I am glad someone started this... B Worldwide Protein Drink, Dutch chocolate S - none too busy L 4 oz salmon, small amount of potato, zucchini, and carrots S s/f popsicle D 4 oz salmon, small amount of potato, zucchini, and carrots (leftovers from a Christmas party and have more for tomorrow) S s/f Carb Solutions ice cream bar I know I did not get in enough calories today but with an office party and work, I just did not have time. Water - about 48 oz but will try to get another 12 oz before bed. I also did not have time to do my Fitday counter Sheryl Tomorrow will be better

OK - someone had a great idea of posting what we ate that day so I will start. I am back on the wagon and had a very low carb - high protein day and I am so proud of myself! B - protein drink (6 tbsp Amino Infusion Fruit Punch mixed with 16 oz water) S - 8 oz Carb Countdown Chocolate milk L - 2 oz tuna mixed with 1 tsp mayo and 1/2 tsp sweet pickles S - string cheese D - 2 oz chicken with 1 tbsp spaghetti sauce and parmesean cheese 2 tbsp spinach S - 1/4 c Edy's Carb Benefit Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream (which I am eating as I type) Totals: 594 calories, 24 fat, 13 carbs and 77 protein. My carbs have been in the 60 - 80's the past week so this was a much better day! I think I should have skipped the ice cream - a full serving, which is 1/2 c - has 11 grams of fat, so I got 6 grams with 1/4 c - that seems high for a snack. BUT it did really kill my craving for something sweet. It also accounted for 7 of my 13 carbs so I would have had a killer day without it. Jenn -37

My nutritionist said I wasn't getting enough calories at 600. She wants me at 800-1200. I also asked about Wendy's chili, and she didn't recommend it due to the high fat content. I did make my own chili at home in the crock pot. I used ground turkey instead of beef, Busch's Best Chili Beans, Hunt's Tomato Sauce, chili powder and red pepper. It was really good! I ended up freezing it though, because it takes a long time to eat a crock pot of chili when you are only eating 1 cup at a time.

Christine-Thanks for the ideas!!!! I'll try them all.thank you! thank you! thank you.

Hi, my surgery was the day before you. At three weeks I stopped losing. It lasted for almost 3 weeks. And then about 2 weeks ago my weight loss ended again. Now this week its started again. It seems to go that every 10 lbs. my body stops and recuperates. Its frusterating but I try to remind myself, patience, the journey just began a few months ago. I've lost 43 lbs.
