Thanks for all the good ideas. As far as my workout in the am. I do cardio and weights. I can't (or chose not to..) as soon as I get up because I get my kids off to school first. I find my workout too stressful when they are around. lol so its about an hour and half after I get up that I workout. I guess I'll just keep doing it the way I have been for now and just try really hard at getting my cals up.
I have been thinking of trying the South Beach Diet. Anyone tried that and how did it work for you?
I have to do something to kick my metabolism up a notch. This last week I did eat alot more for a few days (granted it wasn't all good stuff) and continued to workout I didn't gain a pound. I don't know, I think I need a personal chef and a personal trainer. lol
Thanks again

You gotta give it more than a couple of days, sweetie! Patience, patience - the first lesson we all learn.

I've never heard of the South Beach diet - do you have some details?

Basically with the South Beach Diet during the first 2 weeks you can eat lean protien, good fats, and veggies.. anything except for high fat foods, no fruits, no pastas, breads, ect.
Then during the following weeks, you can add back some fruits low on the GI )and whole grains.
