Okay so this is my plan (im doing it as a lifestyle, its not a diet)
Sundays - Fridays:
Exercise:
15 min weight training
15 min elliptical trainer

Eating plan:
Breakfast: a serving of fresh fruit (low starch low sugar and low fat) e.g green apple with 6 ounces skimmed plain yogurt

Lunch: afternoon
* bowl of veggies (fresh or cooked) but i stay away from starchy or fatty kinds like beans,peas, potatoes, corn,avocadoes,olives,carrots
and
* good portion of lean meat (e.g 7 ounces skinless grilled chicken)

Drink lots of water

Saturdays: day off

Do you think i can lose 10-15 pounds by the end of 2008? (116 days)
