South Beach Diet - Anyone doing IVF & other ????'s

I am currently trying to lose some weight on the SBD so that I can start another cycle of IVF(have a 15mth old son). I don't want to wait until I get to goal weight and was wondering if I should revert to phase 3 whilst undergoing treatment or to continue on phase 2?

I am on day 10 of phase 1 at the moment and have lost 12lbs so far...but my weight has been static for the last 3 days. My motivation at the moment is really low.

Will the weight start to come off again? Does it get easier on phase 2?

Thanks for the help,

Lorna, we're really not able to give you that sort of advice. I'd ask your doctor about it.
Yes, the weight will continue to come off on Phase II, but at a slower rate. Congratulations on your "baby", and good luck with the next! :)

I know you are frustrated, but you have to give your body time to "rest" in between losses, especially big ones! I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks, and none this week but that's o.k. because the body needs breaks to "catch up" before losing again. The weight will continue to come off if you are faithful, hang in there!

As for the other question about phase 3, you really do need to talk to the dr about that one.

:grouphug: you are doing great! Hang in there and good luck with the IVF. :)
