Lori, Lori, Lori ....where are your fruits & veggies???

Reeses cups do not count as protein either!



Seriously, you are not eating enough of the right foods, try some foods with extra fiber (like apples) & see if that helps you feel more satisfied than the sweets. (I know they are sooo tempting tho) Are you eating enough at all?

Wish you much luck.

Hang in there... you can do it!! I admire the courage of anyone doing the calorie counting thing, I have tried that so many time and I just cant seem to get it. Looks like your eating to much sugar. Being a chocoholic myself I can relate. It is so hard to give up my hershey bars, lol. Have you tried looking online for a good exchange diet?

Your diabetes diet: Exchange lists - MayoClinic.com
you may not be diabetic but the principle is a good one.

I've been off the last 4 days, so I forgot to keep track of the meals. So far this week, I've had: Monday: Breakfast - biscuit with can't believe it's not butter, Lunch - SmartOne meal, Dinner - small steak and baked potato, Snack-small cup of vanilla ice cream. Tuesday: Breakfast - small bowl of frosted flakes, Lunch - SmartOne meal, Dinner - small steak and bake potato, Snack - small bowl of strawberries with low fat whipped cream. Wednesday: Breakfast - Blueberry small muffin, Lunch-small salad with grilled chicken, 100 calorie cheez-it pack, Dinner-planning on having a SmartOne meal,Snack-apple and a few grapes.

I worked at gym yesterday for an hour doing zumbia. I'm still working better mini meals and trying to cut out the sugar.

Hang in there Lori. You'll get there. What's zumba?

Sounds like you are doing much better, great job!!

Lori - Those meals sound MUCH better! Keep up the good work! Are you drinking your water?

Slide, Yes I only drink water all day. I gave up Pepsi years ago for water.

But are you drinking enough?! You should be drinking 8 cups of water a day to stay properly hydrated!

You are doing good Lori!

Slide- I drink about 4-5 16oz bottles of water a day usually.
