so, since my all time high of 311, i am back down to 308, so i'm excited that things are moving on the downslope again. my mom and i are going out of town to see sheryl crow for my birthday in less than a month, and i would love to be under 300.
i've taken all of your advice adn gone for the 2 pound per week goal, so my calories have shifted to about 1900 before exercise (about 2100 after). here is a sample of what i'm eating today.
breakfast: homade musli with whole oats, rasins, almods, bran, flax seeds chopped apples and fat free yogurt (450 calories... i need a big breakfast)
snack: 1 nectarine, mini carrots, cup of tea
lunch: 2 cups of low sodium beef barely soup, 1 small multigrain roll with 75g of corned beef and 1 sliced tomato (520 calories)
snack: 1 kiwi, cucumber slices, 1 banana
supper: 250g pork loin, grilled, 1 roasted potato with 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil, steamed green beans (taking the advice of a big dinner, about 800 calories)
snack: tea
so, i'm goign to try today and see how it goes. i have 2 weeks off coming up on monday, and although my mobility is going to be limited, i'm going to used the time to go through a sort of rehab, and get my eatnig on track. it's always the first couple of weeks that are the hardest.
also, if i'm craving something sweet, i think i'm going to buy some whole grain chocolate cookies. for when a piece of fruit just wont cut it.
thanks everyone for all of the advice!

I recommend the kashi dark chocolate oatmeal cookies. one large cookie is 140 cal but has higher protein and fiber and is satisfying and filling. for if you need something sweet.0

For sweet cravings I love the Fiber One bars (chocolate is my fav) 140 cals OR Fudgsicles!! 60 cal, 0 fat ...have 2!0
