    If you lost five pounds in a month, that's not "stuck"; that is slightly over a pound per week weight loss, which is entirely reasonable unless one doesn't have much weight to lose. However, you're losing that weight through a calorie deficit, not through the specific foods you eat or don't eat.

    It's seems slow going even with radical food choice changes. I cut back on my bread cheese chips and beer for lettuce wraps, more fish and skinless bird chkn/trky spiked seltzers and carrot sticks/pork rinds for snacks. along with boiled eggs and brkfst protein shakes and mountains of kale with everything...stuck at 215 but I'm not giving up as I know my efforts will bear fruit and I am eating healthier.

    It looks like you have made lots of changes in your diet. Are you going to be able to keep the new way of eating forever?
    Because when you go back to eating what you did before, before long you’ll weigh what you did before.

    Mine has a few more calories than yours, but I LOVE breakfast burritos and always have and probably always will.
    I don’t know how satisfied I would be with your shake. When I make breakfast burritos, I usually add a couple egg whites for volume and protein, 17 calories each. I do make them with corn tortillas, both for calories and taste, but to cut calories for a short time, I might eat them as a lettuce wrap.

    Thanks all. Yes I think I can replace one of my official 3 meals with a 'shake' type drink forever. I too love breakfast so I usually wind up eating breakfast for a lunch. I've always removed the skin from my bird, not added salt and never been big on bread and always paper toweled the grease from beef and sausage. We cook things in NuWave oven that uses air and infrared convection heat on a grill that auto drains grease and oils. (the lbs should be flying off ;-)) After logging for 2 months I confirm what I already suspected..my problem areas are eat after 7pm and snacks in the evening. Granted, I've replaced summer sausage/cheese and crackers, Ruffles or taco chips and salsa with pork rinds or cottage cheese and pears or nuts and melaleuca Simply fit baked crackers

    If you think you've reached a block on your weight loss, I noticed there is no exercise listed. Sometimes just pushing the envelope a bit, maybe adding just a bit of exercise, might be what you need to hit the next goal mark. I know when I've hit the wall, that's what's gotten me over it. ;)
