Thanks for the advice. I think the “avoid the rut” advice was one of your best points.
I was considering doing 40 carbs instead of the 20 to start, but I think I will up it and see what happens. I’ve had that bread and i will pick it up again and use it in my salmon patties. probably better than the rye i was using.
well, best of luck to you. i will be countin’ along with you.

My advice, go at least 60 and 80 is better. Look for low carb yogurt its the best source of calcium, yummy and amazingly low calorie, low fat and low carb.
Make those sandwiches open faced, that second slice is another 15 carbs minimum and it isn't needed. Add a garnish. If you want to grab it let lettuce be the top. Tomatos are lovely, and cheap this time of year.
Being a lady is its own burden but in losing weight it is double so. If you can find time to start walking 10 minutes per day and build from there, it will be a great help.
Chicken is your friend. Its hard to find chicken other than breaded and fried that isn't good for you.
Play Jewish and avoid pork products. Well trimmed pork chops are not that bad but mostly you get a heap of fat with your pork. Remember each pound of fat you put in your mouth has to be lived or worked off. Just don't eat it straight if you can help it.
Best of luck as well. Write any time you need encouragement.
