What are you going to celebrate about today?


We all are doing so well. Some are losing, some are staying the same and some are gaining, but sometimes you have to gain before you start losing.

We all are changing our eating habits and ways of thinking.

We all are learning to handle LIFE'S curve balls better.

We all are happier with ourselves than we thought was possible.

Keep it up Ladies, I am proud of all of us.

No rain here, lower temps! HA upper 90's.
This is a do "nothing" day for me. Maybe I will pamper myself with a long warm/cool bath and read a Danielle Steel book.

Have a Celebratory day.

I wasn't really hungry yesterday, and had to force myself to eat a slice of turkey for supper.

Well, I'm only on Day 4 of Phase 1, so I don't have much progress-wise to report (I am avoiding the scale--once weekly weigh-ins and that is it), but I HAVE been awfully virtuous in resisting temptation.

Day 1: Office birthday, cake provided. I drank water.
Day 2: Office good-bye party. More cake. More water.
Day 3: Happy hour. Alcohol AND cheeseburgers with fries on
special. I splurged and had Diet Coke (albeit with
caffeine--I'm only so strong).
Day 4: Training meeting. Pastries and muffins and bagels and OJ
and cranberry juice. Again, I had water. Mmm, water.

I don't know how I am scale-wise, but I am feeling a bit smug in managing to say "no" to everything I would have said "yes" to not 5 days ago. It's something, anyway.

I an Celebrating My *Will Power *

I am so proud of myself. Only 4 days into the induction phase , and i think I have done very, very well. I messed up once, but It could have been worse

I am also celebrating the fact, that I NO LONGER feel bloated after I eat. I was always bloated after i ate ( mainly carbs ) and I was miserable, so It feel pretty good, to NOT feel bloated

Congrats to those who have LOST weight. keep up the good work.

Hang in there to those who are still waiting to lose. You will get there

I'm a guy on the Beach...and losing weight!!! day 4 phase 2... 14+ so far and I'm not hungry...but would like a cookie!!! go everyone go!!

Today I celebrate...my discipline
willpower
good health
and the fact that I beat my record this A.M. by doing 30 pullups/chinups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But now, I have only one chin to get up!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANNY!!!!! I wish you a happy and healthy year.

TKB- Welcome! Congrats on the 14 pound loss!

ABFAb- You are great at saying no. Keep it up!

To all the South Beach Success Stories (all of you)- Congrats!!

Happy birthday Frannie!!!
