Gwen, I recommend ahead of time making a large batch of chicken breast. You can do different things with this every night getting creative...
Like I would do like a chicken parm with no pasta and a little fresh cheese (dairy is a good thing, and you can find it in reduced fat) and a garden salad one night, stir fry another night, home made chicken soup...
(I also found a little weight watchers scale at a thrift store for like a dollar )

I always try to stick to my diet no matter what I make that night for Brad. Some nights I eat something completely different. And I also love frozen dinners & desserts, you can find them really cheap at Walmart and Target. If you need a list of brands and meals worth trying, let me know

It sounds like you really have a good idea of what you are doing, great job.

Heather, in my adult life, at 5'4" I have never been a size 3 @ 125. Those before pictures were my lowest, my heaviest and probably my most miserable.
If I can find the motivation and the time for myself to do something like this, (and yes ladies, I am insinuating you need to take a moment to love yourself enough and do this for YOU) I know any healthy average woman can!
And that is for that moment you felt that way seeing yourself in pictures. I completely relate
