I've been following you ever since your first post and I'm wondering how things are going.......you are already full of advice and encouragement of others, so I have to assume you're doing well, but give some details!

Re: Elsie

Hey Finelly...thanks for the check up...I think I am doing okay...I see you posting helpfully lots too...thanks for answering some of my stuff!!! I like to take a minute if I can to post something encouraging in the other people posts because I know I really look forward to the answers to my questions and the encouragement. I think I posted some questions on day 3 that no one answered at all..and I was feeling very left out and discouraged. I posted them again on 'Day 4' and Bugaboo was kind enough to give it a bump and I got some answers. So I know when you are reaching out and feel like no one is paying attention that it is easy to feel sad about it.

The first week was a bit of a struggle to get the calories up as you know...and this week I am working on getting the fat down a bit. I am not sweating it too much yet though. Had a not hungry day yesterday so very low in calories 1053 but still 71% of fat thanks to a couple of HB eggs, mayo and cheese about an hour before bed.

Finally starting to feel some energy!!! YIPPEE!! Weigh in isn't until tomorrow morning. I have been good and not stepped on the scale since Sunday. I want it to be a surprise...LOL....hopefully a good one! But I feel different...this is a strange thing for a 228lb, 5' woman to say...but I feel....well....LEANER....LOL! That is the best I can explain it.

How are things going at your end? Less than a week until your next measurement taking, isn't it? Do you also weigh then?

Watch for the weigh in tomorrow.
