It is a struggle. The only real two times I lost weight was from a silly liquid protein diet which caused me to faint and an extended hospital stay with a bum knee. The hospital stay taught me that portion control is important. I thought I would starve seeing those , what I considered skimpy meals, on my tray. Three meals a day ( I ate two large meals at home) and even an evening snack dropped the pounds. I carried the lesson to home and eat 3 meals now a day with the noon meal fruits and veggies. Meat is now relegated to a secondary role in my meal planning.

Thanks again.
