Your numbers don't work. Does this say you are at 240 pounds today?

Portion sizes are needed to make sense of this. Is the fish the size
of a dime or the size of a pizza? Neither is a good amount.

> 140.5 / 140.5 / 190

Starting point a hundred below what you mentioned above, current
weight a hundred under what you mentioned above, goal weight higher
than your starting weight isn't the usual for a dieter.

CORRECTED (thanks Doug):

240.5 pounds today.

Exercise:
Walked 60 min
Planning to weight lift 60min
EATS:
1.0 1.0 Coffee
Lunch:
1.0 2.0 Fish
0.0 2.0 Salad, waxed beans, calif veg blend
1.0 3.0 Taco salad
1.5 4.5 Ice cream (sm amnt)
Snack:
2.0 6.5 Cottage Cheese
1.0 7.5 Fruit (apple + 1/4 cup pineapple)
Dinner:
2.0 9.5 Chicken breast
2.0 11.5 Spagetti

Planned: evening snacks 18 (total) - 11.5 (consumed) + 1.0 (exercise
credit) = 7.5 (750 calories).

KEY: 1.0 = 100 calories. Example above during lunch, Ice Cream, 1.5
= 150 calories worth, giving me a balance consumed of 4.5 (450
calories for the day). I figure calories per portion. Example:
Cottage Cheese 2%, 1 cup... about 225 calories... round to nearest
half, 200 calories, move decimal point = 2.0. I know it seems
complicated, but it works for me. My system similar to w.w, but I
find it easier. Roughly, 2 w.w pnts = 1 in my way of eating (woe or
mwoe).

So, my plan in a nutshell:
1. Going for 18 a day plus a weekly budget of 17.5 (planning variety
of healthy foods)
2. For every 30 min of exercise, I will allow myself to 0.5 more.
3. I'll weigh myself after a week of this and adjust that 18 up or
down based upon a goal of no more than 1-2 lbs per week.
4. Report in to alt.support.diet (hoping that will help my mental
motivation).

Having a plan is easy. The hard part is in the doing. The mental
game...
