Tonight I ate three more slices of bread with peanut butter and jam. I
finished my day with a glass of whole milk (3.25%). That's another trick for you, Caleb. When you feel hungry at night and your stomach hurts, drink a glass of milk ***slowly***, it calms your appetite. It takes me 20 minutes to drink it. The trick is to drink just a bit, and put down the glass and wait several seconds before drinking a little more. Denis (Denis Morissette) wrote in message . com... Thanks, Caleb. For breakfast I had three slices of whole wheat bread with sugarless Smucker's strawberry jam which is delicious(remaining 1200 calories), one can of tuna for lunch (remaining 1060 calories), 2 tablespoons of peanut butter at 3PM (860 calories left for the day, which is relatively a lot), 1 cup of cashews at 5PM (remaining 410 calories). Some people at that point would tell me, "One cup of cashew, and you want to lose weight???". What they don't understand is it does not matter what ***natural*** food (natural food as opposed to junk food) you eat, it is your daily intake of calories that count. I weighted 179 pounds six days ago, now I weight 172. I can certainly gain back this 7 pounds in 6 days if I eated junk food. Since September 2003 to May 2004 I weighted 166 pounds. I should get there within 2 weeks. If I wanted to lose my belly altogether I think I should reach 157. For some reasons I could not go below this 166-pound mark. I guess I will have to work out every day to get there. I won't reach my goal without excercise. Both aerobic and resistance training will be my option. I will try and find other tips for you, Caleb.

Denis -- Sounds like you're well organized and on your way to your
goal! Also sounds like you have managed to pack a lot of very filling food into you daily calorie allotment. Today I tried recording the calories consumed and calories left to 800, and it's worked out quite well. I still have 340 left (I don't count the little skim milk I use in my coffee) but I don't think I'll use up any more of it tonight. For dinner, vegall (canned veggies) and chicken noodle soup, for 310 calories and about 3 slices of chicken for 150. And now I'm out of the kitchen and I'm not going back into there!

I am very glad for you, Caleb. You will see that it is a very easy
system to follow. We could call it, "Carolies tracking system" or "Carolies monitoring system". I can eat whatever I want, as long as I don't eat anymore than 1500 calories. 1500 calories for now, anyway. With exercise I may have to increase. In the last four days, my weight varies from 171 and 173. I play ball hockey twice a week, but don't spend too much energy other than that. I need to be more active! As well, I may have to reduce my carbs intake. I should try meat instead of bread, I guess. But I would prefer to start with exercise first. I don't think I can live without bread on the long term.
