here is how to do it!
thank you for the congrats. i am 5 ft 10 and at 188lbs i was able to somewhat hide my weight. but my size 14 clothes were tight and i felt fat. now i am pushing a size 8 (some 10 still) and feel great.
for breakfast i would eat a thing of dannon yougurt and a banana. for lunch i usually had either a grilled cheese or a turkey (healthy choice deli meat) sandwich with 10 baked ruffles chips (sour cream and cheddar), some pickles, and a "skinny cow" ice cream sandwich. if you havn't tried them they are great! they are round ice cream sandwiches (the ice cream in the middle comes in vanilla, choc. or mint) and they count as 2 points (virtually nothing!). for dinner i would have a salad (greens) with fat free italian, chicken breast and a big baked potato.
at first i was still craving other stuff. i allowed myself to venture from this diet plan one meal a week. so if i had a wedding, or went out to eat i could order pizza or something i had been craving. i just remembered to eat it in moderation (2 pieces instead of 4. and i would eat a salad with it to fill me). i would ask for a "to go" box at the beginning of my meal and i would put exactly half of my meal in the box. then i would leave the box on the table when i left, or i would give it to my husband and tell him that he'd better eat it first thing tomorrow!
