ok, so today is my second day on my diet. i woke up and ate a lowfat yogurt, than for lunch i ate half of a salad. i just got done doing yoga, and cardio for 20 minutes. than i was going to eat a 100 calorie bar, and than diner which would be the other half of my salad. and around 8:30 have another yogurt. does this sound ok to eat? im not trying to mess up, and im desperately wanting to lose some weight! is anyone else on a diet, and if so can you tell me your normal day of eating and exercise. it would help out alot! thanks so much!

I won't echo the comments above, they are good advised, but I would also mention that you should boost your cardio to at least 45m. Less than that you simply maintaining your weight. To loose weight you need between 45 and 60 minutes at 3 - 5 times a week.

I just started WW and writing everything down is a huge reality check! You should really try keeping a food diary - it will shock you!

Another great free diet web-site is

Sparkpeople.com

It is totally free and it gives you meal plans plus fitness programs. It is really great!!! And all for free.......

seconding sparkpeople - you can log your calories for the day there, and they'll give you a recommendation, based on your weight goals, etc, for how many calories a day you should be getting, as well as vitamins and nutrients, etc, so you can balance it out a bit better than you are now.
