On a previous post, I told you about my weight loss journey. Now, after losing 40 lbs., I thought I would share this. It's probably not as fast as some would like, but, it is healthy. My goal was 1 pound a week. I was just happy if the number kept going down:)
Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Blueberries,
Brown Rice,
Black Beans (or any beans),

Oatmeal,

Ambrosia Apples
Banana
Laughing Cow Cheese

Grand Salsa (with corn and beans) Hyvee brand
Dark Chocolate: (Every time you feel like you have to have something sweet, or hungry for something, just don't know what?) Have one square and wait 15 minutes before you have another.
Exceptions: Every morning I have Fat Free Vanilla Creamer in my coffee and I haven't cut out a glass of a Reisling in the evening.
Favorite fast suppers:

Important: Eat something every couple of hours, don't let yourself get hungry. It doesn't have to be a lot, just something to keep your blood sugar level stable.
