Diet Advice?

You've gotten a ton of great advise here Libby! I just wanted to add that you need to make sure you are getting 7-8 hrs of sleep a night. Any less makes loosing weight harder. You gotta let your body rest after all the hard work you've been doing

I agree. My trainer says, that if I am not going to get at least 7.5 hours of sleep because of a workout, he would rather me stay in bed and get the sleep than workout. Says it's more important.

i do follow the "three meals a day" thing so i can't really contribute to your snack question.
only one thing: when i am drop dead hungry in the nighttime before bed, i have to eat something or i won't fall into sleep/and or have a bad sleep.
so what i do is eating a handful of almonds (or nuts but i love almonds). doesn't get my insulin up and everytime i do it, i have less on the scale next day.

why don't i do it every night? not sure. maybe i don't want to rush it :-D
