The good news is, I am dropping weight steadily. I did have a hiccup on Monday and ate a half a pound of chocolate covered walnuts! But I did not seem to feel any ill effects from that weight wise. I do know I need to get back on track to just eating good foods so I can see if a consistant pattern helps my joint pain. I have been kind of up and down with the carbs. I do think that certain foods do cause me to have more joint pain and make it harder for me to drop weight. Staying away from the Quest bars has been one of my better decisions. Most of the carbs I have had have been good carbs for the most part since I've quit the Quest bars. Chocolate is in my diate but in moderation, except for Monday! LOL I have had pizza once, but try to stay away from that. I have had Sun Chips twice and popcorn a couple of times but clearly none of those foods cause my weight to be at a stand still. Could any of those cause my continued pain? Possibly, but I need to do a better job staying away from those foods to know for sure!
