I am currently on gold w/lites (lunas)

[Lynx]

Congratulations on your success. I was told that I would go on green at 138 and I am the same height as you are. I got a good explanation of the way they determine which plan a person is on. The COD is using a chart based on the healthy weight range for a particular height. Looking at the chart at http://www.health.gov/dietaryguideli.../chapter4.html I would think that you would go on green.

the link doesn't work for me. Do you know what the green plan consists of for exchanges etc.?

[Lynx]

I never got to green since I moved to the numbered plans so I am relying on prior posts. The info I found says that you lose 1 fruit and 1 vegetable from what you have on gold.

The link did not work for me either, but that is a wonderful site with great publications. Thanks so much for posting it. I checked out the different publications and tried to find a chapter 4 (like in the link) but could not find the chart. Which publication was it in?

Thanks again
Roberta

I don't know what happens. It looks like it is complete, but when I post it then it gets abbreviated. It looks like it is working now. Try it again.

Roberta,
You asked for the publication info. Here it is
go to www.health.gov
Special Inititatives

I'm pms(ing) and wanted ice cream tonight, but I came to this site and saw the link that Roberta asked for and Lynn posted. After finding out the sobering information that I'm still considered overweight, I think I'll forego the ice cream. Thanks for the motivation!!!!!

If it's any consolation, my size 8 body with a 29 inch waist, well it's considered on the higher side of overweight. It's the whole reason I went to stabilization 10 pounds above my origina goal weight, I knew the number on the scale is just a tiny measure.

Naomi, how active are you? That makes a difference in what plan you're on too.

[NaomiZ]

I am not active at all, I have been really sick for about 6 weeks and my job has changed so when I used to be on my feet all day and using the treadmill I now sit at a desk and haven't worked out since Sept long weekend.

I'm on the gold with lites. they told me that I would move to a new plan when I get 3 pounds from my goal. sorry I was not told which plan I would be moved to.
