Super Bowl Sunday was a huge challenge for me as I am sure it was for everyone! I am down another 3 pounds this week....making it 12 pound loss total in the 14 days of phase one of the South Beach Diet. I am starting phase two today. I am a bit anxious because I am adding good crabs back into my diet, where as the first two weeks of SoBe, i cut out all flour and sugar. So, I am trying to do this S-L-O-W-L-Y. That is the key word. I will add some fruit in (yay) tonight before din din!!!!! I am just leery of phase two because I did so well on phase one in terms of sticking to plan, and loosing the weight. I have a feeling that I am insulin resistent, so my body and carbs don't get along very well
Well, wish me luck and please keep me motivated. Thank You!!!!!
gina congrats on the loss. good thinking on taking it slowly. alot of diets that work wonderful for some people don't work for others. you really have to figure out what works for you and the only way to figure this out is to try different things and take it slowly. good luck and just remember that you motivate all of us.
Blah, the bad eating caught up with me quickly...back up to 370...but now that I'm working out at least three times a week, it'll go back away quickly!
Slimdown....
Honestly it has not been bad at all. Like most of us here, I have been on every "diet" out there...and lost and gained an dlost and gained the same darn 10 pounds no lie. Anyhoo, my endo suggested that I try a lower car diet. he said it is the only way that I will be able to lose weight. I am hypoglycemic and seem to always get hungry when counting points, etc. The SOBE diet really is not a fad diet at all. It really bothers me that it is being marketed that way, but I guess if you wanna make $$, it has to be, right? If I could rename this diet, I would call it "The Smart Carb Diet: Good Carbs and Good Fats"....because essentially this is what you are doing when on the SOBE. There are three phase to the diet....Phase one (that is only used for two weeks, as a detox phase...) is the most difficult phase. Detox, I mean because you need to give up all flour and sugar. It sounds way harder than it is. I got really creative, and didn't even eat the same dinner twice in the first 14 days (record for me...and I am becoming domesticated...hubby loves it!!!!!! ) The point of this phase is to rid you of your carb cravings like pasta, bread, ya know, everything that I LOVE. But, I can HONESTLY say, I do not miss them anymore. I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS thought I waould say that!!!!! Huge NSV there for me!!!! Phase two...you start adding good carbs back in like most fruits, my oatmeal, ummmmmm SF pudding and yogurt. YUM. You stay on Phase two until you reach your desired goal....and Phase three is Maitenence. This WOL is something that is quite doable for me. Now, that I am off my soapbox.....if you want to know more...just ask away.
Hello All. My name is Angie and I am Starting Over!! LOL I used to post on this site, my nickname was Hannahsmommy. I am following the weight watcher plan. We have a group at work that meets once a week. I am here for the long haul. I look forward to the support and encouragement!!!

This week I am down 3 lbs!!!!
congrats to all the losers. you all are doing great. my wi is tonight and well let's just say everyone keep your fingers crossed. i have been pretty op so i am not too worried plus i did get to the gym 3 times last week. so we will see. hope everyone has a nice tuesday.
I had my first weigh in with WeightWatchers today - lost 2lb!. I am pleased with that as it is my TOM which always affects my weight (and not in a good way! - Julie - does the weight really drop off you when it is your TOM? You lucky thing!)
Anyway - it feels good to be finally LOSING weight, rather than gaining!
