    Like I said, I can't work out for 3 more weeks due to having a C-section, but I have 17 "baby pounds" left to lose, and I know its soon after having a baby, but all I can do is focus on foods and diet right now until I get the green light t work out.

    Right now I rock at breakfast: egg beaters with salsa and spinach, 35 cal toast with simply fruit apricot spread, or smart ones oatmeal
    Lunch is alright...usually lunch meat with no bread, or tuna with spicy mustard and no crackers, some type of fruit, sometimes baked chips.
    Dinners are so so--sometimes too big, sometimes too many carbs.

    The thing that's eating all my calories right now is that I am craving shelled peanuts and although they are good for protein, you can only have about 10 for 160 calories and its killing my counts because I always want them around 10pm.

    I'm excited to be able to use the treadmill again though in 3 weeks, but I was hoping to have shed about 5 pounds just from dieting alone. :-/

    I've been eating 1300 calories for the past month and will usually log in all of my food first thing in the morning/around lunch.

    Breakfast - I choose not to eat breakfast.
    Lunch - Today I had Laughing Cow Cheese Triangles, 37 Gold fish crackers, a hard boiled egg, and a granny smith apply for a total of 310 calories.
    Supper - Roast beef, gravy, mashed potatoes, and corn niblets for a total of 410 calories.
    Snacks - unsure yet - still debating whether I'll be walking to get myself a Tim Hortons Iced Cappaccino, which is 230 calories.
    I have 580 calories still left in the day. Usually I am under my 1300 by 10-400 calories depending on how busy I was that day and exactly what I have eaten. I also do not log my 75-120 minute hike with the dog as I choose not to eat back those calories and I feel that mfp is most likely wrong on the calories.

    Bet your grumpy

    Losing muscle mass too I imagine.

    Seriously .... you eat back ZERO calories because MFP is likely inflated? Yes, I agree MFP is likely inflated ..... but wouldn't 50% of MFP's number be closer than zero?

    This is what I have been told: My leg are amazing and look great in a skirt/shorts; my back is well muscled and looks great; my arms are great with clear definition of my biscepts....my only "problem" area is my stomach - but hey, after 4 full term pregnancies I don't expect anything from it and must learn to accept it the way it is. But thanks for the assumption, your clearly a higher species of talking monkey on an organic planet rotating around a star through outer space. Way to go!! :)

    I must say your choice of insults are amazing :flowerforyou:

    completely agreed... 10/10

    Also, your horse is adorable... is that a Belgian? draft cross? whatever he/she is they're really cute!

    I have been following a 1300 to 1200 meal plan for the last 3 days and have to stick to it until I reach my goal....at the beginning I was thinking it would be very difficult but trust me finally it's not that hard, I am eating almost like my colleagues who are not counting calories....!
    you can check out my food diary since 20 August. One important thing, I never quite breakfast!
