ok so for breakfast I eat one cup of cereal and one cup of milk. sometimes don't finish it. a lot of time is don't finish ti I leave most of the milk and some cereal. I eat something small for lunch. like today I had a salad with grilled chicken from windys. it was large. but normally I eat half a sandwhich. this its the new normal for me I just started this a couple days ago its been awhile in the making. I eat raisins throughout the day as a snack only like a small box or two under 100 calories. I go running in the morning at 8 a.m. and the next day I ride a bike I switch every day. dinne ris usually bigger but I still concerve as much as I can I had two big slices of homemade pizza tonight which was a big meal I'm stuffed completly but mom rarely makes it. the other night I had a small piece of chicken with potatoes. a small amount very small. I take lipozene until I realized it was expensive for hardly any pills. ill be switching to the mucomannon suppplement or something like that. I'm not taking them to make me lose weight but just to help me I can keep the weight off I'm just using those to help boost it a little.any ideas? please help me out lol. I weigh 230 lbs and am 5 9almsot 10. I have a lot of muscle but a lot of unatractive fat I mean I can get skinny girls but this is for me nothing else. I stopped drinking all soda and eating fast food completly btw.and by weight I mean fat. thanks!

Sounds like you are on good road! Not sure where else you should improve. Sounds like you are making great, healthy changes that usually take some people time to get to that point. If you continue that way you should start to see good results. To firm up you can try lifting weights and it does not have to super large heavy weights.I remember when I stopped drinking soda I loss weight on just doing that alone, so keep up the good work! People just do not realize how much weight they are gaining from all the sugar in sodas. As you continue on with your diet and exercise you can switch your snacks up, it does not have to be just raisins all the time. Maybe one day try a trail mix for variety or some other healthy snack.

save your money, instead of the pills buy fresh fruits and veggies.

You're doing well, but really you ought to swear off things like pizza, and you should have more cereal in the morning so you don't run low on carbs and energy during the day, and don't get tempted by sugary snacks later in the day. Include some fruit and maybe protein, say flax seed, with the cereal.

Two big slices of pizzza pretty much wreck your diet for the whole day, for example., even if you're eating healthy the rest of the day.

I'd drop the supplements since with your new healthy diet, you don't need them.
