Sammy, I need to look at my calorie intake. I can't do much about the burning them though. I've been meaning to work on it after I get used to meal planning. Try to meal plan healthy meals that are lower calorie, I'm going to rejoin an American calorie counter website, or even join the British one at £10 a month. I can't remember what the recommended minimum calorie intake is though! I know if you go too low your body goes into starvation mode and you don't lose weight.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling! Really need to tidy up all the crap from under the sofa so the new one can go in, I've found three pairs of shoes, a kitchen timer, cuddly polar bear and linen bag, as well as various cushions. Oh, and a tape measure.

I learnt another useful piece of information.... 3-4 ounces is the recommended portion size for protein in a meal....that is tiny!!!!

Also 1010 calories in a restaraunt ceasar salad.:eek:

I'm not sure about weight, but the British Heart Foundation recommend three playing card pack size portions of protein a day. My health trainer was really stumped when I asked if that's before or after cooking! So I've been sticking to that and the healthy eating plate. Well, up to the last few weeks, hopefully all the stress will be gone and I can get back into it next week. I want to be more structured with it all though.

Ok so if you have 3-4 of protein what size should you have of veg/salad and carbs? Im guessing at least double that of veg and around the same for carbs?

Lou - I'll be praying. Let us know as soon as you get news. x

I'll send my OH up to you then Bookie...you can wallow together.

Come on woman positive thinking. You are a strong lady, and you WILL get through this :grouphug:

Ames

You're supposed to have a third carbs, a third fruit/veg and a third split between protein, fats (optional) and dairy.
