@harringtonen Just keep moving forward! Do what you can do and learning is the key! My perspective needed to change and now I can see how I relate to food a bit differently. Make small daily goals and go from there!

@RangerRickL Thank you! It was a nice surprise!

@Slimpossible007 Yes Some of my sugars is fruit! So I'm not too worried but I am trying to cut where I can (except for coffee in the morning!) I think zig zagging is working well so far. I know that I've plateaued for a VERY long time probably due to menopausal stuff raging in my body right now. Good luck you can do this!!

Thanks again Rick!! I will definitely think about that! I try to stick to protein and veggies! I really appreciate your advice.

@try2again More than likely it was Rx for that. I don't hear or know about a lot of people that take that but especially for menopausal things so I was a bit surprised. Shoot..whatever works!!!!

Ok my. Goal calories are set at 1220. I used 1086. Should I have a snack to get to that goal? (Pardon if this is a stupid question)

@try2again OMG! Itchy skin? For the past 2 weeks I have been getting random itchy bumps that come and go and it's been driving me nuts!!! >banging head on desk<

@syndnisd183 I'm surprised they prescribed Trazedone for hot flashes!! How would an antidepressant address hormonal issues? Interesting... I've been on Trazedone for sleep for many years.

@phoebelayla Thank you and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!
