Hi ladies! After a few weeks of some very poor food choices and about five pounds, I'm climbing back onto Phase I for a week to get myself together again! Luckily, DH is climbing back on with me too, so that should make it easier.

Hi All!! Hope everyone is having a great day. So I am in my second week now, and started thinking about phase 2 and I am having some serious anxiety about it. I feel so unprepared and like I should just stay on phase 1 for now. Are these feelings normal?

MadeleinesMom · 06-23-2009, 04:13 PM

This is my second time doing Phase 1, and so far so good! We have some errands to run tonight, so I'm hoping I can stay OP for dinner and not do something stupid!!

Jessie - I think it's totally normal to feel good about how much you've lost and be a little nervous about starting Phase 2. You have to accept that the weight loss is going to slow down. I even found that I would have a week or more when I would stay the same, and then I'd get weighed and I would have lost two or three pounds at once. So it gets a little frustrating, you just have to try and stick with it and it'll pay off. I think if you start Phase 2 slow by adding one thing in at a time, you'll do fine. It looks like you've done great so far!

Linzluv, you need more veggies. I see none at breakfast or lunch. Lunch needs to be more substantial than just cottage cheese. Your dinner menu looks great. V8 is a great way to get veggies in at breakfast, but you need the filling fiber of real veggies throughout the day.

I had just started that day, I went grocery shopping before hand, so I got home around noon and tried to make up for breakfast, lunch and snack, so I do realize I need more veggies, I will post my menu for yesterday, let me know what you think. Thankz for the input!

Hi All. I started Phase one on June 14. As of tonight I am down 12lbs. Just wanted to quit lurking and say hi.

murphmitch · 06-26-2009, 11:50 AM

Wow, Christine! Congratulations and welcome to South Beach.

RoyalAthena · 06-26-2009, 04:04 PM

Okay, I am on Day 2. Here we go. I am going to do this. No sugaaaaaaaaaaar! Ive been drinking a protein shake in the morning (withbmilk for dairy) and eating chili for lunch. I heard the dairy and beans make it doable. I am on it this time. I will make it to the fruit phase (Phase 2) !

. Later to ya'll...Im at work!

glitznvixen · 06-28-2009, 02:35 PM

Hello everyone!
Today is my last day on Phase 1, officially I am down 12 lbs. Although when I was a couple of pounds higher but was working out, my waist measurement was 3 inches less than it is now. Anyone else experience this?

Christine-good job and welcome!!!

Royal Athena- I know how hard it is to get off of sugar. I love my sugar, pasta and bread!! Take it a day at a time and you'll be fine. I found those peanut butter cookies from the SB recipe forum helped satisfy my sweet tooth.

Linzluv-That is great that you are so prepared! That is what helped me with phase 1.

Take care and good luck everyone!
