Good Morning Everyone!

I am afraid I haven't budged again this Monday morning... well, to look on the bright side I haven't gained :)

CHAZMOM, I think the reason I am not losing is because I am a nut snacker too! I feel like they are as addicting as chips! I cannot eat just the 10 or 15 and I think that's why I am not losing anything even though I have been working out and watching what I eat (other then the nuts!) The salt doesn't help either! Sooo, I will be joining you in laying off the nuts for a bit to see if anything changes by next Monday. Then I will know for sure --- but I am pretty sure it is the nuts ;)

Hope to read allot of successful posts this morning :cp:
"Luck" to everyone!

Hi Chazmom! Congratulations Clovey - 12 lbs in one month is just awesome!! You must be feeling so good. SunnyD - have you been recording your food intake? Maybe you could post it here and we could help out a little. Those nuts are sooo good, I agree with you.

I lost 3.5 lbs. this week - phase 1, week 1 for me. I'm excited but even more thrilled that I stayed OP for a whole week, I've been trying to get back on track since Jan 1 and I'm finally there. Thank you everyone on this board for being the most awesome support group I know. I'm adding back oatmeal for breakfast only this week b/c the weak feeling is really weighing me down and makes it really hard to exercise.

Congrats to your losses this week. :bravo: This is my second weigh in and I lost 3.5 lbs. this week. Which I am very happy about due to being out of town all last week and eating out every meal. :cb: So that brings my total up to 6 lbs. :cp: Yes I am givin myself a hand! :lol: Now I just gotta get with the exercise program! I was going to start yesterday but by the time I got home late last night I was just to tired. Guess I'll have to walk 2 miles today to make up for yesterday. :lol: Good luck everyone on your weigh ins today. Stay In It!

Hello ANNE, No, I only keep record in my mind (I know exactly what I take in ;) )...

I am in Phase-II and have been there for a few weeks, so I think the carbs are keeping me in a stall, even though they are full grained. I do have IBS and have for many, many years, so I have bloat from the grains & that will add weight. I can gain up to 3 - 4 lbs just in bloat and out of no where one day it will come off. I am not discourraged... I am hanging in there. But thank you! You are doing so well! Keep up the great job!!

You all are! :cp: CLOVEY -12lbs :cp: LESSISMORE / ANNE -3.5lbs :cp: BAMIEGURL -3.5lbs :cp: I am so very happy for anyone who is successful in their journey of weigh loss. Keep up the great job ladies!!

Hi gang! :bravo: to all the losers!!!

Me I'm the same 220 lbs.

:nono: I was afraid to weigh in this morning because I had a (whispering) few drinks during the Super Bowl game--Hurray for the Pats! I will weigh in Wednesday, my official end to Phase I.

Sometimes you feel like a nut......and sometimes you eat a whole pound of them!!! :yikes: !!!!

I am mad at myself....my first 2 weeks I lost 13 pounds, my first week on Phase 2 and I gain 1.2!!!!!!! It was the nuts over the weekend...they are officially gone! Everytime I walk in the kitchen I grab a handful, well NO MORE!!!

Glad to read about everyones losses!!!! :bravo: Keep up the good work!!! I will be a loser next week!!! ;)

Spring Break is coming up, so I am setting a 10lb loss goal by March 8th!!!
So there!!! :D

Later Ladies!!

Lost 4 lbs. (I think) this past week. I am on the 2nd day of week 2 and eat way too many pistachios. :ink: But still 4 lbs. lighter!! I have a lot of weight to lose, so I will be staying on phase I for at least an extra week. My goal this week is to cut down on the total amount I eat, I love to graze :moo:

Congratulations to all those who took some pounds off and to those who stuck with the program anyway. :cool:

It's so great to see everyone's losses! I am glad I don't like nuts because I know I would over-do them. I think it's when you know you can eat one thing, that you just eat it because you can. Like I never eat fruit, but since I started SBD, I am all ready to eat fruit next week. I am going to follow his samples pretty closely next week to try and continue losing weight.

Well, my first official week of South Beach is over and I weighed myself and I have lost 8 pounds!!! I feel good about that. I want to lose a total of 30, so I am glad to see this loss!!!

Yeah!

Congrats to everyone and we'll all keep trying and do this thing together!!!

Hi All,

Sunday was my official end of phase I (yippee) and the start of phase II (scarey). I lost a total of 6 pounds during the first two weeks. It is wonderful to be 6 pounds lighter than I was 2 weeks ago. My clothes are fitting better and I'm feeling better about myself.

My butt isn't gone yet but I'm working one it. :dizzy:

Hi everyone. This is my first post to this group. I just started SBD on Friday, but am encouraged so far because I haven't noticed any negative effects. Actually had a great two days and will do my first weigh-in next Monday. Good luck to everyone! This seems to be a great group and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Hey welcome and we look forward to seeing your progress next week.

Hi, Wythe.....Nice to have you on the beach :wave: . Put out your towel and join the friendly folks on this board :dancer: .

Welcome, Wythe! :wave:
Congratulations to all you losers. :hat:

I'm so inspired by everyone here, and though I rarely post to the boards I want you all to know that I think you're doing a FANTASTIC job! I cannot believe it myself, but I've lost 10 more pounds! :D This brings the total to 20 lbs in two weeks! I'm not really sure how this is happening. I am eating all the time and I'm exercising a moderate amount. I know the slow down is coming, but for now I'm just going to ride the wave! I'm going to stick to Phase 1 for two more weeks and move into Phase 2 around Valentine's Day.

Start Date - 1/19/04
SW 245 (the scale said 250, but I was fully clothed w/boots)/CW 225/GW 150

Hey chickies,

Ya'll are so inspiring! Very impressive losses all around, despite super bowl gourging. Alas, I think I'm the only person on the planet who missed the entire thing. Breast-age and all.

I'm a day late on checking in- sorry! But I did have my weigh in at treatment yesterday- down about another 2 pounds!! Hooray!! Too funny, I"m actually looking forward to treatment, so I can get weighed.

My oncology nurse even came over to double check that my weight was right! Although, I must admit that the loss looks more impressive on their charts, for the past couple of months, I've just been leaving on my boots, but I took them off yesterday. So, that was an extra 3 pounds on the chart! Don't worry, I have been adjusting for the boots here.

I do wish it was more, but this is the end of week 1 on Phase 2, and my eating habits were all over the place. But the only carbs I added were tangerines (maybe 8 total for the week) and that one bowl of Fiber One. Hmmm. O well. I feel much better!

Gotta dash, study crunch is upon me, and it's been a helluva day- my wallet disappeared (but was located in the most bizarre spot), ceiling leaking, late for my mammogram (which was clear, another big hooray!)...

Ok, gunna make a quick glance at what else has been going on around here!!

Later!

Yip yip, Lisa!! :hat: A clear mammogram!! :grouphug: And congratulations on the weight loss!!
