in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys, I just found this program from a family member. I was going through his pictures and was so amazed at how good he looked and how fast he dropped weight.

I need everyone's help as far as what to eat. It seems like everything I tend to pick up at the grocery store is junk! Can people PLEASE leave ideas of what a good breakfast, lunch and dinner can be? I am prior military and got out nearly 3 years ago. Today, I disgusted myself, after stepping on the scales. I just turned 38, I am 6' tall and I weigh 220 pounds. I would love to get down to 185.

Good luck to every one of you and thank you guys in advance for sharing healthy meals.

    Stick with less processed food like the veges and fruit, eat lots of protein to keep you full. :smile:
    Good luck with your journey and feel free to add me if you wish!

    Working for my husband & I....and I am NO Chef!!!

    we buy absolutely No junk food. Buy 100 calorie packs if we get the munchies. Dinner consists of Chicken & Fish, turkey, ham. we cut out beef. We also cut out all FAST foods...totally!! As well as eating 6times a day..smaller portions.
    We buy lots of fruits/veggies. Nuts to snack on during the day. Plan out your week...it helps stay away from fast food/restaurants. Make a shopping list---even found a cool app to help make a lists easier.

    G/L...!!!

    I pretty much eat what ever but don't go over my goal calorie intake. If I think I will go over then I stop. I eat 5 meals a day. Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, and Dinner and don't have dessert. After all that during the day I work out. I workout sometimes in the morning if I can or in the evening before dinner. Good luck to you and feel free to add me if you like :)

    A good breakfast choice is oatmeal-- it's very filling and easy to control the portion (if you only cook one serving, you aren't tempted to have more whereas it's really easy to pour a second bowl of cereal). I don't put any sweetener on mine, but I do add fruit, sunflower seeds, or raisins.

    Raisin Bran is a great cereal....great protien, fiber, low fat and very satisfying. Low fat cheeses like individually wrapped string cheese make a great snack as well as the Special k cracker chips. Just watch your portions and eat in moderation. You don't need to give up the foods you love completely. Just be careful when you enjoy them.
