500 calories for breakfast is actually healthy, especially since breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day. Lunch is to be a smaller fare and dinner could be bigger if you choose. The larger breakfast will help you keep from snacking through out the day. Also the more active you are the more calories you can consume... but be cautious on that front since to many more calories can result in weight gain. The largest amount of calories one should consume is 2000 calories with the lowest and safest amount of calories consumed is 1200. It takes 3000 calories, burned, to lose a pound. So as long as you are active you can eat a large breakfast. Eating healthy items for breakfast also help!
So! In good news, I lost some weight somewhere... I don't know how much... all I know is that this skirt that I have is actually looser than it was the last time I wore it... and I washed it this morning when I did laundry so I know its not stretched. I was so happy! Maybe in a few weeks I'll have lost a dress size!!! YAY!
