It's time to cut the carbs again

 I am in.......

I'm in.  I do best when I'm doing a "challenge".  this is great!!!

i have to second the peanut butter for me. a 1/2 tablespoon for a snack quickly can spiral out of control.

breads would be the same way if i ate them. in a few years it might be more of an issue then now.

the past few days have been like MAJOR large pouch days for me. I feel I could eat a horse. Now, I'm still eating a LOT less then I would before. but still. I don't like feeling out of control. my trend has been i notice this happens at that TOM. if i can find a pattern and a reason i feel it's easier to manage.

I would love to join you! I'm in the same place and could use some support. I'm 25 pounds away from reaching my goal weight and have been struggling for the last two months. This will help me get back on track.

 I'm in too!  Though not for carbs, I'm pretty good about those.  Caffeine.  I buy these super sweet, completely fattening iced coffee drinks to help me stay awake.  There aren't any other convenient options.  It must stop!  Thanks for the push!

 I'm in.  I've been doing better, but apparently I am channeling the cookie monster, because I never liked cookies before surgery (not kidding) but now they call my name and once I have one piece I then have little bits all day. Yup they make me feel like crap! So goodbye cookies, goodbye

I'm in !!!!!!!!! ,,,  10lbs to go till goal and wow its been a heck of a struggle ,, seems never ending.  I have always had to fight the carb demon ( hence the need for WLS , well just 1 reason ) ,,count me in no carbs for a week    yahooo carb withdrawls  here I come   LMAO    Needed to be done a bit ago for me ,, just starting to get bck to trying to introduce things bck into my diet that havent agreed with me for this past year . I think I have intro'd too many carbs . Crackers , whole grain breads , whole wheat pasta's , Cheese Its , rice    etc   ya looking at this list  I can the error in my ways   AGAIN    

Ok I'm in but I'm not starting til Friday. I have a retirement dinner tomorrow that I paid $40.00 to attend. I'm eating the damn roll when the bread basket comes around. I can skip dessert before I can pass the bread basket and that my friends is why I needed WLS.  I have paid penitence for the great donut fiasco last weekend.

I hear you.  I'd rather have some good bread than a donut any day.

And I think it's fine to wait until Friday to start.  I'll all about people making their own choices and I don't see a thing wrong with choosing to take a roll at a retirement dinner.

I'm in!!!  Starting Tuesday!  I plan to enjoy the weekend/holiday!  

I don't post a lot on here, but I do read all of ya'll comments!  I am 4' 10.5" tall.  I started out at 248.  I am now at 173.  I've been stalled for about 1 month.  I know that I need to re-add exercise into my plan.  I had my surgery on 11/21/11.  I had my 6mo followup on Monday and a cyst removal on my back on that day also by my PCP.  I get my stitches out on Tuesday and then he will clear me to start back lifting weights.  I also lost my Mom on 1/31/11.  She was in the hospital a week after my surgery and she stayed in there 1 week.  Then she got admitted on 12/20 to the hospital and discharged to a SNF on 1/10.  She was supposed to come home on 2/3, but I got a call on 1/31 saying she passed away.  She was my rock.  She was 4'9" and she weight about 85lbs.  Loved that woman.  She went thru a lot.  She had COPD, Heart disease, HBP, High cholesterol and lots more.  They said that she suffered a heart attack, but we will never know because we did no autopsy.  She did have a blockage in her posterial lateral artery that they could not cross with a stent.  The cardiologist said that she could live with that for years.  Her pulmonogist said that she had 2-5 years left before her lungs would quit.  The COPD took all of her lungs.  She only had 22% left in them! 

I have  had lots of stress with the weight loss.  I remember the 1/30 visit I had with her.  She told me I look so good.  At that point I was at 204.  I got to 199 3 days after she died.
