Weight gain?

Hey all,

I reported in a couple weeks ago that I was going to stop the daily weigh-ins because they drive me insane. Instead I have just been weighing in on Fridays. Anyhow, I am up two pounds. I know I had been having slip ups but I have really improved and I'm a little confused as to what happened. 127 is definitely too big for me and I'm not fitting in my clothes very well anymore. Any advice?

Thanks!

130/127/125 or below

Hi vaper!


Can you post some menus for us to take a peek at?

Ok, I did a quick survey of my menus over the past two weeks. While my menu varies, my trends are the same. Basically I stick to Phase II perfectly for two or three days a week. Another two or three days I cheat . . . usually it is work food and I'll eat a few crackers or something sweet. Another two or three days I will overdo some of the good SBD foods like too many nuts, too much fruit, or too many grains. So that seems to be my problem.

I need to reign in the slip ups. I actually do not like cheating for the most part. Special occasions are one thing but I generally eat bad work food because I'm hungry and that is what is available. So I stocked up on almonds and I'm bringing even more veggies into work this week. I'm not sure how to cut back on the overdoses of good food although I threw out my peanuts that tempted me after work and I bought almonds which I like much less and thus am less likely to over do. I think if I pay closer attention to my menu I can make sure I'm not having too many grains.

As far as the right amounts of good foods, I generally get in all my veggies, plenty of lean proteins, and the only place I need to improve is with dairy. I am lactose intolerant so this is hard. I always have a glass of soy milk in the morning and I need to add another cup of something at night. I tried yogurt but it still bothers my stomach a bit so I think I'll make up some sf/ff pudding this week to supplement my dinner. I also need to make sure I eat enough because it's when I get too hungry that I slip up.

Anyhow, that's my self analysis for the day! I know I can make it back to 125 soon!
