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.
People in different phases of South Beach post here so it will 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?
How's it going for you?
Of course feel free to share your daily on plan menu.

Hi,
New to 3FC - going back on SB for the second time. Had great success when I did it a couple years ago. Not even sure why I fell off.
I think I am successfully adding 10 pounds on every year since!
I am 39 - 5'3' with a starting weight of 190 and would be happy to get to 150.
Started Phase 1 yesterday - did a bunch of cooking and meal planning for the week. I work 12 hour days so I don't have much time to cook during the week.
Can use encouragement since no one in my house cares if I gain another 50 pounds or 100 pounds and thinks this is a stupid way to eat.
Breakfast Today - Turkey bacon and scrambled eggs
Snack - Snow peas & V8
Lunch - Chili
Snack - String Cheese
Dinner - Boiled ham & broccoli
Snack - SF jello
Wish me luck!
SMJOLENE - I'm sure you do not want your email address published. I have deleted your post for your protection. I'll change your name and re-post under the new and safe name.
Thank you -
Just keep telling myself - you can do this.
I am carb obsessed right now - going to drink a bunch of water try to curb the urges!
Work doesn't help - lots of candy dishes, fresh bagels and muffins in the break room, trying to avoid that place!
Maybe I should eat lunch early - I know they say you shouldn't be hungry but I think I am hungry all the time!
On Plan Thread Week of October 5-11
smjolene!
