Hello TeachinNV

Its hard to tell from your menu description, but I would recommend a few things:

1. Start a journal and detail what you eat. People will read it an help you.

2. I don't think you are drinking enough water (especially if you think you are retaining). You need to drink more so your body doens't think its dehydrated and hold onto it. The general rule is 64oz PLUS 8 oz for every 25 pounds over goal weight. Are you taking potassium supplement?

3. What's in the ranch dressing? Perhaps make your own so you are sure there is no sugar or hidden carbs.

4. It is possible you are not getting enough calories. 10-12 times your body weight is recommended.

5. Eat more fat. To lose more, eat more fat.

If you are losing body mass, then that is GREAT. What is important is how do you feel? Do you feel better? If the answer is yes, then turn that frown upside down.

Take care
Kim
