I eat around 1400-1500 calories a day. A typical meal plan would be something like this:
Breakfast: Fruit and yogurt smoothie (approx 200 cals)
Snack: Cereal bar or dried fruit like prunes(120 cals)
Lunch: Greek salad with low fat feta and dressing (230 cals)
(I sometimes do Slimfast if I don't have time to prepare a meal or I'm out)
Snack: Banana (100 cals)
Dinner: whatever I'm cooking so it could be spaghetti bolognese, lean meat/veg stir fry, roast meat and veg, fish etc (600 ish calories and no more than 20g of fat)
Dessert: Low fat Greek yogurt and summer berries (150 cals)
As you can see I eat the bulk of my calories in the evening as it suits me to have at least one large meal a day.
I've not had any real plateaus and am still losing 5-6lbs per month. However it does not come off in nice 1 or 2 lbs a week as I'll often have 2 or 3 weeks with no loss at all then 3 or 4 lbs will come off. In the past this is where I would have given up but I now know that if I stick to it I'll lose.
No gym I'm afraid. I walk a fair bit and get some swimming in but that's about it wrt exercise.

I have purchased some Xenical and am determinded to work with it this time. I had some success in 2006 where I lost 14lbs in about 6-8 weeks. I'm still going to have surgery but I would like to lose as much as I can between now and then and also hope I will learn to eat better which I will have to do in preparation for surgery.
