Sharon....Re: Bananas

June 16, 2004

Hi Sharon, actually I probably should of mentioned that I figure that

was just one of the reasons I was a slow loser..I lost 66 lbs to get

to my WW's goal, and it took me 16 months to do it..I have now gone

below it.

I think that maybe there were a lot of other things that I just took

for granted or never really thought about. I kind of think that maybe

1/2 banana is a serving size, so a lot of days I would of had 4

servings of these plus my other fruit intake.. and I know that too

much of certain fruits can slow me too..so I was really using a lot

of them..

I thought that maybe someone else just might find that they are doing

something similiar and this would make them think, hey, I am doing

this or that, and I am having a hard time getting out of a plateau or

I am just plain losing really slow too, and I think I should try

cutting back a little on this or that and see what happens.

Sometimes just a little jog of the memory will help someone else. At

my WI this month I was down just a hair from the 50's, I will post it

at the end. I wasn't worried that I should cut bananas out now

completely or anything because I love them too much, and I am on

maintenance, rather I just wanted to put a bug in anyone's ear who

may need info like this..lol...

You mentioned WW and bananas yrs ago, but I find now they don't do a

whole lot of mentioning on foods like I hear they used to..anyway

thanks for your imput here, appreciate it...

favorite fruit, but I believe many years ago when I was doing WW, we

were only allowed 1/2 a banana & it seems like that was only once or

twice a week; can't remember for sure. Jeepers though, if you have

been losing weight while eating them, I don't think I would change

anything until I might hit a plateau. Just my 2 cents worth, as I

have always heard a lot about bananas too.
