    Hi Terry...Part of the reason you are probably struggling is because you seem to be depriving yourself of calories early in the day, so when dinner/evening rolls around your body is starving and you take down more than you should. Try planning your menu first thing in the morning by entering your foods into the computer and set your total for the day at whatever you want your calorie intake to be. Indulge and plan a treat in the total so that later on you can have it without going over. Plan your meals at regular intervals and take in the calories for that meal. For example: I eat breakfast at 9 lunch at 12 have a snack at 3 and eat dinner at 6. For each meal/snack I allow myself 400-500 calories (depending on my physical activity for the day) and that way I am always satisfied. I'm never "starving hungry" and I maintain my 1200 calories for the day. Plus at 5 o'clock I'm never panicking about what I'm going to make for dinner because I figured that out first thing in the morning! (I always try to look at the bright side:happy: ) Anyway...this is what works for me and I consistantly loose weight on this plan. If any or all of it helps you out than...Yeah!...and I know you can do it!

    Keep us posted on your progress....
