Thanks! Honestly....just eating a lot LESS. Making sure I have cut up vegetables to snack on. Really staying away from processed foods. I've got a new rule - if I want something sweet or a "treat," I must make it myself. So last night I made zucchini brownies and had one. I have had a few extravagant meals since I started for special occasions, but I plan for them, really eat lightly the rest of the day, and most importantly, get right back on the bus the next morning.

I also try to delay my first meal of the day especially during the weekdays. I find I'm no less hungry if I eat at 7 am versus 11 am.

This is a pretty typical day for me eating wise -

7 am - coffee with a little 1% milk and Splenda

11 am - light English muffin, two eggs, avocado mash

mid-afternoon - either nonfat greek yogurt with fruit and some keto-friendly granola (like 2-3 tablespoons) or cut up vegetables, something like that. Or sometimes I'll do the yogurt-fruit-granola thing earlier in the day and have some dinner leftovers for lunch.

6/7 pm dinner - broiled salmon, steamed or roasted vegetables with a little bit of olive oil. Sometimes it's lean pork, chicken, or another protein, but basically always a protein and vegetable. Maybe some black beans too.

I'm proud of myself. But it also is not a lot of fun being pretty hungry most of the time and not being able to just grab some cookies or steal my kids' Halloween candy.

Still at 150 (149.5 this morning). I'm going to step it up now.

I want to get to 144 or so within the next 6 weeks.

I need to eat NO chocolate or cookies at all

How long have you been cutting calories? Maybe you need to add calories to jolt the weight loss?

Lost 5 lbs tracking calories and macros. It’s tedious but I’ve learned a lot about my nutrition and plan to stick with it until I lose my remaining 6lbs. My diet is very healthy except I had to stop eating cheese. Too much fat. I LOVE feta, it’s hard.
