BREAKFAST: 1 BANANA, HANDFULL OF GRAPES

LUNCH: WEIGHT WATCHERS MEAL (THOSE THINGS ACTUALLY FILL ME UP NOW!) AND A HALF CAN OF DIET COKE (I COULDNT FINISH IT ALL!!!!!)

DINNER: ZESTY ITALIAN CHICKEN....IT TURNED OUT OKAY...KIND OF DRY BECAUSE THE ONLY SAUCE FOR THE PASTA IS A HALF CUP OF FAT FREE ZESTY ITALIAN DRESSING.  HERE IS THE RECIPE FOR ANYBODY INTERESTED:

We have a Panera Bread right across the street from Atlanta Bread.  I don't know who's winning the 'Bread War' over there, but I like Panera better.

i think it is kinda funny b/c bread is supposed to be one of the most fattening things...and i am going there to celebrate my losing weight.  so, any suggestions what to get that wont ruin my diet?

Although I've never had Atlanta bread, I know how good Panera is and I'd have to agree.  Although, natanism is right...the coffee's not the best, at least not what I've had.  And now all the food talking has given me the munchies!  Thanks!!

They have a fandango salad which is pretty yummy it has field greens, walnuts, gorganzola cheese, mandarin oranges and a fat free raspberry vinaigrette dressing.  I don't know about how nutritious it is but they do have small & large sizes.

I have never had anything other than a bagel at Panera so I can't comment on the coffee. I don't care how trendy it is, Starbucks is still my favorite for coffee. Especially the one's with drive thru's!

yeah, i have heard of the south beach diet...but is what i am doing is making my own diet.

i am taking total lean from gnc...cut out all the junk food, stopped drinking regular pop, and exercising....and eating a better breakfast (i used to eat a bag of cheetos and a 32oz mt dew for breakfast) eating frozen healthy choice meals for lunch......and lots of fruits and veggies....and every other food i eat i get the low fat version....and trying not to eat fast food'

South Beach is a good balanced healthy diet.  Focusing on not cutting out all the carbs/fat, just the bad ones.
