ok, well, I hit my goal. I more than hit my goal. I don't know how to eat to stop the loss and stay at the same weight. I can't lose any more or my weight loss team will have a fit. They already think I am doing this on purpose and I am not. I have been eating more. More often and more fattening.. but still healthy. I know maybe they do not care but I have been having a lot of problem with pain lately. My other DR. and I have went over everything and he can't figure out what the problem may be except I do have a problem with fibromialgia, and may be having a bad bout. They are doing a MRI on my neck too to see if its partly due to pinched nerves. The muscle spasms and twitches are probably fibro. Yuck. So, with out making me sick with out too much fat, because I get sick with too much fat regardless how good the fat, how can I stay the same weight? Thanks for any suggestions....
I don't have any words of wisdom for you, but I'm glad you posted. I'll be waiting for a response as I almost there myself. Sure hope some folks come out of hiding with one guidance!
Blessings!

Also i pray that the MRI will give some idea as to what is going on yet not in a bad way. Sometimes we need results in order to fix what is wrong and they don't always have to be bad results.
I will be praying for you and please do keep us posted.
Good luck, hope they get it figured out quick!
I also added macadamia nuts, flavored almonds, peanut butter, and guacamole. I dont know if they have too much fat for you or not.
Popcorn is another thing I started eating to add fiber and calories.
You can find the balance!! Congrats for getting to goal!

Try Ensure high-protein drinks. They don't have much sugar. And eat more if you can. My problem is that I just don't get hungry often, so I don't eat as much as I should.
Try working in hot chocolate, tomato soup, milk (if you can tolerate it) and other liquids if you aren't hungry. This way you get calories even though you aren't eating.
I think part of my problem is that I've been morbidly obese since I was 5 years old, so I can't wrap my head around the fact that I need to gain weight. Psychologically I just can't fathom it because I've been in weight-loss mode for so long.
I guess being TOO THIN is a good problem to have, though :)
