I am averaging 1000 - 1200 calories a day, and I haven't lost in two weeks, so I don't know if I should try more food or less!!!??? I am working on it! Pat

I have not been getting in enough nutrition the past few days. The company I work for layed off a bunch of people(not me thank God) and as a result my work load increased so I've worked 12-14 hours/day since Friday. I've not been paying enough attention to my food/exercise. That has to stop! Anway here is what I did consume today. B-1/4 cup raisin bran cereal w/milk L-3 slices turkey lunch meat, one tomato, one LC cheese wedge D-1/2 ww smart ones ravioli florentine water, 2 16.9 oz. bottles

Hi Shari, I am just curious...do you eat the ravioli or just the insides?

Hi, I ate the ravioli too. It was the first time I've tried pasta. I usually just eat the insides or spaghetti sauce w/o noodles. The ravioli went down fine though.

Breakfast: 1/4 cup LF cottage cheese Mid Morn: 25 gm protein shake. Made my normal 30gm one, but couldnt fini**** so estimating 25 gms. lol Lunch: 2 wedge of LF LC cheese on 3 crackers. 5 grape tomatos. 3 Ranier cherries.
