1. Watch the carbs.
I do wish you luck, let me say that first.

Now for the rest... It doesn't look like you're planning on eating enough and are therefore setting yourself up for failure. I also think you might want to look at the carb intake and balance it out. Kashi Go Lean is great stuff -- I have it with yogurt and fruit every day. But moderate it -- it has a lot of carbs. Slim-Fast has a lot of sugar, at least the last time I checked. How much fiber are you eating? Fiber keeps hunger at bay. Another issue I see with your supper is that you have no carbs there and not a lot of fiber. Will that keep you until morning? I'd add some brown rice or a slice of whole grain bread or something like that to your evening meal. When school was in session, I'd have a small bowl of raisin bran when I got home then my main supper an hour or two later. I got my carbs and didn't have the hunger rush I used to get in the early evening -- you know, the kind where you inhale the contents of the refrigerator.

Don't try to do it too fast and make sure you drink a lot of water. Keep us posted on your progress and really, best of luck! Don't get discouraged.
