I'm pretty close to you. I'm 156 and want to get to 123. I lost the first three pounds in the first two days. For breakfast on that day I ate cheesy eggs cooked in lots of butter, and REALLY cheesy scrambled eggs. I'm not a salad person so I can't help you there . I started adding double mayonaise to my tuna salad and it hasn't hurt me one bit. I rarely feel hungary except when I have to wait those hours between pro/fats and carbs, but this is only my second week. I'll probably get use to it. Plus by now my cravings are almost completely gone. Good Luck It's definatly worth it.
