Thumbs up 1 WEEK on the Diet!!!!
Okay, I am new here and I have been on phase one for one week today! I have lost 10.5 pounds!! Plus last night I found out I was pregnant (due 3-27-06) so this is even better for me! I started at 283 and I am 5' 6". I gave birth to our first child on January 7th, 2005, but sadly I can't say that's where the weight came from. I am bi-polar so it started with a medication and just kind of kept going. Anyway, I am doing this and my husband is doing this. We are both doing great! Honestly, we tried two times before and couldn't go more than 5 days, but that is because we kept depriving ourselves. I had a hard time with figuring out what we could eat from the book, so I found good stuff online. We don't even feel deprived, but I have been craving a big, juicy strawberry!!! We are going to extend phase one because we need maximum weight loss for husband's career (military), plus we are both so horribly addicted to carbs we think is best to extend another two weeks. So that is all about me! Well, I want to get down to 145.

Smiles,
Samantha

Way to Go!

Congratulations on the baby! I hope the pregnancy goes well! Have you talked to your doctor about the diet? Will you need to make any changes because you are eating for 2!?

Hold the picture (and taste) of that big juicy strawberry in your mind so that you can use it as a reward when you move on to P2!

Hope Week 2 goes just as well for you!

Samantha - PLEASE talk to your doctor. South Beach Phase 2 is considered very healthy for people who are pregnant but Dr A says that those who are pregnant should not be on phase 1. Also make sure you are taking a prenatal vitamin. I imagine your doctor will prescribe one. Other than that, congratulations!
