Most places have a Grilled chicken sandwich just get it with no sause or anything else that is not a vegie. If the place has leaf lettuce get extra and use that instead of the bun or just use the bottom bun. For drinks stick to water or unsweetened tea diet sodas are fools gold.

Never stop anti-depressants cold turkey. You have to titrate down off of them. If you just stop with some of them you can become very sick.

Great job keep up the good work. First off losing 1.5 lbs a week is very normal. Normal healthy weight loss is 2lbs and less a week.

If you don't eat a lot of meat I would try and work in a protein shake. I have one after every workout. It's 271 cals and has 32 grams or protein. Very good way to get a step up on your protein total for the day.

I have read the average elliptical over estimates by 42% so figure about 60% of the number on the machine and you should be pretty close. I would also recommend a good HRM. You can get a good one at most sporting good shops for less than $80.
