Thank everyone for all of the replies!! I have stopped going to the diet center and am saving my money for new clothes once I get to a size I can look forward to shopping again. My typical day is 1 egg, 2 sausage, salad with balsamic dressing and chicken or shrimp, some sort of meat-chicken, fish, burger for dinner with cottage cheese. sugar free jello with cool whip for a snack. I get 2-3 bottles of water in + 2 cups of coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 and truvia. I think the problem  may be my snacks. when i am hungry (usually 10:00-10:30) I eat summer sausage & melted cheese-sometimes as many as 8 slices. I am wondering if I am just consuming too many calories. Meat has a lot of calories in it. Has anyone else run into this? Again, THANKS so much for the support. I have been checking in and finding no replies to my 1st post. Of course, I was doing it wrong.

  I just purchased and read the book”fat to skinny fast and easy". I have been going to a weight loss center since October and this is exactly the program they have (Mediweight lossclinics.com). It is not hard to stick to as I like protein foods BUT the weight is not falling off of me as  described. Since October I have only lost about 18.5 lbs. it is agonizing as I am paying for this service (80 bucks a trip-once a week) and it is so discouraging. The physician in charge had my blood tested to see if I had a problem but everything came back o.k. is it possible I am just eating too many calories with the meat? Have you ever run into this before? They do not push exercise but I try to walk 2-3 x a week for 30 minutes. Also we are required to drink 64 oz or more of water. Does anyone have any suggestions for me or have had limited success such as me.  As I said, this is working, but at this rate it will take me years to get to my target weight. I would appreciate any help anyone can give!! Thanks! ohiogirl
