I think i need to get on the bandwagon with this. My goal is to lose 15 lbs before the wedding at least...20 max.

B- nada (really not a breakfast person)
L- Mediterranean Chix Salad minus the pita chips and water
D-TBD probably fish but not sure.

I dont snack...but having a hard time with my weight. i am 155 now, 5 foot 8.5 and a size 8 to 10...want to be 130-135 and a size 4 if possible but in a healthy way.

Gym tonight will be 2.5 miles cardio/eliptical and 1 hr of lifting.

Donna, you might want to start snacking. If you eat every 2 hours, your body starts to burn more regularly and it kicks up your metabolism

BUT I will say that you're way taller than me and instead of having a weight goal you might want to set a 'size' goal and use measurements. I.E. (not to sound cocky) but I weigh 125 and am only 5'2"...I have more of an athletic frame but I am a size 2-4...I ideally want to 'weigh' 115 but I want it to be all muscle, not just be skinny, know what I mean?

Hope that helps

thanks kat. yeah i need so much advice and help. i was 220 lbs about 7 yrs ago. i lost the weight using atkins diet and at one time was 135 and a size 4 and i felt amazing. and i didnt look sickly or anything.  however the diet nearly killed me and i learned to keep most of the weight off by just eating better. 
 i suffer from some stomach issues, gluten problems mostly....so i switched to organic and gluten free foods and i have never been big on snacking. the organic foods have helped. if i do snack which isnt often its usually fruit. but as i got older its been really hard to shed stubborn lbs around my stomach. i also am pretty top heavy..borderline 34DD depending on the day LOL . i work out in the field/outdoors,...sometime long crazy hours. my work day goes from 5-6 am to 10 pm. sometimes i miss meals completely which is bad.
ive been back at the gym..but im starting to look very muscular up top and cant seem to eliminate stomach and butt and thigh chunckiness.
ill try some small snacks here or there and hopefully by body will regulate...andi wont over indulge when im eating normal meals. switched to ALL water today. im going to miss my sweet tea.

Those are good steps, you're doing great!

Try this site if you have time too (it helps you track food, water, and fitness with caloric goals and weight loss goals):
www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate

I did the same: I only drink water and treat myself on the weekends (I usually hate sweet drinks now)
I was myself over 150lbs over 4 years ago and switch to snacking and water and lost all the fat. Still working on my stomach and thighs but Insanity is definitely helping with that; less heavy weight training and more sport conditioning and plyo movements.

It's hard to start snacking, but once you do you'll see your body burns way more and way quicker!
