Give me the brand and I will look it up. As long as they are not very expensive I am willing to give it a shot.

Here's the one I have - Small & cheap.

Thanks. I will check it out. My Mom is actually mailing me a plate that is divided by protein/starch/fruit/vegetables and is already sectioned by portion size, this seems more realistic for me to try first before I buy a scale which will likely end up in the back of a cupboard somewhere.

This is not the plate she is giving me (mine has a section for fruit) but at least you will get the idea.

I know every body reacts differently, but carb cycling pulled me out of a 4 week plateau. Not sure if it was actually reducing the carbs a few days a week or moving from starchy veggies and white flour to green veggies and multi-grains that made the difference. It was very likely the combination, but it worked for me.

I decided to weigh in this morning since I felt lighter on my feet when I woke up (even though Saturday's are my official weigh ins) and I lost 2.5 pounds. I was finally able to snap my plateau and break out of the 280 pound range (cant think of the last time I have been under 280 lbs)

Ready to hit the 270s full force. Getting to 265 is my first mini goal (same weight as a UFC Heavyweight haha) With a few minor adjustments to my diet this helped me a lot.

You got this!

You are doing everything right and logging every day. Those logs are so important to show you where it goes wrong.

Doubtless you will hit another plateau along the way. Just stick with the plan and it will happen. Just stick with the plan.
