    I love the Lean Cuisine meals for lunch. My favorite thing is the Marie Callendar's Pot Pies for lunch. They feel me up so much that I am not snacking thru the day. Stay Encouraged!!

    Don't underestimate the power of snacking. I have my meals set to3 meals and 3 snacks a day. You really should eat every few hours. An apple or banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter go a long way. You should never be really hungry! I would try to really limit the prepackaged stuff....peanut butter and jelly with some fruit is my favorite lunch. It's doable with lowcal bread and measuring everything....

    Thanks Toni- I am revigorated after reading everyone's encouragement and suggestions!!

    Mommy- I also have 3 meals and at least 2 snacks every day. I just need to learn to stay away from the pre-packaged things. I am going this weekend and buy some chicken and figure out what things I can cook that willbe eidble for me and my husband LOL . I always seem to forget about peanut butter- I have that notion that it's so full of fat I can't eat it. I need to break free of some of those old weight loss myths I knew back when I was younger.

    Try the Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers, too! They are not frozen, usually in the aisle with canned goods or pasta, and are delicious! It keeps the pasta or rice separate from the sauce, you add water, nuke the pasta/rice until it's tender, drain and add the sauce! Super easy, filling, and low in calories!

    FYI, Marie Callendar's pot pies are not very healthy. HOW bad it is depends on which kind, but none of them are very healthy - the main reason being - one pot pie is supposed to be TWO servings (but I don't know anyone who plans on sharing.)

    I echo what some of the others have said. Sometimes it is not about the calories. It is the frequency with which we eat (affects metabolism) and what we eat (Protein vs carbs). Sometimes just increasing the protein we eat will trigger our body to lose weight. We are hard wired to store fat when times are lean and to shed fat when times are good. Too low of caloric intake triggers our bodies to store fat, extra protein says times are good! Best of luck!
