Comments on: Weekly Calories 4/20 – 4/24 http://www.344pounds.com/2009/04/weekly-calories-420-424/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

Takes all off 10 mins to prep and most of that is toasting time. I am all about balancing nutrition with simple preparation. My favorite snacks are the simpliest things I can find: triscuits with sandwich meat apple and PB cheese and grapes I have found when I balance out my snacks with a protein and/or fat I stay full longer. Still simple and easy. I am so impressed. Keep up the great work.

They are only 30 cal a cup or so. It wouldn't add too much to your totals. Congratulations on your weight loss. Your diet is completely devoid of vegetables. They are only 30 cal a cup or so.

I have said it before, but realistic is best. It is working for you and it is working for me. I've lost 9 lbs in he last 2 weeks doing the same thing. Eat Less, Exercise. @Funkright: You get hungry, but it is a different kind of hunger. It is not like "OMG, I need to eat something NOW!" and more like "I think I should eat something". To me it is much easier to stave off impulses and make conscience decisions with this kind of hunger. It took me a little while to get here, but now that I have gotten to this spot. Hunger doesn't bother me at all. Good Job Tyler!
