    I want to loose 14 lbs by the end of January, I know that's a high goal to set, but I think I can do it. I hope to be down about 30 lbs by April! I will fit into a size 12 jean by June!

    Not sure how this week is going to go, I really am hoping that I am going to lose at least a pound but it will be tough going as I'm really suffering at the minute, symptoms suggest that I've got a case of Swine Flu on my hands :sick: I've been ill since last Monday and am only starting to feel a tiny bit better now. Have slept all day and have been woken up on a few occasions by my lovely husband to feed me - it was a sausage roll for breakfast and bacon sandwiches for dinner. Probably not the healthiest but it tasted good and I wasn't really in a position to argue :blushing:

    I listed my breakfast this morning before I ate it...lol! Instead of oatmeal I ended up having two egg white with a slice of homemade whole wheat bread with butter.

    I have been trying to plan breakfasts and lunches the night before. I plug them into my log and can see how many calories that will take. Then I ONLY pack what I plan to eat, so that I don't end up overeatting. Instead of bringing the whole bag of pretzels and grabbing a handful I grab a handful at home, put it in a sac, and only bring that! By already programming my meals I feel accountable to only eat those items and find myself not snacking more.

    I also have been eating at least every three hours. Breakfast at 730, snack at 10, lunch at 1, snack at 4, and dinner by 6. Last night I had enough calories leftover I had a piece of apple pie for dessert - and was still under 1200 calories!! I find snacking really does keep me full and so I don't get that urge to binge because I'm suddenly starving.

    What other tips do people have to promote staying under the daily recommended calories?

    For a really tasty and quick lunch I love some Ryvita Crackerbreads with Philadelphia light cheese with chives spread. Each cracker works out to just over 40 calories so I can munch away on a few without guilt and I love the flavour of the cheese and the Crackerbread satisfies my need to *crunch* :bigsmile:

    Been feeling ill for over a week and Doctor confirmed today - I have swine flu. I'm really annoyed and worried how this will affect my weight loss plans. I'm not even able to do my physiotherapy right now.

    Don't be so hard on yourself! If your sick, you don't need to be worrying about your diet. That's too much! Concentrate on getting well, and then get back on track!:smile:
