Ok I'm jumping in here. Maybe the logging in helps. I'm doing it on two threads

Breakfast: 2 sl ww toast, dannon lt & fit (still to much carb)

Lunch: roasted chicken, gr beans, cr spinach

late day snack; ww bagel w/cream cheese (My snack was at home and if I didn't eat something available I would have binged at home)

Dinner: shrimp and only shrimp (didn't feel like cooking anything else and dh took care of himself, he's cool like that)

I won't eat anything else tonight, not hungry at all. Maybe because I didn't have carbs with dinner.

I also drank 68 oz of water today and have been sipping diet coke w/lime tonight.

I know the bagel wasn't good, but I left my food at home and had to work with what was available.

UHHH, Cathyxxx? I see you got wheat toast on that list, but can I ask, are you making sure its whole wheat and just not wheat?
my mom is dieting and has been her whole life, and now she is acutally the smallest I have ever seen her, and its still over 200. Anyway, she is all excited about doing this Dr. Phil diet and bought all the books and stuff. She said she was geting use to eating brown bread and when I was over to her place, I noticed it wasn't even close to being whole wheat.
So I'm just curious cus your nice enough to post your menu plans...

and DonnaD, what is a WW bagel? I mean its whole wheat right? I wondered if WW stood for weight watchers or what.

Hey Partytime! how r u doing?

thanks for checking on me (bec I'd be really upset if I thought I was eating wheat bread and I wasn't) but definitely, I only buy 100% whole wheat bread. I can't think of the brand name that I usually get right now, but I learned a long time ago that just bec it's brown doesn't make it wheat. ;)

So did you get your mom to buy some real wheat bread?

I think Donna's "ww" food is "weight watchers" food.

are you following a plan? or counting calories, or just eating healthy? I'm counting calories and trying to make sure that any carbs I have are only "good" ones.

hugs,
cathy

Well cathy, I did tell mother that she needed to do the whole wheat thing but I'm sure she isn't. But I'm proud of her for giving up so much of the suger and is really changing so many habits.
Me, I'm not on anyones plan buy my own I guess. My husband and I are working on the weight thing together, he has a lot more to loose than I do, he is 10 years older than I am and I don't want him to drop dead of heart attack or anything like that so when he asked me to help him I said "ok".
its hard to MAKE someone diet, and even if I fix all his food, it doesn't stop him from getting other food for himself but now that he is committed it is going better. He wanted me to put him on the adkins and I did study a lot about that diet but for long term I felt it better to change our eating habits
for better health and not let this just be a thing we do for a short time to loose weight. So I have cut way back on carbs but have replaced all carbs with whole wheat and brown rice and stuff like that yet we don't have any carbs for our lunch so I can make whole wheat pasta or something like that with our dinner. We work in the same place so we eat our lunch together so every day I pack us a huge salad with tuna or left over chicken ham or what ever. This is the 3rd week of doing this and we did slide out and go out to lunch twice but thats ok, his belley is shrinking and his pants are looser, and the same goes for me.
and I hope its ok I posted this in your thread..
