I'm eating 1400 calories a day and this is what I had yesterday (with 100 calories to spare): *mini bagel w/2 tsp cream cheese and 7 apple slices *1 c pineapple *2 oz. roast beef on 7 grain bread with 2 tsp. light mayo *yogurt *7 apple slices *reduced fat string cheese *1 1/2 cups of sirloin stir fry and 3/4 cup rice *fun size Kit Kat and fun size Twix I went to bed full and satisfied. It is possible to eat well and be full on 1500 calories a day - lots of veggies and whole grains!

Yes, it will be a mini meet because all of us will then be mini! I think we should have a small, but meaningful prize for any person at the meet who has made progress.

We snacked on a 100-calorie pack of popcorn and a handful of whole grain tortilla chips. Dinner will probably be a salad with a 3oz pork loin section.

I tried reading the threads about it and got confused. <a href="http://mb.laughingplace.com/MsgBoard-T-98629-P-1.asp" target="_blank">http://mb.laughingplace.com/Ms...-P-1.asp</a>

Originally Posted By csgoofygirl I'm from Colorado Springs, CO. DH and I bought APs in early December since our son lives out there now. I have a Feb/Mar trip planned. A tentative trip in May. A fairly sure trip in Oct/Nov. But our APs expire on 12-2-09. Not sure I can con another one out of DH for next year. But I'll see what I can do about the Skinny Mini Meet.

I'm always amazed by how much of a difference that makes. Nikki, thanks for sharing your 1400-calorie "menu" - I copied and pasted it because I'm too lazy to count calories myself, but it gives me a good idea of the kinds of things I can eat!
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS I came up with a great idea for a gift for all who attend our Losers meet... But you'll have to show up to find out what it is. How's that for incintive?
Originally Posted By tinkerbell1962 What a great idea 999Haunts. I've been somewhat motivated so far, you know getting out the cookbooks and switching to fat free stuff.

I know, I know *pizza* you say. At my elementary school Papa John's makes a special recipe for our school district. Whole grain crust, low sodium sauce and low fat cheese. No pepperoni. Very healthy they tell me. All I can say the rest of my co-workers usually get take out. Not sure of dinner yet. Thanks for everyones encouragement. I am SOOOO looking forward to December.
