The 3-400 calories is estimated according to Spark People nutrition tracker. I dropped one fruit because I know I don't handle sugar well - makes me jumpy, I've never been much of a fruit eater. I can add the fruit back in. When the veggies have hardly any calories, than means I'm getting two 4 oz servings of protein and the calories just don't add up. I've been a slow loser (1/2 lb a day or less) so I dropped the melba for the most part. I still add it in sometimes.

I am 5'3'' and currently 144. I'd like to get to 130. The "health charts" say I should be between 108-127. I started at 158, so I'm halfway to my goal. Other than today, I have had no problems with the diet. I was a pretty healthy eater before (except I just loved my carbs) and I think that's why I'm not having the losses of a pound or more a day. I'm ok with losing it at this pace. I'm also not getting any exercise, I'd like to walk but it is cold and I don't have a treadmill. I may do a little of the basic T-TAPP workout just to get my blood pumping.

Thanks for the feedback.

The fainting bit was a little unnerving, but I have felt great the rest of the day. Before I stop altogether (which I could do safely at this point) I think I will add in the second fruit and maybe melba once a day. That will get the calories up.
