Take with my liquid calcium. ~Water ~ RARELY A SNACK (if I have a snack its usually 1/2 a piece of fruit or 1/2 a protein bar) ~ Water ~ Dinner- Varies a lot: again protein item then veggies. RARELY A SNACK (if I have anything it is hot chocolate- homemade with milk, splenda and giridelli's cocoa powder) ~ Water ~ PM- Tea ( I use trader Joes Bedtime tea mixed with a detox tea for my liver) In addition to the AM and PM liquids I drink 48oz - 64 oz of water. I also make sure to get in a minimum of 60 grams of protein. I can get in about 4 oz. of food.. in the AM I cannot eat a lot, but after Breakfast and the AM liquids I can eat more towards 4 oz of food. Jennifer 242/160/145

I guess that I am the bad girl in the bunch! I hardly get any water/liquid in! Yesterday, I only had one 12 oz coke all day! Anywho, here is the intake for today: Breakfast:1 cup of cheese grits from Krystal's (fast food) Lunch: I will have a Giant Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich (with top bread only) with Horsey and Arby's sauce YUMMY! It also has 32 grams of protein. Dinner: Unknown-I will need Veggies........ I would love to hear from the bad girls, like me because it seems that everyone that is posting is just too good. My 6 months labs were great, and I am still loosing! Sharon Lap RNY 11/22/04 336/235/183-ish

I guess my bad part is I'm not a breakfast eater.... Heres the norm... Breakfast: coffee with skim and spenda 1 or 2 cups and my vitamins Snack/lunch: protien bar, fruit, salad something like that.... Water Snack: fruit, few crackers w/ PB Water/ Diet iced green tea Dinner: meat and veggies or salad Water Snack: popcorn or SF ice cream I am still losing but much slower....Have 13 pounds to reach goal. I still have a hard time with certain meats and pasta. Karry 311/180/167 goal

Yep! I'm a bad girl too! I have never eaten breakfast! The nutritionist told me that 95% of her diabetes patients don't eat breakfast. I got a long speech about why it is THE most important meal of the day!!! Yes, of the day! It does many things but it jump starts the metabolism and will assist in losing!! OK, so this means what for me? Now, because I can drink coffee for breakfast, I have a coffee flavored protein drink that I've learned to make at home. I use starbucks coffee and it tastes JUST like a Starbucks Frappacino! Really! I love it! It also gives me a head start on protein at 35 (I only count 30 at a time though) grams. I just thought I'd pass this on. I'm thinking if you add something for breakfast, that 13 pounds might DROP OFF faster than you can say "BOO!" Good luck! You look great! Hugs, ~Vanessa

Breakfast - protein drink (I like whey banana low carb) Snack - small fruit cut up Lunch - low carb yogurt (1/4 cup) and 1/4 cup chili, sometimes a small pickle too Dinner - meat and veggies (about 5 oz meat and 1/4 c veggies) or a salad Snack - 94% fat free popcorn - TOO MUCH OF THIS (sometimes entire bag which is 6 cups) Snack again - sugar free popsicles till I freeze A TON OF WATER AND CRYSTAL LITE TEA ALL DAY
