Also, I got my wife EA Sports Active for the Wii and it actually seems really good. My parents have Wii Fit and that seems kind of weak, but this one has you follow an on-screen trainer and has much better (from what I understand) long-term goal setting. I've used it a few times as well and, while its not the workout that my other cardio is, it does burn some good calories without being too rough. If you have a significant other who is on the edge about doing the workout thing, you should check it out.
Oh yeah, for breakfast I had ~3 oz of low fat cottage cheese with diced peaches mixed in. I had a pear at 10:30, and for lunch I had a couple servings of peas and corn. I'll have an apple at 3:30...and then not sure about dinner.

You can do several training circuits at home with very little weight. You will likely find them more challenging and more rewarding than jogging, an eliptical or other things that are deemed cardio. If you are not lifting, then the cardio won't do too much.
Also, try to make sure that you eat more protein. It will keep your hunger at bay longer.
