I hope that this continues to run in January. I would like another go at this.

Missy, advanced meal planning is what saves me with this weight loss. My breakfast EVERY morning is a low sugar yogurt and a piece of fruit, hot tea or s/f hot chocolate. Sometimes coffee.
Lunch is tuna/lean meat sandwich and veggies/fruit.
Supper is lean meat, green, red, or yellow veggie, one starch. fruit.
Snack is popcorn. If I'm hungry.
Getting rid of cookies, cakes, etc. eliminated a lot of calories in my house.

If you want to know what certain words or phrases that is put on our food then READ THIS BOOK. It is well worth the money and time.)

FAST FACT:
Don't be fooled by a label that says "low-" something. Products that are low in one thing could be high in another, creating a food that's not all that low in calories. A small portion of the real thing could create a more lasting, satisfying memory than a large portion of a substitute that's low in taste.

You are a smart low-cal, high-fiber, low-carb cookie! LOL!!

FAST FACT:
When it comes to comparing the calories of the major nutrients, fats provide twice as many calories per gram (9 calories) as carbohydrates or protein (4 calories). Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram so watch out for liquid calories too.

FAST FACT:
Don't forget to get your daily fix of fiber: Men up to age 50 need about 38 grams of fiber a day, and women in that same age group need about 25 grams a day. Most of us don't even come close to that amount.
