whole wheat mini pita - with 3 tablespoons of roasted red pepper hummus, lettuce and tomato + plain greek yogurt mixed with 1/2 cup of no sugar added apple sauce (i like the flavored applesauce). it's an easy lunch and filling and only 300 calories.

i hit a plateau too quickly at 1200 and determined that i wasn't eating enough to maintain my metabolism. i used this site: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/how-to-lose-weight-fast and ended up increasing my calorie intake to 1500 and not only did i feel like i had more energy - the lbs starting coming off again.
