Gosh, hate to say it but this seem like a lot of food. I'd *gain* weight eating that, but I gain weight if I eat more than 1300 calories a day. :(

Believe it or not, I actually lost 4 pounds after two weeks of eating the above menu. I didn't list the calories, but when I get a chance I'll add them to the above. You'd be surprised!

Unfortunately, I keep going back to JUNK food, which is how I got to this size to begin with! McD's is right around the corner...
