Hello again and thanks for the great welcome!

I took advice from other posters regarding a site called fitday.com yesterday. I plugged in everything I ate along with my activities. I was pleasently surprised by how many calories I actually took in and how many I burned!

Here is my journal for day 2 (yesterday)
Breakfast: Kashi GoLean cereal with strawberries and milk
Snack: applesauce
Lunch: 1/2 turkey sub with lettuce and tomato ONLY, on wheat and 8oz. 2% milk
Dinner: Yummy Pork Chops, baked sweetpotato with butter & brown sugar, steamed greenbeans and iced tea
dessert: Healthy choice ice cream bar and 1 snackwells chocolate cookie
Total calories: 1240

Exercise: I went to the gym and spent only 11 minutes on the elliptical trainer but still managed to burn 140 calories. I also did universal weights for triceps, chest and abs. According to fitday.com with work, the gym, cooking dinner, and making my daughters bed I burned about 725 yesterday.

I am so happy I did so well. Hopefully Mondays weigh-in will be great!!
Thanks again for all the support and good luck to all of you!

Looks like you are on the right track. I think journaling my food plan helps me alot and has really gone along way in making me realize when I slipped and why.

Keep up the good work.
