Hey Karen,

Thanks for the support!! Here is the link to the black bean burgers I make...I make them with the oats and I bake them. I make large batches and then freeze the extras. It comes out to be about 200 calories per burger and about 9 grams of protein. http://edibleperspective.com/2011/07/the-burger/

Email me with an update when you get a chance. How are you feeling? I see that your weight hasn't gone down. But that doesn't mean you're not improving!! Remember, the scale is a tool. But it's not the whole picture. Take some more progress photos and compare them to the "before" shots. You may just be retaining a little water OR you may have put on a little more muscle, which would be GREAT!

As soon as you can get into the habit of tracking macros, I can zero in on small changes you may be able to make. Your increase in water is good. Keep it going!

Your workouts look great! : )
