140 and counting

It’s been 1 year since I started my journey. Lots of support and friends and support group help but I have been stuck at 205-210 for almost 5 months now. Any tips or and I just stuck. Height: 5’ 9” Pant size:12 Shirt size:m/l Breakfast is 2 eggs (sometimes 3) and a coffee with protein powder Snack is protein shake with 20 grams protein Lunch air fried chicken with a seasoning (usually 6 oz) and a green smoothie made from home Snack is some type of to go snack break. Usually has nuts, dried crabs berries and a cheese. Dinner either chicken or steak (depends on the sale that week) seasoning only no sauces. And a cup of broccoli or some type of green veggie and then either carrots, beets, corn, or rice 80-100 oz of water a day depending on how hot it is 😂 I’m just afraid to change it up because it’s always worked for me but now a stall means I have to do something. Help!

Diet looks pretty good overall. I’d cut the corn bc when it processed it turns to sugar. And I’d consider cutting the rice due to the carbs. Increase your water to a gallon a day. Using a cup with a straw tends to help you drink more. Need to add more good fats. I used to make sautéed veggies using coconut oil and gee butter to cook them in. My got to veggies were yellow squash, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms with a little seasoning. My breakfast for my previous wt loss journey was low carb or keto bread with a layer of guacamole topped with Colby Jack cheese and toasted. Then when I got burned out on that I ate one pack of oatmeal. And of course I had coffee with both. I also add mat coconut oil to my coffee to get more good fat. The coconut oil and avocado helps add the good fats to your diet. For snack also try fresh fruit, raw veggies, cheese cubes, nuts. I personally found that I did better by snacking throughout the day instead of eating a lunch.

Also I used to sauté spring mix and eat as a side for dinner too. With your shakes try adding some spinach and sprouts. The way I used to make my shakes were: pour a splash of my daughter’s juice (typically apple) into a blender then add a handful or two of spinach, some sprouts and blend (I added the juice to help blend the leaves better). Once that was blended I’d add any fresh fruit I had, and lastly I’d add frozen fruit. I would make it before I went to work and pop it in the freezer when I got to work. I ate my oatmeal and had my coffee at my desk at 8am. Then about 10am I’d take my shake out and drink it over time. If I’d forgo and took it out later I’d sip on what I could and drink water while waiting for it to thaw more. All my patients would say how it looked disgusting bc it was green and you could see small chips of leaves and sprouts in it but it wasn’t bitter due to the fruit. And you can always play around with it and add extra green and sprouts to it if needed.
