Low Carb Archive - South Beach Diet - Week of May 5

Happy May Monday!

Okay, I finished the first two weeks and the total was about 7 pounds lost. Not bad. I finally got my book today, so I can see how I've REALLY done as far as being legal.

NEXT....

Back on track after a major binge over the weekend. I may have gained on the scale, but my clothes are feeling looser.

Ok, I have been hiding out. Gave myself a free day on Saturday which ended up starting at midnight on Friday and going through Sunday night. BUT -- am doing well today. By the way, Jennifer, just caught your encouragement in the last thread. Thank you so much. Keeping my chin up.

Over and out

Hi guys, just finished my 4th week on SBD and although I didn't do as great as I wanted (who ever does), I did lose a total of 10 pounds and except for a few lapses, was not too hard. In fact, for me it seems to be a better way than low-fat, but there are still quite a few foods I miss. I haven't added too many carbs yet, but plan on having some strawberries this week and maybe some melon, but I am afraid of blowing the whole thing if I eat too many carbs.
How is everyone else doing? I see Dr. A. answered quite a few questions that people had about SBD on the prevention forum.

Started today - so far so good. I am carrying the book with me so I can be sure I am doign it right. I am happy to say that I hopped on the scale today and was still at my previous weight - my horrible last few days has not hurt me too much.....:D

Hi,
I am really enjoying this WOE. I can't believe it I lost 6 pounds in 5 days gained one back and on day 10 have lost half of the pound. I have been on many diets including Atkins and never have done or felt this good before. :D Hope you all are having a good day. patsi

Well, I spent the day shopping and getting pedicures with a friend. She wanted to go have sandwiches and cookies for lunch. I wanted to cave SOOOO badly -- the place she mentioned has my favorite sweet treat on the planet --- but I stuck to my guns and had a grilled chicken caesar. Small victories, eh?

Bunny, I call that a MAJOR victory, not a small one!

I'm still on thrack and will weigh in the morning to see how I've done this week.

WTG Barb! Can't wait to hear about your progress. I'm actually considering attending a WW meeting so I can get an accurate weight. My scale has gone berserk. You weigh once and it's 152 -- you step off and step back on and it's 146 -- you do it again and it's 150. It's driving me bonkers.
