I'm up to a 36 waist - thanks to Del Taco and a few others. As well as eating pretty poorly over the last year, or so.
I'm on a strict regimen now and doing a three week diet and then merging it into a new way of life. I have a history of eating well (normally) - but, again; have been quite clumsy over the past year or so.
My plan is to limit myself to 1100 calories a day the first week, then up to 1200 the second week, and then stay on or around 1500 calories as the norm, with one cheat day per week.
After the third week - I'll get back into some sort of exercise, which too will be part of the new 'way of life'
In this thread I'd like to discuss food ideas for assisting myself (& others) with weight loss.
Since Monday I've not gone above 1100 calories/daily - I have eaten oatmeal, oranges, bananas, hard-boiled eggs and in closing, in the evening - I'll eat one of the Chick Fil A Spicy, grilled chicken wraps w/o dressing (350 cals)
I'm open to ideas - but the goal is - finding items that are a little less common and more creative.
Please assist at your leisure - anyone else need assistance or interested in jumping aboard, I welcome it.

It's very sweet you should suggest it. I like the effort and certainly appreciate it. Very unselfish and effortful for you to come forth with that valuable tidbit. But I 'personally' prefer Diet Dr. Pepper. Again no disrespect intended - just my first choice. Thank you again for your contribution. Very delightful having your input here! :-) [Reply]
I have lost 3 lbs since Monday - we'll call one of them water weight - but I've weight 4 different times since bedtime last night and I'm down to 224 for whatever that's worth. [Reply]

That's my number two. Dr. Pepper 10 is a good choice too. You seem very nice! [Reply]
