Today I had 1/2 serving of steel cut oatmeal for breakfast, a pure protein shake mid morning, 2 oz chicken breast for lunch, 2 oz chicken around 5 and then a slider mini burger (140 cal.) at 7pm...I need to work on getting my veggies in. Oh, and I also drank 64oz water, and took 2 flintstones complete chewable vitamins. :-)

How do you fit the water in are you constantly drinking like half before meals etc??

Hi fatGreek, I was having a hard time getting my Water in until I bought little 8 oz water bottles. For some reason the 16 oz bottles were just too daunting.

I drink one right when I get up, another on my way to work, 4 at work, waiting 30 min after I eat. My dr. said I could drink up to 5 minutes before I ate since water leaves the stomach so quickly. Then I drink at least 2 more when I get home.

I should add that I refill/use the same bottle during the day, ;-)

Does it take ages to drink the 8oz?

No not at all. It takes about 15 minutes.
