a 20 oz coke last me 3 days here lately I eat once a day if you dont count my halls ... and that is only because my wonderful husband has me supper cooked when I get home
ok now next advice please
Herein lies your problem... you need to eat 5 to 6 times a day... 3 meals with quality proteins, low glycemic carbs, and some good fat and 2 or 3 snacks that consist of slow burning, energy enhancing carbs (fruits, raw vegetables, or oatmeal). NEVER NEVER NEVER skip breakfast!
You have shut your metabolism down by starving yourself and that causes excess insulin which results in fat (the dangerous kind) collecting around your midsection, hips and thighs.
Get busy eating and living again and you will be surprised what will happen to your body... UNLESS... you have an underlying medical condition that is causing you to gain or be unable to lose weight.
I second what Phil says. Eating small amounts of protein frequently increases your metabolism. Not eating slows it down. And add some strength training along with the walking. Muscle mass also increases metabolism.

While I understand fairly well the body's ability to slow down it's metabolism still if one burns more calories then one takes in.....weight has got to go somewhere.....

That's your biggest problem right there. If you don't eat, your body slows down to conserve energy. Then when you eat, your body won't use up what you've eaten because it's sleeping. It's also storing fat and sugar that it's used up when you aren't eating.
Your biggest meal should be breakfast and the smallest for supper.

I just started a diet last week. I have packed on some lbs since October.
I am walking quite a bit. Joined a church softball league. Lots of yogurt and Subway sandwiches. I drink only non calorie flavored Aquafina FlavorSplash waters. I haven't had any soda (even diet) since July 11 of 06.
I turn 40 this fall. Its harder than I ever imagined to lose weight and then keep it off.
Love deer jerky, smoked fish, etc. I agree with Phil that one must watch out for the sugar and salt content.
Next time I make deer jerky, I'll send you some. I don't care for any kind of jerky, but we (LadyRev and I) need to get some made to get rid of some meat in anticipation for the hunt in November. I think we'll be making some in the next month or so, so I'll contact you for mailing info if you are interested. It's good stuff.
