Didnt drink enough which is not the norm for me lately but it was just one of those days.  Have a great one and I will see you tomorrow. Carla

Hi Carla! I love the chart you are using. Where does it come from? Thanks! Therese

I use spark people.  Its a great way to track my food intake each day.  I wouldnt know what to do if I didnt have it.  It's free so give it a try. Carla

Hi Carla! Happy Hump Day! B: 1 egg, 2 oz lean ham steak. S: Light Lemon Chiffon Yogurt - 6oz L: 1 cup lettuce, 1 oz egg, 2 oz cheese, 2 tbs FF ranch, sesame seeds and lil bit of bacon bits, 2 slices of cucumber. D: 1 chicken sausage (3 oz), 1 whole grain 50 calorie tortilla (high fiber) with mustard and a small side salad of romaine, tomato, black olive, red onion, red fat feta and FF italian dressing. S: 1.75 ounce bag of Kay's Naturals Kruncheeze White Cheddar S: EAS Shake. 1/8 cup soy nuts. Cals: 1269, Fats 62 (way too high today!), Carbs 85, Fiber 25, Protein 110.

Its that sausage. The fat content seems to get me too..lol.. Good day for everything else though.. great numbers and I think good choices.  You're doing great. Carla

Morning Carla, you have no idea how much posting to your thread is helping me right now, thank you.  Monday morning my weight was 133.8, this morning I'm at 128.8 so 5 lbs in 3 days ain't shabby, lol.   I've been in denial totally, kept telling myself my eating isn't that bad.  No don't get me wrong overall the amount I've been eating has been too bad but WHAT has, again thanks.   January 16, 2008

Glad to have you aboard with us Dana.  I am looking at your numbers and wow...they are just sweet.  Those are the kind of numbers I love to see.  Low fat, low carbs, high protein and not overboard on calories.. you are a great captain.  I am so happy your scale is moving for you but did you expect anything less.  taking control of our eating and monitoring is what its all about.  This is something we didnt do before but if we make it a part of our lives we can stay right on top of it.  You are doing so great.. Carla

Thanks Carla, I really am planning it this way because I am well aware of my body and my cravings (carbs) hence I'm keeping them low.  Some will say it's too low but for me this works best for my body.

hi carla, i have to work on lower my carb numbers huh...but i hink i had a fairly good day.the scale first said 151 this morning now it is saying 150 pounds. so something is working.. woo hoo..anita B- CytoSport complete whey protein cocoa bean ( 1 serving )       90       2       2       16 Water ( 1 cup )     0     0     0     0 Quacker lower sugar peaches & cream oatmeal ( 1 serving )     130     3     24     4 skim milk ( 0.25 serving )     20     0     3     2 L- brookdale luncheon meat (spam) ( 2 oz )     170     16     0     7 campbells chunky sirloin burger soup ( 1 serving )     180     7     20     10 weis small curd cottage cheese ( 0.5 cup )     110     5     5     13 D- Chicken, breast, with or without bone, broiled, NS as to skin eaten ( 2 oz, boneless, cooked )     111     4     0     17 White potato, baked, peel eaten, NS as to fat added in cooking ( 2 oz, raw, yields )     59     1     12     1 bird's eye pea's and carrots ( 0.5 serving )     25     0     5     2 weis small curd cottage cheese ( 0.5 cup )     110     5     5     13 Applesauce, stewed apples, unsweetened ( 0.33 cup, sauce )     35     0     9     0 S- diamond mixed nuts ( 1 serving )     190     19     4     5 pop secret butter snack bags 94% ff ( 1 serving )     130     3     29     4 Total     calories 1359     fat 63     carbs 118     protein 93 16 oz. coffee 80 oz. water 40 minutes cardio at gym

because of the exercise you do the carb number is not bad at all.. Ideally below below 80 is what I shoot for but if I am exercising I will let it hit 100.  You need that so you dont hit a wall when exercising.  I would do a protein shake after working out just to kick the metabism up and get the protein over 100.  It really helps to cut the fat and develop that lean muscle we are striving for.   You are doing right girl.  the scale is proving that.   Carla
