Default Accountability partner(s)

Hi, I'm new here! I've seen a few posts about this, but there's so many pages to sift through. I'm hoping to find an accountability partner(s) that are looking to lose over 150lbs.
A little about me:

I was doing dr Bernstein diet with great success. I was quite close to my goal weight, I couldn't afford it anymore (it's $600/month) and I went right back to my bad habits. I gained back my weight and then some. I did it again, plus 2 kids, and I ended up at my highest weight of 332.8lbs.

I'm 26, my goal weight is 140lbs and current weight is 309. I've been following the Bernstein diet (ketosis) at home, but through my doctors guidance. It's not as easy to stay on track without having to goto the clinic 3x a week for weigh ins, plus the $600/month kept me accountable...

As for physical activity, i haven't done anything in about 2 years. So it'll be slow starting up. I have an exercise bike, treadmill and work out DVDs, and I'm just going to go slow. I have an existing injury, doesn't make it any easier.

Who wants to get fit together!?
I'm hoping to stay close to the structure I'm used too from the clinic. I keep a food diary, weight myself Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Drinks tooooons of water and it's low carb.

Hi. I'm back on the board after losing 35 pounds last year and gaining it back after some stuff happened and I emotionally ate. I'm currently about 300 pounds.

I started doing the Leslie Sansone walk at home videos last year. I started at 1/2 mile and got up to 3 miles with HIIT training. I found some vids on YouTube for free. I liked them enough that I bought a couple. I need to get back into doing those.

Having an accountability partner sounds like a great idea.

I have no idea how to even do low carb. I just started cutting out known culprits a little at a time, like soda, sugar, chips, etc, eating more fruits/veggies, and drinking more water.

I have those walk away the pounds on vhs and forgot all about them! Thanks
For reminding me! I tried to use my exercise bike for a s long as I could and can only do like 10 minutes at a time before being in pain and feeling awful. Those and my treadmill sound like a plan.

Do you use any social media or would this forum be easier for you?
I have a link to the dr b food list (it's not up to date but gives a good idea)
I steadily lose minimum of half a pound a day following this diet, sometimes 1 whole pound. Average is 28lbs/month. Most people will say this is too rapid, but that's the point in the morbidly obses category and why I see my doctor frequently. Everything gets slowly reintroduced and taught proper portions etc

I love it, when I can stick to it. Carbs, gluten and dairy make me feel like garbage I cheat lately, so I hope that helps me stick to it.

What's your plan look like?

I told you what I do. I just cut stuff out a little at a time. I've not been active a lot lately. I should start those walking vids again. Not a fan of social media.

I should probably check out the low carb dieting. I thought I remembered seeing a website with recipes and stuff for ketosis and staying in that state. I think it was this one, or something similar.

Sorry, I should've been more specific.
I meant like weigh ins. I was going to the clinic
3x a week for weigh ins and they test urine for
ketosis. I have strips, so I'm testing and weighing
the same days as I was, and I was wanting
to post the same with my accountability partner(s).

As well as like how often excersing and such..
(Which I see from your latest post now lol)
Right now, I'm just trying to do what I can and work
up to an hour a day.

Bernstein is super strict. But I hear if you keep under 50 net carbs a day, you can stay in ketosis... i don't have enough posts to post a link yet. But I'll look at yours, thanks!

It's quite the list. And that's not even updated!

I like to keep it simple.
It says 2 servings from every category, but they told me to use 3 because how high my weight is.

My days go as follows:
3 servings of lean protein (3.5oz) 4 hours apart
16oz of veggies, spread out however I wish
10oz of fruit, spread out how I wish
3 bread servings (1 serving is 1/2 slice of bread or 13 goldfish)
Min 64oz of water a day
2 cups of diet pop or coffee or tea max
4 Splenda max

There are restrictions to which fruit and veggies can be had.
It's easy after the first 3 days. I'm never hungry. My problem is just being tempted by what's in the house for my kids. Peanutbutter is a big weakness. And the few times I go out, and people are having pizza and such...
I have binging tendencies when I do cheat, so I'm looking into a
clinic for that in my area.

Monday, Wednesday & Friday
I weigh myself first thing in the am and inject myself with b6 & b12 (my doctor showed me how and gave me a prescription) and test urine.
And daily multivitamin and vitamin d supplement.

When I was doing it at the clinic I never exercised and still
lost at least 28lbs a month, every month. I'm hoping exercise will just help the flab, and overall feeling.
