PS: I love this thread because I get such good ideas...hopefully I can inspire you, too!

breakfast was two pieces of whole wheat 45 cal toast with some i cant believe it's not butter spray and a cup of fresh pinapple

snack- a little snack pack I get from Safeway it comes with a few chunks of cheese, a few pretzels, a couple of baby carrots, a few grapes, and a few apple slices! I love it and all for only 180 cals!

I'm about to eat lunch which will be a sandwich with two pieces of whole wheat 45 cal bread, two slices of foster farm turkey breast only 20 cals a slice, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a little olive oil mayo and mustard! probably will have some sort of fruit like pineapple or apple slices,

dinner will be extra fiber whole wheat penne pasta 170 cals for 2oz serving and a cup of hunts garlic and herb spaghetti sauce 40 cals per serving! will put a sprinkle of parm cheese on it. and a side salad! maybe a piece of toast with a little garlic salt on it if i have left over cals!

Everybody is doing really good!!! I think we're all spending calories in heathy ways. I was a little apprehensive to start CC, but it seems to be the only thing that is working for me. I'm getting into the habit of actually eating meals (2 anyway, 3 on weekends), and not just eating....and eating...and eating - whenever I felt like it. I'm glad you guys are posting, it's keeping me on track!

Morrobay 1990 - I first weighed in on Tuesday last week which was the day I returned home from holiday, but as I prefer my weigh-in days to be on Friday I did jump on the scales after 3 days and they showed a 2lbs loss. Friday will now be my official weigh-in day as of this week.

I weigh myself every morning. I guess my "official" day is Friday.
