Advice Seeker wanted to know:


OK this is the deal. Please serious answers only! I want to get tone, lose a little weight, and change my bad ways of eating for good. Here is what I AM doing if anyone could steer me in the right direction, offer advice, or tell me I am on the right path I would appreciate it…

Breakfast: 1 Nutra-grain cereal bar Cherry or Strawberry
Snack: No Fat Yogurt sometimes with 2 tablespoons oatmeal added to it
Lunch: Either a ‘wrap’ or salad (spinach burrito style wrap bread with fresh spinach, 1 cheese slice, turkey ham 2 slices and pepperoni 2 slices (if we have), & tomatoes if we have it and spicy mustard; salad – ice burg lettuce or what is on sale with fresh spinach, tomatoes, 1 slice of meat, banana peppers, 2 table spoons fat free ranch, 1/2 shredded carrot)
Snack: 1 small Apple or 1 carrot (or both)
Dinner: 1 portion meat about 8oz (beef or chicken) 2 small sides of vegetables

Exercise consists of walking, isometrics, sit-ups or a combo if any…should I get a video???
I am an avid coffee drinker!!! 2-4 8oz cups a day 2 packets Equal and 1 ½ and ½ or 1 tablespoon creamer

Am I not drinking enough water? I try to drink 4 full glasses (about 16 oz each) a day…

I try and add plenty of HEALTHY things to my diet…fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy etc. Where am I going wrong? I just GAIN weight I don’t LOSE it. Should I get a workout video for home? Winter is coming I will not be able to walk comfortably outside for much longer…Am I eating the wrong foods? Do I need more water? More exercise? Different foods? more food? Less food? Please help!

Any advice, experiences, stories would be appreciated! Thank you
