I'm with you! And thank you for inviting me, Elisan! I've been at 311 for about a week due to bronchitis, so I'm hoping to get myself moving in the right direction next week now that I'm getting better.

Breecita, so glad to see you here

Okay so I am pissed because I am up 1.5 (326.5), you would think being over 300 pounds would make me want to starve myself to lose weight but no I continue to overeat and although I over ate Atkins type food I still over ate.

Well, I am refocused and thank God for this board because if I didn't have this board to come to and vent I would be eating a big plate of pancakes drizzled in maple syrup right now!!

I haven't so today I am keeping it to inductions levels like I am suppose to. I did have come caff. tea with 3 extras to wake me up this morning but hey better than the heaps of macademia nuts and strawberries I ate yesterday.

So, when are our weigh ins? Mon, Tues, ??? (as you can see I weigh everyday because I am compulsive and can't help it so I hope you don't mind occassionally me either cheering or ranting about my weight on a none weigh day:-)

Sharon, hang in there, get back to basics and follow the program, you can do it! I weigh in every day so I just update it whenever I'm down. You can do the same if you'd like

I was down another pound today and am getting really excited to get to 299!

Wow you are really moving !! Pretty soon you'll be entering or starting a 250 countdown. Congrats!! Okay so whenever I lose I will be sure to post...hopefully tomorrow:-)!!

So, tell me what have you been eating sometimes I am at lose on what to eat to keep me moving downwards. Being that we have similar weight to lose I wonder if eating differently would get me really going:-)!!

Just a little about me for the group:

I am a 33 y.o. single mother of 3 (14,11,8), trying to finish my MBA while working fulltime (thank God for the Univ. of Phoenix) and on top of everything else I am trying to lose weight Oh yeah I live in Michigan and I am a Pistons fanatic

Sharon, I may not be the best person to give advice on what to eat, I don't always eat all my veggies and I sometimes use the dreaded "frankenfoods"

But my a typical day might look something like this:

1 cup cofee with 1T heavy cream and SF syrup
1 peice LC cheesecake (if I eat breakfast at all)

1 or 2 hamburger patties with cheddar cheese
a couple leaves of lettuce
a couple slices of tomatoe
2-3T of mayonnaise

Cheese omelet
1 slice LC bread
1/2 avacado

Italian cream soda with 3oz heavy cream, SF syrup and club soda

Usually my carbs are about 5%, fat is 75% and protein is 20%

Hope that helps

This morning I am at a solid 325, I've been battling with that extra 1.5 pounds I gained on the weekend eating frankenfoods and strawberries. So, I am back on course and although I doubt I meet my planned 5 pound lose by Friday I hope to lose something between now and then.

Elisann thanks for the food information, I set up a fitday plan and I am going to experiment with different ratios until I find the one that works for me...I forgot fitday was so handy.

Hey how is the rest of the group doing? I hope you guys are seeing a positive results on the scale.

Good morning! I hope the scales are kind to everyone today. Sharon, congratulations on going back down
