Don't start with me woman....I've been beggin' you to come visit.  How long do you expect me to wait??  I've bought your yogurt 3 times now, just in case you decide to pop in, and Emmies keeps eating it all.  Someone had to eat the mango before it goes bad...LOL.  (like there's any chance of that around here)

Loralea,

Thanks for replying... I am still trying to lose weight : ) Although, I have not lost anything in about 6 months on the scale-- I've lost inches. Would you recommend eating fruit for weight loss. Again, I am just really now applying it to my daily food intake. The following is a typically what I eat daily starting this week. Long story was seeing a nutritionist who was telling me to eat all sorts of things that just didn't make me feel good, and I lost so much energy and motivation. Even gained weight. That is the ONLY time the scale has moved in 6 months.

Pre workout 5:30am: 1/2 cup cottage cheese with EITHER
                              3oz pork chop or 1/2 cup cheerios
                                                OR
                          Creamy Vanilla Kashi with 1 scoop protein
Post workout 8:30am: EITHER 1 6oz apple or 1 7inch banana
                                                 PLUS
                                6oz of blue bunny yogurt
Lunch 11:30 or 12:00pm:  3/4 oz Babybel Cheese
                                    1.5 oz RAW broccoli
                                    1oz (15) thin crisp triscuits
                                    2.7oz tuna
                                   10 grapes and 3 strawberries
Snack 3:00/30pm: pure protein bar
Dinner 7:00/30pm: 3oz grilled chicken
                           1.5 cups of Romaine Salad with 1tsp picante 
                           sauce and 1 tsp light sour cream 
                           some shredded cheese (Reduced Fat)
Snack 9:00pm: 17 (1oz) Turkey Pepperoni with babybel cheese &
                     8 thin crisp triscuits
                                                   OR
                   4 celery sticks with 1 tbs or 2 crunch Peanut Butter
                                                   OR
                    Cottage Cheese with 1/2 cup cheerios or thin crisp

Variety on occassion:
I will switch out the 3 oz chicken for dinner with 3oz baked pork chop. Add 1/2 cup pinto or kidney beans. RARELY sweet potato.

Any FEEDBACK or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am still wanting to lose and need to some how figure out a meal plan that will up my carbs and still lose :)

Thanks....
Jessica

Jessica, have you logged this into fitday/dailyplate or one of the other trackers?  I'd be interested to see what the totals are for carbs, calories, fat, protein, fiber.  Trying to estimate it appears somewhere around 1700 calories, 91 + protein, 150+ carbs, 13 fiber.  IMO, it's too many carbs (that include sugar from fruit) to continue to lose weight. 

This is me though, I know I cannot lose weight with that many carbs and calories but I also do not work out either.

Jessica, since you are wanting to still lose I'd only make one suggestion.  That your carbs be lowered a little and let protein be your main choice of food.  For instance, maybe exclude the banana or the Triscuits (which lowers your carbs some but doesn't affect your protein hardly at all).  YOu can even want to add a deli meat and RF cheese rollup if you are needing something else.
 
Just my thoughts, especially since I am "carb sensitive" I need to watch closely.

I add fruit to my "super shakes" which are protien shakes with 3/4 cup frozen blue berrys and 6-10 frozen strawberrys plus 1/4 cup pnut butter and 2 scoops of protien powder - make it dived it in two and freeze the extra one
these will hold me though a long work out and help afterwards with recovery for me -

I also eat green apples a lot - with cheese instead of crackers
grapes are good snacks as are oranges

I have to be careful with melons b/c of the sugar - the limit I have on fruit is the sugar b/c I don't like to dump esp when I am busy during the day

I eat very diffently than most post op but I don't count my veggi or fruit carbs - I only pay attention to prossesed ones - pasta, breads, rice, grains - and I limit the quanity of them I eat but mostly the quality - I eat whole grains over white/prossesed and try to avoid white anything as much as possible

I have a banana nearly everyday and sometime I put peanut butter on it .  I have for the last year.  I may have an orange every once in a while.  I have just gotten on a strawberry kick.  But in the summer my favorite last summer was watermelon.  I ate it ike crazy.  It was funny when I increased my fruit intake last summer I was able to lose that last 7 pounds that I was afraid wouldn't come off.  I am looking forward to going to the market and getting fresh fruit.
