Weekly Support Thread - Week of Sept 13
List what Phase you are on, how you are feeling and what's good, in general. I'm in my last week of Phase I, yea me! I feel better already. I can't wait to start exercising to help ease my depression (see Daily Chat).
Edited by Ruth
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.
Because people from different parts of the plan are posting here, it'll 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?

I started Phase 2 today. A bowl of oatmeal never tasted so good!
I am down about 4 pounds since I started. I was hoping for more, but I will take 4 pounds gone over no pounds gone any day!

1: breakfast "cookie" (1/3 cup oats, 1 tsp. almond butter, 1/3 banana, 1/2 scoop protein powder and just enough almond milk to get it going - refrigerate overnight to thicken up and soften the oats) PERFECT for pre-workout.
workout
2: veggie saute (edamame, broccoli, tomato, onion, yellow squash - sauteed in braggs and mrs. dash) topped with a poached egg
3: sugar tomatoes and broccoli florets with hummus
4: garlic and lemon roasted chicken, roasted cauliflower, salad
exercise:
45 mins. cardio (intense elliptical session and 15 minute HIIT on treadmill)
30 mins. weights (focus on core and upper body)

emma, it's really great. super quick to throw together the night before and great to have breakfast already made in the morning. it is the one thing i've eaten in the morning recently where I haven't bonked during my workout. I think I'll keep on having them they seem pretty versatile too...i can't wait to add pureed pumpkin

Today is day one of Phase II for me. I'm excited, but find I don't want to waste that one grain! I don't want to eat something I'm a little excited to eat. I have always been a carb-o-holic, but Its pretty much gone! Its a really weird feeling! My husband and I went to Outback last night and I was a little worried. But I told them not to bring the bread, and then I didn't sneak even a single one of his fries. I had the garden salad with no croutons, and a small steak, a few shrimp and seasonal veggies. I felt so good after. I was totally satisfied, and realized I don't need the carbs to feel full like I always thought. Its a really weird realization for me.
Overall I didn't find Phase I too bad, other than battling my inner lazy person about cooking. I had one day where I went to bed early just because I felt blah and gross but it was just that one day. I am down over 8lbs in Phase I. I am hoping for another 14lbs in the next 6 weeks.

Hope I'm in the right place,if not someone please guide me. I Just finished P1 today,with a great result. I don't want to mess this up as I go into p2 (I did that once before,with oatmeal and strawberries...go figure) So very gently..I will go into p2,and am looking for guidance from you all that have been there. I am not using the words...'hoping',or wishing' I'll succeed...cause that doesn't work,I know it takes a heck of alot more. I just need to know what does work,and then I have something to follow. Nice to meet you all...;o) choices

Foodobsessed - BMI doesn't work well for me, or its not an accurate measure for me, I have a really high lean body mass, so I still would be "obese" even with a healthy body fat percentage. Per BMI, I would have to be about 150lbs or less, but to have a healthy body fat percentage, I should be between 167 and 185. I would like to get another BF test done when I'm down lower so that I can see where I need to end up. Its been so long since I've been below 200 that I'm not sure where that will be, at this point.
