Hey Leenie, thanks so much for taking the time to look at my stuff!!!! ok sounds like a good idea - I will try less carbs - I'll try anything at this point!

To answer your question, I'm trying to keep it between 1200 to 1400 calories a day. I AM SOOOOOOO HUNGRY! My mom told me earlier this week "you know how you are, you're probably gonna have to eat about 1000 a day to lose any weight" *sigh*

I know I'm hungrier this week bec I'm pmsing but.....oh well, no use in whining.....but it has taken me a couple of months to lose 3 lbs. I know I just started posting the exact calories a month ago, but I was being really good for a month or 2 before that (which a bad day here and there) - since nothing was happening I decided to jot down every calorie.

I'm hanging Leenie! :-) thanks for talking to me about it!

Breakfast:
1 wheat toast - 50 cal
jelly - 50 cal
1 cup 2% milk - 120 cal
2 cups coffee - 100 cal

Lunch:
small burger & fries
caff free diet coke

Supper:
cucumbers

Water: 64 oz

No exercise today

Total Calories: around 1400 today

*hugs* Cathy; it will come off hunny. Being patient and being positive always helps me.

Thanks Lynnie! I really appreciate all the encouragement!
maybe my head with clear up when this pms passes!!!!

Lynnie your so cute !

Cathy, I know you can do this, but go slow, sudden changes suck and are hard to stick to, so make suddle changes, like whole wheat products when your going to eat pasta's or breads, brown rice, etc... you know the routine. These carbs don't stick to you like white products do. Try sugar free jelly's in the am. Fresh fruit is wonderful, stay with that. Bananas are great source of potassium but loaded with sugar/carbs and high calories...be careful, how about 1/2 a banana instead of a whole one.

I am just like your mom described, my calories have to be real low or forget it.

You know, I feel like I'm preaching and I hate that so please tell me to shut up if you want, I won't get offended

Good luck !!! Lets all be losers at the end of next week

Leenie - I would NEVER tell you to shut up!
You are not preaching at all girlie!
I appreciate all the input - I really do - besides I'm asking ain't I!!!

ok I got to get out of here and get to the Homecoming Football game tonight - yikes - a million things to do and I am sooooooo tired. hope to get my second wind driving home!

hugs!
