Fri - calories are better
Sat - looks great!
Keep up the good work!!!! ]]>Comment on Boot Camp Biggest Losers Blog - Week1tag:blog.coloradobootcamp.com,2008-06-17:1126298Agent Meier2008-06-17T11:10:41Z2008-06-17T11:10:41ZJust checking I am sure they are because you watch so closely.
Personally I would break breakfast up into two smaller meals. 1 with the eggs, 1-2 slices of turkey bacon, bagel. later blueberries, almonds and some more protein.
dinner - that would be quite high in calories, sodium and carbs!
Good luck on the gum!
********************************************
Try eating regular fat foods... Get rid of all "Fat Free and Low Fat Items" Your body will react better to full fat (I know, hard to believe and scary) BUT TRUE! And you will lose more weight and feel fuller and better.
Calories seem high still. I think by eating regular fat as mentioned you will acutally cut your calories, be fuller throughout the day and more satiated and lose weight in the process.

Artificial sweeteners have the same if not worse affect as sugar does. i.e. causing you to be more hungry and crave more. Plus soda helps dehydrate you and causes you to be hungry when in realitiy you are really thirsty.
Try switching to water, distilled water and add some lemon juice or a splash of cranberry juice (just a splash) this will give the water the flavor you are no doubt seeking and help get you more hydrated thus alieviating the cravings as much.
Also avoid sugar at all cost before bed. This will avoid the food craving spikes.
And lastly, just make good choices. Avoid goldfish and such.
Think "what would Kelli eat?" that might help you avoid many things.
Try to drop the gum....
Your food looks really good with a few exceptions, so I really think it is the above mentioned items causing you the problems.
Feedback is welcome. - Agent Meier ]]>Comment on Boot Camp Biggest Losers Blog - Week1tag:blog.coloradobootcamp.com,2008-06-11:1113874Agent Meier2008-06-11T19:00:22Z2008-06-11T19:00:22Z Wed: Try to cut back on the strawberries.... something like 1/2 cup.
Need to know times of day you are eating if possible.
Calories look okay, I would just like to see more meals spaced out.
Sunday: watch sodium in cottage cheese. cataloupe and stawberries = lots of sugar carbs (although I am certain you were hungry and may have needed them)
snack = GREAT! Lunch = GREAT! snack = good!
Dinner = GREAT!!!
Good JOB!
**********************************************
Monday: Good on water! breakfast = good. snack = good. lunch = good. dinner and evening snack = good.
Need to know times of day.
***********************************************
Tuesday: cut grapes when having oatmeal = too many carbs (grapes are high) snack = good. lunch = good. snack and dinner = good. evening snack = cut strawberries in half (1/2 cup) - lots of sugar before bed.

Cooking class... of course I am going to say avoid the chips, watch the fat. You were probably full because of the carbs and fat, but you were on a cruise and we all understand.
Evening meal looks good!
Yes on the too many calories most likely as stated above. Your food had some pretty large spaces as well.
Tuesday: Pretty good over all. Yes, needed a snack as noted. Let me know quantities of chicken and such if you can. Calories look pretty close to target - Good Job on "re-entry"!
