i do appreciate all the advice - sounds great!
i do eat as much protein as i can. i eat non fat cottage cheese with every lunch (that's not all i eat) and i try to have a good portion of protein with every supper. i really try to keep my carbs and my proteins sort of even, not too much or too little of either.
here's usually what i eat in a day:
breakfast - 1 cup of special k cereal w/ .5 cup of skim milk (rarely i have a scrambled egg with it)
snack - special k bar (90 cals)
lunch - tuna or lunch meat on wheat bread and .5 - 1 cup of non fat cottage cheese (most of time with fruit)
snack - another special k bar
dinner - low cal, low fat meal such as fish w/ veggies, or chef salad, or whole wheat spaghetti, etc...(sometimes i am known for a couple of slices of lite cheese, lite sauce veggie pizza delivered if the day is too hectic, but not lately)
sometimes snack after dinner - special k bar
dessert - s.f. ice cream, or klondike slim a bear bar
that pretty much adds up to 1200, give or take a few calories.
my measurements haven't changed either. i am not into my 6's. actually i am in a 8-10 and not getting any smaller since losing the initial 8 lbs.
BUT WILL DEFINATELY ADD 150 CALS TO MY DIET!!! thanks for the help girls!!! i really hope u r right
only time will tell. and then i'll have you and my extra cals to thank, lol! thanks again
