Hey, Sojo - you CAN have good carbs. Kidney and black beans are allowed as are chick peas. Check out the forum under Low Carb Lifestyles.

Ellis and Den are doing well. I lost 8 pounds and kind of went off track but am back now. It works! And no frassing counting of carbs, fiber, calories, fat, etc. Freedom at last!

Wow! You SB chicks are all doing great! :bravo: keep up the good work!

Haha....
 

Well, I'll quit my b:censored:tching now, because this morning I am already down two whole pounds after a day and a half on this South Beach thingy. Which means.... I have finally lost TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS!!! :cb: I have actually broken my three-month plateau. I can do this for two weeks, right? :yes: :crossed:

Here it is, oficially:

198/173/130 !!!

Whoo hoo!! :dance:

:bravo: Congrats Sojo!!!!!! :cb:

Congrats Sojo :cp:

Good for you, sweetie!! :hat:

I went the the clinic both yesterday and today. I weighed in and got my juice (injection) had my blood taken and was given the dont quit this time or you'll have to pay lecture. I have done great so far I was only a little hungry between what they call meals and I call BORING but I feel better anyway. I keep telling myself if I dont get to eat what I want its not going to kill me. I think I will be able to reach my goal (stay on the diet this time) as long as I remain focused.

Sojo that's amazing!!! you must be so proud of yourself :)

I weighed in early, and I have lost another 2 pounds!!! That makes 8 for the September challenge, and 13 total!!!

Keep it up, Trixi... you're doing great! :cb:

Den, it's a miracle. A honkin' miracle. I am SO proud of you (in which case, I suppose miracles don't come into it)!! Imagine... your body has 13 pounds less to have to carry around! I bet it's feeling good! (and surprised! heh heh)
Keep it up, hon!! :dance:

Way to go Trixi, Sojo and Den! :cp:

AMAZING!!!! Today I had to fasten my bra the next set of hooks in!!!!

Congrats Den! :cb:

Man I can't wait to do that. Right now I am wearing bra's that my mother bought for herself and didn't fit her and it sucks. I refuse to buy new ones until I can fit into the right size I want and these ones are in pretty bad shape so hopefully It won't be to long now cause or else my girls will be saying hi by popping out the bottom of my shirt!

Trixi-My bras are rotten too!! Just one hook tighter. Hope they are too big soon so I can get new ones!!! Not much support left in most of the ones I have now!!!

Squeak-Thanks sweetie!! Glad you had fun at the party yesterday. We are going to a friend's house for dinner tonight, but she is grilling kabobs, so I should be okay!!!

Sojo, Den, Trixi - congrats! You are all amazing!
