The scale is down again this morning. I remembered that in the past when I mI had a light or liquid evening meal - smoothie or soup or cereal and milk...not a HUGE bowl of pasta with sauce or a "meal" SO have been doing that for a few days and it seems to be helping. I am still keeping an eye on the fr/v at ever meal and the GHGs/exchanges so...
GHGs - had the white rice at breakfast but whole grain toast for lunch so 1/2-1/2 for that section fr/v at every meal journaled every BLT(bite, lick, taste) within calorie goal for the day
klf722 , Hooray for another good day and feeling good!
starchild68 , I am also trying to get back to goal. You are much closer than I am and know you will do it one way or another. Let us know how the WW session goes and what you decide about flour. Your meals sound yummy and healthy!
cj59 , I had to look for the GHG's to copy and paste. I have them written down and printed out but thought to remind myself. Glad you liked seeing them. The 9th is exercise but as I am not doing it left it off...think it was a tack-on by some but never official The other thing I often do is track exchanges instead. In 1984 when I joined you started with 2 exchanges of bread/cho and a LOT of protein with the bread moving up to 3 servings eventually and like 7 protein. Then later on they kind of balanced carb and protein exchanges and made them equal even though that meant more calories of carb than protein. I think we have to figure out what works for us as individuals. I have on paper: points, core/sft, My Plate servings by food and calorie level, My Pyramid exchanges by calorie level, etc. In the end I think most about My Plate as it seems easiest: 1/4 protein, 1/4 carb, 1/2 vegetable then add in a fruit and dairy and the oil for the day. It is easy for me to get way more carb than protein doing a more vegetarian/vegan diet than omnivore/carnivore one... I wish I had a larger freezer as I love having some frozen fruit and veg on hand. The freezer is so small and filled with grains and nuts (to avoid bugs) and ice cube trays/bucket that there is no room for food!

cathygeha - I agree that we all have to find what works for us. I've been using a modification of several WW plans and some calorie counting for my plan. Today -

Reporting for Friday
🤔 That would be a little puzzled/concerned face...I did choose wisely and avoid breadlike foods at all three meals but my weigh in on Sat. a.m. showed a slight gain, so, what the heck!? Well, my pastry overindulgence earlier in the week likely played into the result. Lesson? One day doesn't make or break the Gong. I need to let it go, enjoy the experiment.
