Today I have had... b -4 oz cottage cheese with 3 peach slices s - cheese crackers l - chicken with sun-dried tomato dijon sauce, salad, lite dressing, 1 0z ea of ham and cheese (to boost protein) for afternoon snack I have cherries. Not sure what I am doing for dinner yet as I have prepared chicken & dumplings for my family but i can't eat the dumplings. Well, I choose not to eat the dumplings, too many carbs for me today. I'll probably eat some more of the chicken I ate for lunch. vits - good water - better exercise - 20 min on the eliptical, 36 lunges, & a 15 min awesome abs class. Hugs, Robin

hi Jannine, my day has been great with food so far!

Drive to work - drinkable yogurt Breakfast - weight control oatmeal Snack - AchievOne with extra 1/2 scoop of protein Lunch - stuffed cabbage (cabbage, lean ground beef, tomatoes and brown rice) Drive home - drinkable yogurt Dinner - last 3oz package of shredded beef in the fridge with avocado exercise - went for a long brisk walk in this CHILLY, WINDY weather water - so far 30oz, will work on the other 40 when I'm home. vitamins.... um......... taking it right now! (best part of this post is it reminds me to take my multi and b complex)! tonight I'm making mini quiches. I'll let you guys know how they turn out. they're freezable and tiny great for breakfast or snack and full of protein good luck with the chicken dish. you've got me thinking about making some this weekend! ps- I just saw your message, I'll respond tonight when I'm home

Stylz, definitely let us know how the quiche turns out. Post the recipe if they taste good! I love to make things I can freeze in individual servings. Laura

The day didn't start out good. I bought a bar of chocolate last night *sigh*. I don't know whats worse, buying it, or the fact I hid it from EJ. I need to get a grip! EJ's older sister had gastric bypass surgery this morning with our surgeon. She got out of surgery around 11am- all is well, she is in her room now. We will go visit her tomorrow on our lunch. That will be family member #5 to have gastric bypass. We are a family of fatty's LOL! ----------------- Breakfast: Scrambled egg Quesidilla. (1 egg scrambled with diced onion & cheddar cheese, on a small whole grain tortilla). I ate about 2/3rds of it. Snack: A few peices of chocolate--- I realized what I was doing and trashed the rest, but feel horrible about it! Lunch: Approx 6oz of pork stew & 7 triscuits. Snack: A pepperjack cheese stick & an apple. Dinner: Yummy salad (Emerils Chicken & Apple sausage, lettuce, sauteed onions & bell pepper, tomato, cheese, a few peanuts & dressing).

Breakfast: leftover meatloaf and a banana (weird huh?) Snack: roast beef and cheese Lunch: tuna salad Snack: protien bar Dinner: Don't know yet, probably more meatloaf...I still cook WAY too much food Vitamins: yep Water: pretty good Carb monkey: might be leaving because right now I am craving a HUGE JUICY STEAK like crazy - I think my iron may be low Kathy

Happy Wednesday! I'm still really tired, but feeling a lot better. Made a trip to the grocery store to stock up on protein-rich foods and low-fat/low-calorie foods. B-- Quaker Weight Control oatmeal w/ 3/4c fat free Hood Calorie Countdown L-- 1 oz. reduced fat cheese and 1/4 c seedless red grapes D--plan to eat 3-4 oz. of shrimp with 2 TBS. of homemade (sugar-free) ****tail sauce S--I plan to have 1/2 c. fat free cottage cheese with Splenda and cinnamon. This will total 533 calories and 61 grams of protein. I feel like I'm not eating enough, but I'm just not hungry. Laura 381/226/175

533 calories?? Holy Crap! How can you be eating so little? Im suprised your not in starvation mode! I wish I could be ok with so few calories.

I know....I'm worried. I hope I am able to eat more over the next few days! How many calories a day do you eat?

Im always at least 1100 calories... now I feel like a PIG! hahaha Ok I quickly calculated today (minus the chocolate cause thats not a daily thing). I am right at 1000 calories for the day. I could cut back on the cheese, and go low fat-- Ive been eating full fat cheese... plus the dressing tonight for my salad is 80 calories for the serving. I need to eat better
