    Welcome to the Challenge!!!!! I am on my 1st challenge. I have about 20 days to go...

    You should be snacking every 2-3 hours. You'll make your caloric goal that way and your body won't want to go into starvation mode. If you eat at least 1200 calories a day, you should see results in your measurements or the scale. Add me as a friend and you can look at my diary to get some ideas about snacks.

    If you are on Facebook, I can add you to some pages that have lists of snack and shake ideas...
