Red face HELLO EVERYONE...LURKER COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK!!!

Hello everyone..I've been lurking here for over a year now. I'm one of those people who has a copy of every diet book to hit a bookstore shelf, can tell anyone what they need to do to lose weight, but just can't seem to practice what I preach!!
Went to the Dr for my yearly check up..my cholesterol is 254...my triglycerides are 310, and I'm tipping the scales at 285!!
After all the instruction I have given out in my lifetime, I'm now asking for some help..I'm one of those people who needs to see what it is that I need to eat every day. Is there a section here on the board that does that? I know what is in the book..(I'm doing a combo of GO-DIET & ATKINS) I guess I should follow one or the other until I get going on a steady pace, but you're looking at the CARB QUEEN of the SOUTH!!!
I have started going to the gym two times a week, and sometimes we make it three times.. I've been using the treamill and the different cycles for a total of about 45 minutes and then I'm pretty tired..my Dr told me to only go until I'm tired and not to push or I wouldn't want to go back and do more. SO the exercise part is not a problem...I have a buddy that goes with me and knowing that I have to meet her at a certain time pushes me out the door after work..
I'm looking forward to the support that I have seen on this board. Tomorrow is my official start date, and please feel free to kick my butt if I need it!

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP

GAP

Welcome!! So glad you finally decided to slip out from under the furniture and introduce yourself.

The Atkins book has some sample menus in it. Also, in the recipe section, there is a forum for daily menus. People post what they eat. You might get some ideas from that.
