Actually I am following the BL book. The calories anyway. I was sticking to the 1260 calories a day, eating fresh vegitables, and the big one PORTION CONTROL! I actually eat what I want to eat while cutting out all fast food and things like chips, candy, and that stuff. Example: Last nights dinner was 4 oz. of ground sirloin, 8 slices of pickeled beets, and 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup green beans. I put 1 slice of american cheese on the burger& 1tlbs Katsup. Desert was 1 chocolate fudge Skinny Cow bar.
Total calories:
Burger w/1 slice of cheese:260 calories
Katsup: 15 calories
Beets: 30 calories
Cottage cheese: 120 calories
Green Beans: 20 calories
Ice cream:100 calories

Total: 545 calories
It is actually alot of food and I am feeling full. I use the bow flex for about 20 min. and when my eliptical ever gets here I will start doing that.

Well, hmmm. I am doing that. What is your workout like? Because I am also working out 1-1 1/2 hrs a day. Hmmm....

[thekidsmom]

I do 50 situpswith 15 olbs of resistance, and 12 repititions of 8 different bowflex exercises. The whole thing takes about 20 minuets. Then running after my 2 year old all day. LOL

Total: 1180 Calories

Barely made it under 1190 today! I miss the 1290 calories already!

Tammy you are doing great! Hmmm, if running after kids really boosts calorie burning, then maybe I should rent some kids to run after. Either that, or I could let Snoopy (my bunny) out of his cage and chase him around for a while. Do you have a favorite flavor of WW Pizza? Mine is the Margherita one, and the Veggie pizza. I used to buy so many, I think I should have bought stock in the company and become a zillionaire. Keep up the great work!

I'm a little boring just plain cheese pizza here. LOL Yes, my two year old could wear anybody out.
