Hey,

I'm new to this and was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to show me their eating and exercise plans to loose weight please. So I can figure out what to put in mine.

    Mine varies from day to day so I don't get bored with it. I do try to eat breakfast everyday and keep my sugars pretty constant by eating 6 times a day instead of 3. I don't share out my food diary. Folks can be a bit harsh to people eating under 1200 a day (I eat 1000 with doc's OK).

    I can tell you that my snacks are usually almonds, canned tuna, plain yogurt and fruit.

    I work out 3 times a day.
    Pre-breakfast: 10 minutes of ab work and walk dog
    Post-breakfast: In car flex and release muscle groups as I can, especially at stop lights (don't consider this a work out)
    Pre-lunch: main cardio for day
    Post-dinner: shorter walk, a lot of times with dog

    Best of luck to you!!

    Hey :) My diet is pretty much the same everyday. I eat every 2-3 hours. Exercise 45 min a day. Example of one day:

    Breakfast:
    2 egg whites
    1 slice of ezekial bread with sugar free jelly
    Half of an apple

    Snack:
    Carrots and hummus or
    2 oz chicken

    Lunch:
    2 oz chicken
    1/2 cup oatmeal
    2 cups veggies

    Snack:
    2 oz chicken or tuna
    Half an apple

    Dinner:
    2-3 oz of protein
    1/2 cup brown rice
    2 cups veggies

    Exercise: I either do insanity or i run. Cardio burns fat but sometimes add in a couple strength workouts just to change it up.

    So yeh thats my everyday life. Eating every 2-3 hours boosts your metabolism but if you cant stick to that just make sure you eat clean everyday :)

    OK I do a lot less. Ive been on here 2 months now which isnt long compared to many.

    I eat 1500 plus exercise cals if I feel like - and usually I do. I do 20 mins exercise a day. (altho some days I dont) thast eitehr a run/walk or a work out dvd. I try to get out of the house at least once a day to run an errand so thats a bit more walking. I eat 3 meals and 3 snacks but just cos thats how I like it right now.
    Breakfast is usually porridge or 2 slices of toast. Lunch is soup and bread, eggs and bread, tuna and tomatoes or leftovers. Dinner varies - I try to have lean meat 2-3 times a week. I like to have red meat at least once a week.

    I have phases of experimenting with what works for me in terms of not being hungry mainly. I hate being hungry, it makes me anxious and/or lethargic. I may try vastly different things if I get fed up with this...I think mfp is a great tool. Do whatever, log it and decide what you like doing
