Hi Kathleen,

I am 32, I weigh about 135-140lbs (I am 5'1) and I am moderately active with exercise. I try to walk 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes. I do have two little boys though, so I am constantly rushing from one place to the next. I don't do a lot of sitting/resting during the day unless it is driving in the car or at bedtime.

Let's see, food amounts:

I use a 5 oz can of tuna or salmon.
A handful of crackers, maybe 10?, they are about the size of a domino a piece.
I usually eat between 1- 1 1/2 cups of soup at a meal.
For dinner I try and eat 1 chicken breast or a piece of beef or burger the size of my palm and about 1/2 an inch thick? like a deck of cards? and between a 1/2 c - 3/4 cup of rice/quinoa/beans/potatoes etc..and 1 cup of veggies or salad. If I am having chili or cottage pie or some kind of casserole type dish its normally about 1 - 1 1/2 cups worth (this would most likely be a mix of protein and carbs). I think I use a 10 inch dinner plate and it is mostly full (not loaded) at dinner.

Let me know if you need any other information.

:) Maggie
