First of all, thank you all for your kind words or encouragement. This place has definitely been a blessing on my journey thus far.
As far as the stall goes, I have been trying to mentally prepare myself for that for the last couple of weeks. I know it WILL happen, it's just a matter of WHEN. I don't know how I'll take it when it happens, but I'm trying to remember that I've done well so far and never expected to see even this much success. Also, I've put on the weight over several years so can't expect it all to come off immediately. (Of course, when this stall does happen, I probably won't be thinking of any of that.  )
Did you really want to see my menu?? It varies, but I guess it typically goes something like this:
Breakfast ~ around 8:00 am
1 or 2 sausage patties OR a few strips of bacon
an omelet consisting of 1 or 2 eggs and some sauted veggies
If I'm in a hurry (or wanting something sweet) I'll fix a mock danish but that doesn't keep me satisfied as long. Or if I have any leftovers from supper the night before, I'll eat that.
Lunch ~ usually around 2:00 pm since I'm not hungry til then
salad - I've gotten tired of the lettuces right now and will have plenty later on in the garden so I've been using cabbage instead
typically add in one or more of the following: cucumber, mushroom, jicama, and then top with my 1-carb/serving salad dressing, which is the only packaged lc product that I have been using.
Supper/Dinner ~
This varies more than the rest, especially since some evenings I just don't have an appetite
Sometimes I'll have a chicken breast (or two)
or hamburgers
or bacon (can't get too much bacon  )
I've tried a bacon cheeseburger casserole I found here and that was good.
Lately I've been having a lot of a ground beef concoction that I made up. It's basically just sauted veggies (onion, green pepper, cabbage, garlic, mushroom) mixed with some browned ground beef and a little cream cheese for some added flavor and to help hold things together a bit. It sounds weird, I know, but I enjoy it.
Edited to add: I also drink at least a gallon of water each day and no other liquids like soda or coffee.
Plus I've been getting quite a bit more exercise than I used to so I'm sure that plays a key role in the quick weight loss too.
I am a bit concerned about my skin's elasticity, especially in my stomach area. But I guess time will tell with that.
Well, I got a bit long winded, but thanks to each of you for your posts and encouragement. I know it will help keep me on the right path to lose my next 27 pounds, even if it takes a LOT longer.
