    Looks good Tracey. Looks like what my son eats on his diet. Did you make those beans? I need bean recipes. I'll look up 'speckled butter beans'.

    I bought the beans frozen and they were cooked in my instant pot.

    I wish Fiber One would make gluten-free options! I need the fiber, and they look so good! I am going to see if there are any options at Whole Foods. I would start eating those with my meal.

    I used to love fiber one bars and I'm going to get me some high fiber and low calorie ones this weekend :)

    I like the fiber one bars. My local Martin's Food Store had 4 boxes for $10 so I picked up 4 boxes.

    I really like your plan of alternate day keto-ing.

    I love Fiber One bars too. I tried it the first time just after Christmas and bought 5 boxes back with me lol.

    Ohhh...crab cakes...that's what i love ordering in seafood restaurants. Never had one at home. I'm not eating as many simple carbs lately too. No rules but eating that way.

    Meal looks fantastic, Tracey. Love everything you've got on that plate of food. We've got the same taste!

    Well I changed my official weigh in day back to Friday so no chart today. My weight for today though was 153.5. I will post my official chart on Friday.

    Nice weigh-in! Has the alternate LC been working well so far?

    The alternate LC has been awesome. I believe that was the key to my success. I will definitely keep going with that.

    Good job Tracey, it looks like you've got this under control now.

    I believe I do Jim, I believe I do. This new plan is getting me to the point where I am not always concerned about what to do. I know what the plan for the day is, I stick to it, and I am able to maintain. My confidence is getting to where I believe I will soon be at the point where I won't need to weigh everyday and can move to weighing in once a week. If I hold steady the rest of this month, I think I will try weighing only on Fridays in February.

    Well done on the loss! Great to hear that your new plan is working.

    Can't wait to see your chart update!
