More to lose... Monday (1/23) Game Plan...

Sunday was good, although I wonder if I'm eating too many calories. I recently read a post on the WLS-grads forum (folks at goal or 12 mos out). The question was how many calories do you eat? Most claim to maintain their weight with between 900 to 1500 calories. I think I average 1100 calories. I may call the nutritionist and ask what the appropriate number should be at this stage of the game for continued weight loss. Anyway, here's Monday's plan: 7:00 am Grilled chicken 4 oz Romaine lettuce Vinegarett Dressing 9:00 am Celery 11:30 am South Beach - Cashew Chicken 2:00 pm Grilled chicken strips 4 oz 4:00 pm Tilapia 2 oz Snacks: Sugar free popsicles Sugar free cider Nutrition: Calories 969 Fat 28 Carb 41 Protein 125 Exercise: 1 hr water aerobics... The train is moving... what's your game plan? Denise

My game plan is to get moving. My exercise is way too sporadic and I need something more consistent. Today I will walk a half hour after eating my lunch. (hmmm, I wonder if its better to walk before eating?) We'll see how I feel after today. My plan is as follows: 4:30 Protica 7:00 Fruit Salad and Yogurt 9:30 Protein Smoothie 12:00 Lowfat Chicken Salad w/ Wheat Thins 2:00 Orange 4:00 Kettle Corn (100 cal pack) 6:30 Chicken Burger and Green Salad Calories 1164 Fat 31 Carbs 103 Protein 116

Hi All, Denise, you really got a jump on Monday. Good for you. BTW, those articles on snacking are great. I didn't eat nearly as much as I had planned today--I was just not feeling well. Only got about 800 calories and about 75 grams of protein. I did not make changes at Fitday, so am not sure of the totals. Monday's plan Breakfast Whey protein drink with 1 c skim milk, 1/2 banana, 6 strawberries Lunch Leftover ground beef casserole Dinner Boca burger Snack string cheese tangerine pistachio nuts SF popsicle Totals Calories: 962 Fat: 24 Carbs: 108 Protein: 91 It is a crazy day, but I will get in my Gazelle exercise.
