SeaLady -- I have a 100% whole wheat sandwich thin, toasted with a couple tablespoons of natural peanut butter in the mornings. Lunch is chili with beans, or a big salad with tuna salad on it and cheese, black olives, sunflower seeds, hard boiled egg and Ranch. Dinner is chicken and veggies. Or sometimes just egg salad if I'm not really hungry. I snack on nuts and cheese. I have a square of 85% chocolate pretty much every day. I drink wine a couple times a week. If I go out, I'll get a bacon cheeseburger and throw away the top bun and eat part of the bottom bun and some fries sometimes. If I eat carbs, I try to always have protein with it and then I try to not eat many carbs the next day. I don't eat fruit usually. I try not to eat when I'm not really hungry. I lose 2-3 lbs a week. I want to lose 20-25 total, so I'm encourage with how I'm doing so far, but it's still early so we shall see.
