Oh i wish i had it on me, but i had this great article, i think its at fh's house that i used to look at all the time...It was 12 foods you should eat all the time...THere are some foods that help break down fat and different things like this, its good to do research.
Here are some things i used to eat and tips:
Tunafish-but with no mayo, i used green onions lemon and mustard
Oranges are a GREAT snack for in between meals, it fills you up and holds you over until your next meal
LOTS of grilled chicken lol, grilled chicken salad, grilled chicken with veggies, grilled chicken sandwich on whole wheat lol
I used to also make whole wheat pita with grilled chicken, peppers and red onions
-Egg whites, the eggwhite wraps are great
- i know i said tuna already but when i was out and would eat, i would always eat tuna melts and with soup, and it actually was great.
-turkey cutlets, turkey burgers
i also bought organic chicken coldcuts for sandwiches it was great.
Sometimes i would make whole wheat pasta with organic sauce-believe it or not the sauce was sooo delicious
-they say to eat lots of beans, its real good for you...Peanuts are a good snack too.
And sometimes when i craved something i would ONLY take like a bite out of it lol, if there was cake i would have one big bite lol
Infact that nutritionist from celebrity fit club wrote a book its called 'fat smash diet' he says to do things like that...Like have a grilled chicken salad and get half a plate of fries...EVERYONE says how great that book is and people lose alot of weight.

Ok, so I've always been heavy so my goal is to just get to the weight I was when I started seeing FH. I'd definately be able to do that this year. Luckily I have till almost the end of '08 to loose weight!
Well, I have a lot more work to do than most of you girls, but I think I can do it. I've struggled all my life with weight, but never really tried too hard to loose it because my family is all overweight. I just kept telling myself that it was genetic. Well, ever since I got engaged, I have been really trying hard! I don't really know what I weigh right now, but the last time I went to the doc's I was 222. My goal is to get down to 150-160. I know I have already lost weight since my last doc visit, but I haven't weighed myself. My mother and I started a diet a few weeks ago, and I have been doing really well on it. Monday we start our workouts. We are going to be doing a mix of 'walk away the pounds' tapes and 'windsor pilates' tapes in the morning, and then I play DDR on playstation at night. That really gets me going! I love a FUN workout. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me, but with support and determination....I know I can do it!

i dont really have a goal weight either....i too, just want to tone up, i am sometimes actually heavier when i am most in shape b/c of the muscle. i just want to be a little leaner. I love the way my arms look when they are toned! which will be so important to me if i get a strapless dress!
