I passed the 300 lb threshold...and believe it is totally behind me. :) Strange how I had anxiety about it keeping it's nasty claws on me. So I celebrated by buying the new EVO phone from Sprint. hee hee hee. Last night, I went to a friends home for dinner and enjoyed the meal. They offered sweet tea to me (I am a notorious SWEET tea drinker) and when I passed for water it turned heads. We got to talking about eating and nutrition.. the hostess/wife kept trying to find things for me to eat...because I had passed the potatoes (another thing I ALWAYS ate before) But I was perfectly happy witht he bbq chicken breast and brocolli. AND SATISFIED! I have started adding nuts and fruit...and will gradually add more as I start transition to OWL phase. Any advice?

Flowerdude - I have been eating nuts the whole time and they don't seem to affect my weight loss. Some nuts are lower carb than others... almonds are a good one. I would be sure to add things one week at a time so you can see how each one affects your weight loss. Congrats on getting under that 300 mark!!!

Oh by the way... LOVE the poster! You can't get much happier than a bird with a french fry. :)

Awesome job. I know about that anxeity about hitting a particular weight level. Right around 300 my weight loss has started to slow down and 300-290 has been moving slower than I had hoped. It seems my body slows down just before a goal. Now I just want to break that 50 lbs lost barrier.
Jealous about the phone! Have had my eye on that one.
BTW, how are you managing the muscle cramps?

I am having a fight with the 200 pound mark. It is being very elusive, and I am really beginning to get very irritated with it!!! As for the nuts, macadamias are one of the lowest, 3 grams of carbs per serving, with 2 grams of fiber. And man are they tasty!! As for your fear of the 300 pound mark, well your fought it and you WON!!! ANd what a great reward!! I, too, love that graphic. I love watching the birds eating the french fries at McDonald's, but wonder how they can tolerate that stuff when we can't!! lol
