I am using the "old" points system too. I just can't get into PointsPlus, sorry. I see alot of carbs also, and I would cut back on the beef and replace it with some lean meats like turkey burger or chicken. Try bumping up the veggie intake. When I find myself not losing I rotate in veggie burgers and more beans in replacement for meat. Good Luck!!! I say the fact that you had a month were you didn't gain is a step in the right direction. Congrats on the KILLER workouts girl!!! Keep moving forward!

I'm familure with the old pts system. Your points seem pretty on key, maybe a few you underestimated on but nothing off the chart shocking.

I'd try to eat more clean, think lean meats (limit deli or high fat cuts), fresh veggies and fresh friuts. Maybe cut your starches down to 1 or 2 servings a day...so 1 slice of bread and a serving of oatmeal or 1 slice of bread and 1/2 a potato. This has helped me soooooo much personally!!!!

GOOD LUCK! Love the drive to workout, you are a machine :0)

Your very first entree of 3 biscuits for 5 pts. , I can't find a biscuit that would be that low of points value.

2 1/2 cup rice with gravy =3 points? that is not possible. Do you have someone who can help you calculate your points? I think that may be part of the problem.

Keep going!

The OP didn't say 3 biscuits for 5 points; the 3 was the points for the egg plus egg whites. She didn't have 2 1/2 c. of rice and gravy, but 1/2 c. rice & gravy.

You mention that you had good success with a low carb plan, yet you are eating a lot of carbs--I have found that cutting carbs (except fruits & veggies) seems to be the only way to lose weight anymore for me.

Many have mentioned the processed food--bacon, lunchmeat & kettle chips will cause more water weight with their extremely high sodium content.

I would severely limit or eliminate your bread/rice intake as well as your bacon/lunchmeat/chip intake. (Be sure if you do have one or 2 carb servings that they are whole grain) I suspect you will see results.

Keep up the great work & good luck!
