I just feel so GREAT. It is a great feeling to be back in control. I like having this group and a place to report in each week - good or bad makes no difference. Well, it is not coming off very fast, but I just want to be down to 200 by the summer and I'm well on my way. I'd then like to stablize in the "below 200" range for the remainder of the year. I don't honestly feel like I'm really having to suffer. I hit it very hard Monday thru Friday and then goof off a bit on the weekends. It seems to work for me and recharges my batteries enough to do it well for 5 days.

I'm still focused on lots of fish and heavy, heavy, heavy on the veggies. I still seem to have great luck with keeping my caloric intake at <500 until 4pm and then I come home from school and have at least 200 cals in high protein. Then I have a normal dinner.

Have a great week everyone. Remember - we are in this for the long haul

Good Morning to all - I'm reporting in and taking account...

#6 (Feb 8-14)        138                           -2                                         125
#7 (Feb 15-21)
#8 (Feb 22-28)

Weight lost for February :

Loss was greater then 2 lbs earlier in the week, let a few too many of the white carbs back into my diet on Saturday & Sunday...Which I think contributed to the the final loss number of 2 lbs, also no planned exercise on the weekends & since its cold and snowy I lazed about most of the day both days...Back on plan today, logged my foods and liquids onto "thedailyplate" and will attend support group tonight...

Trying to take a moment to reflect on the nuances of my eating and activities during the week so I can see how they affect my choices and ultimately the # on the scale before I post to accountability - great way to see where I've been and set a plan to adjust for the next week
