Started tracking fiber today too, so the numbers, in order, are calories, grams fat, grams fiber (and in the sum, % cals from fat).
I've been trying to make sure I keep my fat % up in an acceptable range and have most of it come from good fats, which is why I've been eating the trail mix most days (it's 80% nuts with a few chocolate chips and dried cherries). Ditto with the pasta - I purposely browned the super lean turkey in olive oil. The trail mix put me a little higher calorie-wise than I wanted to be today (why does eating at the top of my range seem "bad"?), but I was hungry anyway.
Breakfast: 310 calories + 19 g fiber Fiber One, Vanilla Yogurt, Banana, vitamins, Flax and Chia seeds, 1 Tablespoon molasses in coffee
Lunch: 80 calories + 3 g fiber Spicy Tomato soup, I never get tired of this. We have lots of tomato plants in the summer and I run them through a mill that removes the skin and seeds, then freeze it in 1 pound packges. Makes great low calorie soup.
Supper: 228 calories so far+ 1 g fiber Chipole meat loaf, butternut squash,
Snack: calories + fiber

I used to eat them all the time, sometimes I'd bake them until crisp, top with cinnamon applesauce and sugar free cool whip for a dessert. Other times I bake until crisp, top with pizza sauce, turkey peperoni, and little cheese, and zap in microwave. It makes a big individual pizza and low in calories. __________________
Bobolink, I will try that with the Flatouts! I had tried a pizza before but didn't bake it until crisp first so it was way too soft. I haven't tried to make pizzas with them since, but I am going to try again soon. Thanks!

I just love the flat out wraps! They make a great pizza, and I never tried making a dessert out of it, I gotta try that out soon I also make these chip-like things by cutting up the wrap into chip size pieces and spraying with a little PAM & seasoning it with any seasoning of choice...bake until crisp and its really good dipped in guacamole, salsa, chili or just plain cheese sauce

So today was my first day counting calories in a long time. I knew I was over eating but not by how much! Today I caught myself several times trying to eat when I wasn't really hungry. Especially going for the bread and stuff. I wanted to try and eat around 1200 cals but it's going to take a little while working down to that. First thing I need to do is cut out the OJ in the morning. I get plenty of fruit all day and I really don't need the acidity.
Breakfast-
2 c OJ - 220 cal
Harvest Muffin - 182
Morning Snack -
Baguette - 150 cal
Cheese - 110 cal
Lunch -
Salad with Feta and oil - 220
Hummus and carrots - 20
2 Wasa Crackers with cheese - 150

Exercise: 30 minutes on the treadmill = 200 calories burned (did the same on 1/31 and 2/1)
I keep forgetting to mention my exercise! I've been to the gym three times this week. Just doing fast (for me) walking on the treadmill for 30 min/day. Not much, but this is truly the first time since my first year of college that I've exercised regularly, so I'm starting slowly. It makes me sweat and the treadmill estimates my heart rate at around 155 while I'm walking, so it's doing something. I'm participating in the February exercise challenge, so I expect to make some progress this month.

Megems Your killin me with the coffee creamer! LOL! Did you ever try fat free 1/2 & 1/2? I ask because I just started with that (had a bit of a creamer thing too....) back in September, and I honestly cannot tell the difference between the regular half & half. You could save alot of calories...perhaps to spend on something more tasty!
Anyhoot...just thought I'd mention that. You've done GREAT so far...10 lbs in a month is nothing to sneeze at...keep up the good work!

LOL! I know, I am trying to work on it! I actually forgot about the ff 1/2 & 1/2. That is one of February goals to reduce my coffee creamer. My January goal was to reduce the amount of coffee I drink, and I think I have gotten a lot better! I will experiment! So, I will grab some of that this weekend, and play around with my flavors! Thanks!
February here already and only two months until spring.
