First of all, it doesn't sound like you're eating enough.

Seriously. And I'm sorry but it sounds boring. Oatmeal for bfast

and lunch? Yuck. I mean oatmeal's great for you, but there's so

many other things to eat girl! You say you ride 25 minutes to work.

Anyway to walk or is it highway? I have a desk job. Do you get

lunch? Bring your running shoes and walk at lunch and on your

breaks, do squats in the bathroom, do pushups in the bathroom against

the wall. You need snacks. Eat every 2-3.5 hours to trigger your

metabolism into losing weight. Seriously, it's true. You keep your

blood sugar level and your body doesn't go into survival mode. You

say supper is nothing out of the ordinary, but I don't know what

ordinary is in your house! Also how are your serving sizes at

supper. If I ate only what you ate all day, I'd BE RAVENOUS at

supper and want to eat the table too. It really seems like you are

not hitting any nutritional requirements. Dairy is falling way

short, not a whole lot of protein I see in there and where are the

veggies and fruit? The coffee and sugar by itself in the morning on

an empty stomach is actually making you hungrier througout the day by

sending your blood sugar high. Chew on a piece of fruit on your

commute, or some cheese or a handful of nuts or a combination of

those foods. Even a lowfat granola bar or a yogurt or both.

Seriously girl, it's not wonder you're not losing your body is

hanging on to everything you're giving it.

I totally agree with . It sounds like you are not getting

enough calories into your body which will shut your metabolism right

down and you won't lose any weight at all. I was at a plateau last

year and I think it was our wonderful Ang who convinced me to eat

more and it worked! I lost more weight. You have to properly fuel

your body. The oatmeal for breakfast is excellent...why not have

some fruit with it!

Congrats on quitting smoking!

I'm sure this has already been answered, just thought I'd put my two

cents in. One thing, you should try to have something to eat before

leaving. That is great to ride your bike to work but if you have not

eaten since the night before your body has no fuel and that means

diminished capacity. In other words, your starving and then doing some

physical activity, your body goes into starvation mode, which means

slowing down your metabolism. You can actually gain weight if you skip

meals and aren't eating enough. You need to eat to lose.

What to eat? Oatmeal is great for breakfast, maybe try and add some

fruit. Lunch salad, soup, baked potato with salsa, skinless chicken

with some rice and veggies, fruit cups, applesauce,yogurt, lots of

things. You need a balance of protein, fiber ie fruits and veggies and

whole grains and carbs and you need dairy. You also need a certain

amount of fats, just be sure it is the good kind of fat, non saturated.

It is very important to eat several times a day. Going back to the

fuel for the body again. Digestion takes a lot of cals so if you eat

breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack and then dinner and maybe even

another snack ( I like low fat ice cream at night) you are going to

burn more cals then if you only eat once or twice a day. Become a label

reader. Find out what a real portion is, how much fat, sugar, salt and

stuff is in things. I'm not big on counting every little calorie but if

you aren't getting results you do need to look closer at what you are

doing.

In addition to eating several times a day you need to know how many

cals a day to eat. Everyone needs a minimum of 1200 cals a day. If you

are active, you need more, if you are overweight you need more. The

best formula I have seen is take your goal weight, times it by 10 for

minimum, 11 if you are moderately, 12 if you are very active. So for

minimum say your goal is 150, times it by 10, you need at least 1500

cals a day. If you exercise say 3-4 times a week moderately you need

about another 100 a day.

If you have any other questions or don't understand this, just ask.
