, definitely, ask for support when you need it!

What does 30 30 30 mean. What is an example of processed foods?

One suggestion I've seen is to go for a total reset--that is, go back on something like Protein Drinks for two meals and the third lean meat and veggies. Try that for a week or two and then gradually move back to regular (but appropriate) meals.

Good luck.

Thanks and that's what I'm thinking too!!

30-30-30 No drinking before meals for 30 minutes, during meal, or 30 minutes after meal

Processed foods; frozen dinners, deli meats, canned foods. These tend to be high in fat and preservatives

processed food is anything sold in a store that is not on the 3 walls 1 fruit/veggie wall 2 meat(protein) wall 3 dairy wall . It is all the stuff in the center of the store. yea that much.

comes in a box and you cant pronounce most of the things on the ingredients list
