Lisa, size 6 jeans! Holy catfish, I think I was in third grade! LOL I am VERY happy in my 12s right now. Yes, I also get into trouble with nuts, I have to be careful. Thanks for the advice and words of wisdom. My husband LOVES beans but I don't lust after them, and will have to find alternative things to eat when I fix him his favorite bean soup.

Liz, Your advice sounds good. I will try adding in five carbs on a two week advance and alternate days. I may be at my ACE at 30 as it seems I have stopped losing. I will give it a few more weeks. One problem I am having is just adding in enough to get to 30 or above! I love brussels sprouts, will have to have several servings or find another vege that is high.
