Lindsay's great intro:

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...

I'm not sure what I'm eating today, since we are on the road and it's been a difficult weekend visiting my parents. A bit of emotional eating plus laziness. I'm going to do a clean Phase 1 starting tomorrow with one week of no wine, which frankly is the hardest thing for me to give up! So I will not be logging food today.

I posted this in the other thread but I will move it here.
Matilda, I just got down with 4 days on the road which also included stress eating, plus sometimes the choices aren't good when you are traveling.

I did have two glasses of wine with a girlfriend after work. Weight is up a half pound but I think it's all water as my wedding ring won't even come off! I'm going to drink a tone of water today and hit the gym at lunch.

Just keeping it real

Yesterday

Hard boiled eggs w/ hotsauce
V8

Veggie soup
1/2 banana & greek yogurt
Diet coke

Chicken caeser salad (at a restaurant, so if was still loaded with fat)
2 beers & 1 Chicken wing ... also, gonna keep it real.

I have a bad cold. Not on plan but having lots of soup and fluids
take care
Sophie

I think it's good to keep it real Lindsay. I edited mine from last yesterday to KIR also.

Today!
B: plain greek yogurt with pistachio nuts
L: cheeseburger over salad
D: almonds, roasted chick peas, wine, kefir AGAIN - I know it sounds weird to have this strange combo again. I'm working on my countertop and nibbling/drinking a glass of wine while I'm doing it. Then right before bed I realize I didn't really eat anything so I have some kefir. Not ideal.

Edited Friday am to KIR.

Thursday
B- veggie omelet, coffee
L- garden salad w/ all the trimmings, chicken or deli meat
S- TBD
D- probably grilled chicken and veggie assortment
