can somebody estimate how many calories ?

Do you recommend a fat burner to speed things up ? Also, how bad would something like a chicken fajita pita from jack in the box be ? Sometimes I am on the run and don't have a choice. How bad would that be for what I am trying to accomplish ?

Fat burners are your business, I can't take that stuff, my health is compromised in other areas. You need to think long term, as in, it's should take you at least three months to lose that weight with minimum muscle loss. You certainly didn't gain it overnight.

As for the Jack in the Box, the chicken fajita is listed in my diet database, if it's the wholegrain one, 320 cal, 40p/30f/30c. Two of those with a bottle of water would make a good occasional lunch.

I don't think it is the wholegrain one. I just ate one to be safe. Those things are so good. I have to try to make some home made ones soon. Thanks again for your input, it has been really helpful. One more thing regarding the flax. Do I just grind up enough as I go, or can I grind up a few days worth ? If so, do I refigerate them with a ziplock ? I can't believe I am this stupid.

You can keep them either in the fridge or freezer and grind what you need as you use them.

Honey, you're NOT stupid!!! Ain't no such thing as a stupid question.

Now if you REFUSE to learn, that's another thing, but referencing, researching, asking questions, whole other ball of wax.

Thanks again. Tomorrow makes day 10. I really think this is the time. The one key this time around is each meal is pre-planned. I have learned if you don't have a plan, your plan will fail. That use to be one of my biggest problems, not planning meals the day prior. Plus all of your great advise. About 5 years ago I went from 215 down to 180 in about 3 months, but I lost a lot muscle while doing so and really didn't see abs. My stomach was flat, but I still had small love handles. I know from reading on here it's because I was starving myself and my body would hoard fats. My diet back then was only about 75% of what it should have been. I think this time I have a lot better plan. I just need to keep up my motivation and energy levels. I would like to see some results in the next couple weeks to keep me motivated.
