I've really got to get serious about this, and not just whimp out again!!! My health and well-being really depend upon it.
Would you critique my plan for tomorrow? Thanks.
AM - 1/2 caf, 1/2 decaf coffee with 1 tbls. plain soy cream
6 egg-white plain omelette
3 oz. low-fat soy cheese
Snack: fat-free plain yoghurt with splenda
Lunch - big salad with skinless rotisserie chicken, olive oil vinigraite, maybe some chick peas or avocado thrown in.
Snack: either almond or peanut butter (2 tablespoons)
Dinner - More salad and skinless chicken (have to finish it up!) with olive oil vinigraitte - and O.K., O.K! ONE small glass of wine! Don't beat me up!!! (...it's a special occasion!)
Water!!! Swimming!!! Must do this!!! I'm going to check in daily, so thanks for your help!!! I've got until October 1 to lose some weight and lower my cholesteral before they put me on medication! Dr. suggested South Beach - also, fyi, I don't eat any red meat.

Hi,
Your menu looks good for tomorrow.
Perhaps you could put your almond or peanut butter on some celery? That would get some more veggies in, without adding calories. (Celery is a negative-calorie food, or so I've been taught.) ;)

Thank you so much for your replies! I'm taking your suggestions...here's my re-vamped first day meal:
B - coffee/soy cream
egg-white omelette
soy cheese
S - celery sticks with low-fat cottage cheese
L - white meat chicken(!), skinless, over salad with vinigraite and chick peas
S - 1 tablespoon peanut butter, fat-free plain yoghurt with splenda
D - stir-fry vegetables with tofu and olive oil ( the chicken will hold over!)
This way I get in my extra veggies with the stir-fry and celery sticks, and extra dairy with the cottage cheese
Thanks so much...yes, I feel I can really do it this time. And my darling husband is such a dear...I told him I'm re-starting the SB diet with a vengeance, and I really need his help...and he surprised me with some extra motivation...a cruise next Spring to Europe! Well, if that doesn't knock me into shape, nothing will!!!
Thanks you guys - I really need to do this for my health and well-being...I'm so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired all the time...I want my body back!!!!

Hi Lucky,
Much better except for one thing.
Whoops! You're right about the cottage cheese - would the soy cheese or tofu also count as a protein instead of dairy? I'll try better tomorrow!
Which cruise did you take? We're talking about the Celebrity Constellation.
Thanks!
Lucky,
For the Mediterranean cruise we were on the Rotterdam.
This will help with the dairy.
