Question: Anyone else on a diet!?!.!.!.what is working for you!?
I have been on a diet for a month now!. I have lost 15 pounds!. I have quite a bit more weight to lose!. I am tired of the same old foods!.
I eat dry Cheerios for breakfast, a Healthy choice meal for lunch and one for supper with a side salad or extra vegetables!. It is working for me but getting very boring!.

Answers:
don't allow yourself to get in a rut! that is where people backslide!.
you don't have to eat the same things over and over!
get a recipe book with healthy, low cal meal ideas!.
i wouldn't order online, though!. go to your local library or book store so you can browse the pages yourself before you purchase
try smoothies for breakfast!
my favorite smoothie;
6 oz cranberry pomegranate juice (oceanspray no added sugar)
4 oz plain non fat yogart
1/8 can of frozen o!.j!.
2 tablespoons of wheat germ or ground flaxseed
go ahead and blend these ingredients first!.
then, while still blending, being aware that you can get splashed, carefully add:
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries
8-10 cubes of ice
keep the cover to the blender ready to immediately put back on while adding fruit and ice!. can be messy!
in addition to changing your eating routine - and that's exactly what you've done - created a ROUTINE (routine is not a good word when it comes to eating or working out - makes you think of something boring and repetitious, which is NOT what you want with either one) - also switch up your workouts
keep walking, but some days take a class or climb some stairs instead
mix it up, have fun, good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Mix up your food, I could definitely NOT eat what your eating for a month! For breakfast today I had a 2 egg omlette with spinach and a slice of american cheese, a slice of wheat toast, and half a serving of orange juice!. For lunch I had half a roast beef sandwich with cheese and a large side salad with reduced fat 1000 island dressing!. I'm upping my fruits and veggies, and reducing simple carbs!. I am also doing a lot more exercising, I have been exercising for about an hour a day, whether it be on the elliptical trainer, or the exercise bike!. I also like to do workout videos!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It is normal to lose about 2 to 4 lbs a week!. You should get at least 1hr of exercise 3 to 4 times a week!. I do The Firm workout!. I love it and I don't have to go anywhere to do it!. It is fun and I love what it did for my body!. Check out my web site I have a lot of free info about staying healthy and eating right!. www!.familymatters2me!.net Watch your caloric intake!. Write down everything you eat!. Eat several(4) small meals!. Eat lots of fruits and veggies and stay away from fat and carbs!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
First of all its great that you lost so much weight already!! Congrats! I would suggest to eat 5-6 meals every 2-4 hours and just make sure each meal has a protein, carb and a fat!.
