LaDean, I have had the SB diet book for quite a while now. I'm embarassed to say how long. I guess I just had to find the right time for me to try it. I am really not a big fruit eater, but I love my blueberries! I am going to miss cereal & fruit in the mornings, and that will probably be my first breakfast after Phase I. I was doing some searching and found a SB diet board, which had some links. I found this link and if you scroll down there is a lot of SB Phase I & Phase II recipes and also a shopping list. I printed out the shopping list.pub46.************/brecipeexchange11667 This will be fun doing it together. I am going to start this morning for sure. Lacee is doing ok. Says "WOOF" to Tuffy. I am also thankful that you and Kathy are my on line friends. Good luck today!

Hi Kathy!

Hi,

So both of you are doing the SBD? ALRIGHT! I having this in common (besides the dog. lol) can help both of you stay on track! I'm so happy this is good news!

Aleka- I understand about the SS diet. I just can't do that diet. Too many rules I whind up thinking about food all day long.

LaDean-How the heck are ya? I'm so glad you didn't mess up your diet w/ that delicious cake. lol I on the other hand couldn't resist it this weekend.

Good News- even though I ate like a little pigglet this weekend, I manage to loose another pound.

I'll start posting my menus, to keep me honest, so I won't be having a taste of this and that. I'm sure both of you know what I mean.

Kathy

Kathy, I was wondering where you were. Congratulations on your 1 lb. loss! That's fantastic! You really are coming along.

LaDean, how are you doing today? I was kind of sick to my stomach for a bit this morning, but it went away after a while. I figured it was some sort carb withdrawal. It's weird, but I don't feel very hungry, but have the urge to eat everything in sight! I am determined to do this.

B: 2 eggs, 2 strips turkey bacon, bell peppers, coffee
L: salad w/turkey ham, low-fat cheese, oil & vinegar salad dressing, lemon flavored water.

Have a good evening.

Kathy, your menu looks great. Last night I did not feel like eating dinner, so I didn't. I have been hungry today though. I'm only on day 4 of phase 1 and I'm more than ready to start phase 2 I miss my cereal & fruit.

LaDean, you are doing well with this woe. I really like turkey bacon. I just either scramble the eggs or fry them. It does take time to get used to a new diet, but you'll have it down pat in no time!

LaDean, congratulations on your weight loss! You really are doing great. If you have a Super Walmart near where you live, I usually get their Blue Bunny, "Health Smart" orange creme, raspberry creme, chocolate fudge, and chocolate vanilla bars. The orange & raspberry come in 1 box, and the fudge & vanilla come in 1 box. They are really good, and only 60 cal. per ice cream bar (they are all on a stick like fudgsicles are). I also get their Blue Bunny fudgsicles, that are 70 cal. for 2.

Kathy, are you still going to JC? Hope everything is going well for you.

Menu 7/2
B: 2 eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon, broccoli w/low fat cheese, coffee

I want to wish you both a very safe and happy 4th of July!! Are either of you doing anything special?
