You've got lots of great suggestions already! My only addition is that I tend to assume my single portion is likely to be 1.5 - 2 times the regular allotment for a portion - that's how I got so heavy!! I like your perservenrence and wish you the best of luck!!

Lots of legume based meals will give you protein, fibre, tons of other nutrients and they fill you up! I make a "no-potato" salad using lightly steamed cauliflower (about 5 cups) with a full can of rinsed chick peas. The sauce is low-fat mayo (maybe 3/4 cup) with 1/4 cup of grainy dijon mustard.

WOW!! You must feel as fantastic as you look. Congratulations on the hard work and success. I'll bet your kids are proud too. You're an inspiration to a 39 year old working mum of two who's feeling REALLY tired lately. Thanks for sharing!!
