It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan! This is the place for South Beach meal plan and food support, encouragement and questions.

Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!

This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.

People in different phases of South Beach post here so it will help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!

While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.

So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?

How's it going for you?

Of course feel free to share your daily on plan menu.

Hey friends,
I've been off plan yesterday and today. Providing my cousin is able to fly home tomorrow (big Nor'easter in the forecast), tomorrow will be a fast day for me...I'll post more than.

Tuesday
Today is a fast day planned. Actual: failed at this today - a variety of circumstances.

Brunch: hard boiled egg (70), 1/2 cup lentils (120), 1 tbsp. goddess dressing (60), some baby carrots (40) TOTAL: 290

Made it through brunch, but then re: dinner, things fell apart. My cousin's flight was cancelled, then rescheduled at the last minute, so I was not sure if she would be coming back to stay at our house again tonight, then bad report from DS's teacher, PMSing, general discontent.

Dinner: peanuts, pork rinds, wine, 3 mini meatballs, inside of kale/spinach filo pie (no filo pastry)
