Default New to the beach

Good Morning Everyone!
I am brand new here today ( although I have been lurking for a few days).
I am somewhat goofy as I thought I made a post introducing myself...but I am not sure where it is! So I'm trying again!
My name is Jan & I started the SBD last Thursday the 8th, and doing pretty well so far...I did slip a tiny bit on Sunday, but got right back on track Monday.
I am 40 years old...single mom...5'5"...starting weight 159...goal is 139 or better! I got thru Phase 1 last July & lost 14 lbs...then promptly came down with walking pneumonia and was sick as a dog...the diet naturally fell by the wayside & I gained all 14, plus a bit more back.
I am now healthy & strong once again & ready to stick with it.
I love your forum...you all sound like such strong, wonderful women.
I look forward to sharing with you.

Welcome, Jan. We are glad you came out of lurkdom and introduced yourself.
You'll love it here on The Beach. (The cabana boys will show up as soon as it warms up a bit!)

Jan, welcome! I don't remember your first post... it MUST have got lost.
No, Ruth, I did NOT accidentally delete it! Jan, you're not the only goofy one around here.

Default dessert

Thanks for the welcomes!
It's nice to know that there is support out there.
I have a question...
I tried making the ricotta desserts from the SBD book...I find them totally
horrifying! I would rather not eat anything than suffer thru those!
Maybe it's just me...
But does anyone have have sweet "acceptable" alternatives for a Phase 1 dessert? (I seem to really need something sweet after dinner!)
Thanks,
Jan

Jan, some folks hate the texture. I add some pasteurized egg white to thin it a bit.
On the other hand, try sugarfree Jello or sf fudgsicles. Remeber you can have up to 75 calories of a "sweet" treat, preferably made with Splenda or stevia. Remember you can have fruit on Phase II so hang in there.
