1 banana
Lunch
1 cup tomato soup
1 clementine
Snack
rice cake with 1 tsp peanut butter

Dinner
whole wheat angel hair pasta with red sauce and 2 small meatballs
TONS of water!
Thank goodness there's a bathroom in my classroom.

Today I made this
Portobello and Spinach flatbread w Goat Cheese

I can buy premade dough from a local restaurant but in a snap you can make your own dough or use pillsbury in the tin.
I usually get a whole wheat dough
I take about 1/3 of the dough and roll it out as thin as possible.
I'm trying to lose weight so I am going light on the cheese. I use about
1/2 ounce Parmagiano reggiano
1/2 ounce pecornio
1/2 ounce of 1% mozzarella
1/2 to 1 oz of goat cheese.
sprinkle all cheese on dough
add 2 cloved minced garlic
then top with
3 basil leafs, chopped(dry can be used)
1/2 c chopped spinach (app.)
1 sliced plum tomato
2 sliced portobello mushrooms

Just wanted to let you all know that her on the "just for fun" area there is a forum called W.I.S.H..its all about weight loss. We even have a biggest loser challenge that just started. Good Luck! I'm looking to lose 40-50lbs by the end of the year (20 by the end of may)

I made diet soda cupcakes tonight and they are wonderful!!! I took a Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate cake mix and mixed it with a can of diet pepsi. I made cupcakes because it's only DH and I so a cake goes to waste. I figure I can freeze the cupcakes and pull them out as we want them. On WW, they are 2 pts each

Shelby and all-

I'm going to move this thread to the W.I.S.H. (We're Inspired to Stay Healthy) forum, where you'll find LOTS of kindred spirits and lots of support in your weight loss journey.

On W.I.S.H., you'll find lots of people on different healthy eating and fitness plans. Give support, share ideas, get a little inspiration on those days you're tempted to quit... it's a great place!

I think I will start off the day with my daily meal plan.

Breakfast: Wheat Chex with 2% milk

Midmorning Snack: Cereal bar and half a can of diet shake

Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken something or another, sugar free jello and pineapple

Afternoon snack: Granola Bites and perhaps more diet shake or some Special K protein water

Dinner: Leftovers from yesterdays dinner

Dessert: Cocoa merengue(sp?) cookies, they are fat and gluten free. I only eat about 7 or 8...a serving is 16 since they are small.

Today is basically a repeat of yesterday. Saturday will be interesting since I start on a 4 Saturday tax preparation course. I may splurge a bit since it's the weekend.

Now I have to get motivated to start exercising. Anyone know any good exercises for an office setting? Like ones to do while sitting at your desk?

Thanks, WebmasterKathy!! Sorry about that!!!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Things are fine here on day 3! I won't be weighing myself for a few weeks though. I go to the oncologist on 1/15 and they will weigh me when I get there. (oh joy) So, I'll just hold off until then.

I need to get started with the exercise as well, I started to go the other day and got sidetracked by 15 different things. (cleaning and all) So, I think I'll start tomorrow, no school, I don't have to get anyone up and out the door. I'll just get the kiddies their breakfast and then work out!

I kept looking over on the Family board(I think that's where I first posted).So glad i decided to take a peek over here!!;^)

I'm doing great! My 1 week weigh-in is tomorrow,but I cheated and weighed myself today because I couldn't wait to see results(7 lbs!!!!!!)
I'm trying a different approach to losing weight this time. I'm using 3 HMR shakes a day (Health Management Resources)plus 5-6 servings everyday of fruit and veggies and a dinner which has consisted of 1 weight watchers entree with added veggies and added protien .These shakes are filled with fruit and taste AWESOME! I feel like I'm cheating with a strwberry shake!
I think this works for me because the shakes make me feel VERY full and they're sweet.My plan is to continue with the shakes for 3 months(3 a day and 1 meal)and then scale it down to 2 a day and then 1 shake a day. The shakes are meal replacements and right now I need to get under control!
As far as exercise,my job(owner of a dog daycare, www.chancetorun.com) is ALL about exercise! I'm outside 10 hours Mon-Fri walking a 3/4 acre lot with dogs. I keep them moving and it keeps me moving!
Good luck everybody!!!

Well I'm doing okay so far...

Started a new job today. Felt too sick with nerves to eat anything yesterday so I only ate a slice of pizza, half a bowl of leek and potato soup and two tiny cookies.

Today I've eaten a handful of grapes, a cheese pannini (it was the only kind that didn't contain mayo!)...don't plan on eating anything/much before dinner so that should be okay and then no snacking after dinner because I won't be done til 8pm and it's bed at 11 for me now

Cheese paninis are not ideal; but I ate it at 1.30pm, refused cookies at the staff meeting today and it's 5.30pm now and I'm not feeling especially hungry
