Original Post by windra06:

My number1 reccomendation is 100% fruit jam(preserve/jelly not sure what you call it in the US). I buy a brand called streamline and its 130calories PER JAR which works out at something silly like 15cal per tablespoon, and it has whole fruits in.

I often have cheese and pickle, using a thick slice of low fat cheese,sometimes the plasticy looking slices because they are only 30cal and then a teaspoon of pickle (in the UK i get branston) and you wouldnt think it but its 15cal a serving.

low calorie version of nuttella, 50 cal a serving but i cant resist hehe.

Extra light margarine with a dusting of cinamon, about 30-40cal.

Does nutella do a low calorie version??  or is it a different brand?

The best advice I can give you...is to find a running store in your area.  They will watch you walk/run and advise you based on that.  The shoes will probably be in the same price range as the ones you have posted (ones I bought were cheaper).

Also take your old running shoes with you.

Just something I discovered...the Cabot cheeses - they have lines on their packaging to show how much is a serving size.  Thought that was helpful.

Chrissy, I completely agree with you.  I like the texture of the Fiber one bars a lot better.  I also prefer the almond dark chocolate kelloogs one over the chocolate chip.

I thought I would ask my question here instead of starting a new post.

I just got through with W1D1 - I did them on my toes (as opposed to the "girlie" ones on my knees) but I can't seem to get low...not even half way.  Would I be better off doing the "girlie" ones and work on getting lower or just carry on doing the ones on my toes? 

Hope that makes sense.
