Down 3 pounds this morning!!! I've never felt like I can stick to something like I do with this! I'm never hungry! Also- I made that dessert that tastes like the chocolate peanut butter cup last night and I can not believe you can have that on Phase 1...it was awesome!
I also did WW and not only found myself becoming obsessed with points (rather than the quality of food) but also eating a lot of junk since you "could" as long as it fit within your points. After struggling for months with WW (losing 3 lbs., gaining it back, losing it again, spending $150 on attending WW at work and then dropping out, feeling badly about myself etc.) I decided to try South Beach. I had done Atkins years ago and found it very easy to just cut out the carbs and not focus on portion sizes, etc., but just eat until I felt satisfied. Of course the carbs came back and so did the weight.
Good morning all, I also did WW several times over the years. I would reach a plateau at around a 20# loss and then regain . I'm very happy with how healthy, and satisfied the Beach fits me and my family . This is day 2 for me on P1. A repeat visit after falling off plan and gaining back 14 #. I am very glad to be back and want to see it thru to my goal this time. Thanks for all the support. Linda
nuts! i knew it probably wouldn't be ok. HA! oh well.. everything else has been by the book, so, i'll just start over i guess! haha.. thanks for the info.
Can someone tell me what that dessert is that tastes like a peanut butter cup, umm, that sounds like heaven to me.
litar, are you working out as well? This is only my second day, but i haven't lost anything yet. look forward to seeing the scale move!
Not really/kinda...I tried to do the 30 day shred DVD (phase 1) yesterday but I had to pause it about 3 times and literally thought I would pass out. I am sore today but couldn't make myself do it this morning. I am going to try it again in the am. It has to be the hardest work out I have ever attempted!
oh! i love the shred!!! It was really hard in the beginning for me too! I was on workout one for about 3 weeks, haha.. good luck! you can do it "don't phone it in!"

Thanks...I was amazed this AM...2nd workout and I was much more successful than day one??? I'm sure I will be on Phase 1 for several weeks!
Well, i'm getting a little discouraged. I KNOW i'm very impatient but i just want this weight off! This is the 4th day for me on SBD and i've done it by the book. AND i did the shred last night and i'm only down about a pound! that's NOTHING! I keep telling myself to stick with it, but it's frustrating when nothing happens, there's no reward, you know?

Don't be discouraged...a pound good. I think any loss is a step in the right direction!!!

You have to keep in mind that you only have 20 pounds to lose. Most of us have/had a lot more than that on Phase 1 and that's why we read higher numbers. Remember to drink LOTS of water and keep it up. A pound is a loss in the RIGHT direction! Plus, another way to look at it is that you've already lost 5% on your way to your goal!
You both are right. I need to up my water intake for sure. I definitely don't have enough of that. And that's a good way of looking at it! 5% of my weight loss goal I like that..
My DH is doing Phase I with me and my results have been better than his...and he is the one who usually drops way more than I do. When we compared notes the only real difference is that I am drowning myself with water, and he drinks only about 4 cups and the rest diet soda. So, I truly believe water makes a ton of difference! Keep up the good work, everyone!
