Are you breaking a sweat, are you walking up inclines, walking at least 30- 60 min without stopping at a high pace ?

Soda pop has about twelve tablespoons of sugar per a can.

Eating one large meal a day maybe what’s causing you the problem, you might be consuming more calories then you think, plus eating large meals towards the evenings are worst, one it not as active.

From what I read, with walking 4-5 miles a day and your not losing, yet your weight has remain the same, it sounds to me your taken in more calories then you realize, try losing the soda pop and take smaller portions of food, nothing bigger then the palm of your hand. Try upping your pace when walking, break a sweat. One thing you’ll find as you age, you need to eat less, it’s better to
eat small meals throughout the day, rather then three large meals or just one large meal a day. Good luck!

Pack up your house, and unpack at your new place

Then go pack up your parents' house and unpack at their new place

Then go pack up your brother's house and unpack at their temporary new place.

Then once the new NEW place is built, unpack your stuff and your parents' stuff and your brother's stuff....

TRUST ME! You'll lose weight!!!!

Counting Fat Grams works for me and you have such a large variety of things you are allowed to eat. You will be surprised in the foods that have no fat grams at all.

Hospitals are a tough place to work and lose weight.

Dave,

Congratulations on your success thus far! I perceive that you are a fairly disciplined man and that is sooo essential to the long term success of procedures like the one you had. I have two friends that lost significant amounts of weight to only fall back into old habits and one has gained about 30% of the weight back and the other has gained it all back plus a few pounds. I will continue to pray for you to reach your goals and maintain them for the rest of your many years on this earth (should the Lord tarry his coming).

You have to love those almonds... so satisfying and they really keep things on schedule!

I buy raw almonds at Sam's Club in 2 pound bags... I eat them for my snacks and when I am driving long distance I will eat a handful from time to time to break the monotony.

I watch the beef jerky that is prepackaged because many of them have a lot of sugar in them. Here in LA we have a lot of meat markets that sell boudin and cracklins as well as some of the best beef jerky on the planet. Unfortunately the jerky goes for about 18 to 20 dollars a pound!

This is true and great advise.... IF.... you do not have an underlying medical condition that has caused the weight gain.
