Results are in...

I dropped 9 pounds in the first week! That is just from changing diet and no exercise whatsoever.... yet.

So, my daily menu consists of the following...

Breakfast:
3 scrambled eggs with peppers, onions and a little cottage cheese
1 oat bran muffin (either pumpkin or banana flavored)
1 fruit serving (an apple, orange or a cup of grapes)
1 hot lemon drink (8oz hot water, 2 tablespoons of 100% lemon juice, and some Splenda to taste), but I make mine in 12oz size.

Morning snack:
1 fat-free yogurt
1 fruit serving

Lunch:
Large salad with typical greens, topped with white-meat chicken, and a vinegar and oil dressing (don't know the exact ratio's, but red wine vinegar, canola oil, Lowry's seasoned salt, and some sweetener)
1 oat bran muffin
1 fruit serving

Afternoon snack:
1 serving of vegetables (handful of mini carrot nubs)
1 fruit serving

Supper:
1 chicken breast (skinless, boneless) seasoned with either Lowrys seasoned salt or Old Bay seasoning
1 medium baked potato with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter... Spray! and seasoned salt
1 heap of steamed (or bag microwaved) vegetables

Evening snack:
1 serving of vegetables
1 fruit serving

By the end of the day, it's not so much that we're full... it's that we're tired of all that damn chewing! That's a lot of jaw work throughout the day! We just wear our jaw out and don't want to put anymore food in!

I don't expect the same 9 pound drop this week, but come next weigh-in (Monday mornings, now) we'll see how we fare.
