South Beach Diet - Phase I - Start on April 17

And away we go!

Well here I am, again!

I am on wk 2, but I was bad this weekend.. We went over to visit some friends and I had a hamburger on a BUN. And a couple beers...bad me!!! I did pretty good yesterday..And I am back on today.....
The never ending journey!!!

Okay, I'm starting over today, but still not weighing until the end of the month! I pray everyone has a successful day!

checking in-so far so good

Hey you guys,

Didn't do so well this morning because I didn't eat until around 1130... had to chauffeur my BF around and had to get a portrait done this morning, so between making time to look "purrty" and all it just didn't happen...

Going to stay OP today in the sense that I'm only going to eat P1 foods. Also got my exercise in...

Hello ladies. I restarting SBD today. It has been a good day! I'm getting ready to eat dinner which will be a salad topped with chicken strips and a fudgecicle for dessert. Good luck to each of you!!

I will be starting tomorrow seeings how I've already done damage today. I'll get a fresh start tommorrow. I wish I'd thought to have started yesterday! I really don't like starting in the middle of the week but I don't want to wait til next Monday either. Decisions, decisions!!!

ya know Tar I don't think it matters when you start. My first time I started on a Saturday. I figured if I could get through the first couple days during all the weekend action then M-F would be a breeze.

I am back starting PI number 5001. Gonna do it this time. :carrot: Any other option is :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: for me.

If you mess up, it doesn't give you the rest of the day to eat junk. You should start eating properly with the next snack or meal and go from there.

So did pretty well on Monday, stayed OP and met all my goals except for the 2 diet cokes I drank (was going to limit myself to 1). I think I probably made up for it in how much water I drank.

One thing I remember about Phase 1 was feeling kind of tired and weak during the first couple of days of "weaning myself" off of carbs. Especially after all the chocolate on Sunday.

Going grocery shopping TONIGHT so that I won't be lacking in snacks.

Well, finally found you guys, with a little help from Ruth, ty.
Sarah -
So glad you mentioned feeling tired and weak. I was feeling just awful both Mon & Tues. I recall a couple of years ago when I was w/SBD online, reading that leg aches are possible at first.

I made the mistake of buying some peanuts today, in the shell, and ate too many, probably. But ate light otherwise.

Could someone tell me how to subscribe?

ok I found it

Got through Day 1 unscathed. Working on finishing up Day 2 and the cravings are much less today than yesterday.

Felt lots of energy today. I don't miss the sweets - have to remember getting enough sleep also helps to not crave sweets.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal?? I restarted phase one on April 10th-weighed in on the 12th, and then weighed myself this past Wednesday. I haven't lost a single pound. BUT I am about to get my period : ) lucky me...so the only thing I can think of, is that you are supposed to lose water weight in the first 2 weeks and I gain water weight right before my monthly....so should I freak out or wait until next week to see if I lost anything?? (FYI I am following the diet at 100% and only cheated one night for Passover...and only a little)...So a full 10 days on the diet and not a pound-depressing-but maybe it's ok?

Anyone else have this happen becuase of the monthly Flo?

I think mosy of the chicks have the same problem with Aunt Flo and Uncle Tom. Hang in there!

Rats, up too late last night and blew day 6. I'll just pick up again, although I don't know if I'll do 2 weeks more P1.

I am still hanging in so this is day five for me. The cravings are getting better, yesterday I had a stressful day and it got bad for a while. Always feels good to win those little battles.

Hang in there! The feeling of actually completing P1 was so rewarding to me. I restarted on monday so this is day six for me. I've done really well except yesterday I needed to have a few P2 foods for convenience. I was on a field trip.
