LOL Helmet head can't be bad at all! Try it, it would def keep your body guessing switching things up. I think I am ready to lose too. I am noticing I am eating too much carbs, cereal/oatmeal, wheat thins at every meal. I often eat apples, raisins, (and grapes I can't help myself when I have a bowl ready for the kiddos). I eat avocados (fruit? lol), lime/lemon juice in salads on top of salsa's and almond milk. I prob should swap out some grains for protein. I feel like such a rebel though, I WANT to lose and did eating as much bread OH AND vanilla creamer as I could lol. You are right! It really is a mystery,that is why I stick to my comments of believing and REALLY wanting it, enough to change something/anything. Hey. Maybe thats it! We all change something when we want to lose whether its a strict diet or choosing healthier options, its a change! And if you are convinced-believing it would work. Maybe. idk. MYSTERY lol Is an americano stronger? I have a coffee w/ half and half when I go to starbucks, rarely anything else. Why did you cut milk out? I've noticed.. that since almond milk, MR C raaaaarely visits :) and the dry bumps on my arms are gone but my skin isn't 100%. (supposedly high in Vitamin E.  

*not wheat thins at every meal, lunch mostly. and I meant to wonder if I eat too much fruit, but I've managed. I can't reach for carrot sticks and broccoli, never did -thats sounds too diety for me.  

Hey Maybe you are gluten sensitive? I get the skin thing on my arms and bum when I eat wheat. Rubbing myself with an industrial strength loofah and moisturizing helps... Low fat/non fat milk is high in sugar. I have really tried to cut down on the enormous amount of sugar in my diet. Americano is espresso and water I think? I get decaf. I hate coffee, actually, lol. 

Silly sausage!!! It is funny because what worked 3 years ago doesn't seem to be working now!! Oh I don't know either. I just know that it goes on and on and on and for myself I need to be able to find that balance of acceptance while not giving up on my goals. I ate a whole 7 oz chicken breast tonight. It was delicious, I was hungry, and so I did it!!! Who is Mr C? I still secretly wish there was a secret I could unlock, a magic pill I could take and I would be "done" all fixed up YAY!!! Carol is now a skinny woman!!! LOL!!! Bigger fish to fry than that ... so I trudge along. Anyway ... so grateful to have such wonderful company along the way!! 

LOL Carol. Dens, don't say that! lol I'm telling you I love gluten. To be honest, I've been curious to read more about it. I just don't want to find out I should be off it. I really don't know what made me switch milks but months later I realized I hadn't had the 'C' issue. Gosh I had it often. And skim taste so gross to me now lol I guess I should figure it out. Wah! But bumps are gone now, so it can't be.  

Still wanting to know what mr c is... I'm with CArol..what used to work isn't working and I want a magic pill. No pill- still working on finding what to eat, what to keep, what to cut out... You must work in a great place if helmet head is ok at the office LOL- go you!! You are doing amazing!! 

From my experience, the smaller you get the longer it takes to lose another pound. You'll get there! But in the mean time, you've already done such a great job... Enjoy the victory! 

Mr C = constipation...lol  

You're right, we have come to the same WOE. Grain-free, dairy-free and low sugar. I've really been liking Coconut and almond milks lately, they both come in unsweetened varieties that are only 1 net carb per 8 oz. We don't know the magic solution and it is different for everyone so we all have to keep trying.... Still, I wish I was at 130. I would take 150 right now. Thanks for inspiring!
