Tara, please count exactly how much water you are drinking and try to get in more veggies. Salads are not the only way. See Beachgal's good thread about veggies.
Maybe you should switch to the Phase I starters on April 26th? Let me know and I'll move you.

Hi all,
You've got phase one starters?

Lisi, it means folks starting Phase I of South Beach. Did you think it was "starters" as in food?

No Ruth, I am familiar with SBD. I just terminated my unused subscription in favor of free 3fc. I've joined a thread of calorie counters, but something feels so right about sbd I thought I'd check out the forums here.

I guess I was having a brain fart!
Well, this thread is for the folks who started Phase I April 18. There's another one for those who started this Monday. Please feel free to join in anywhere you feel you fit and join us on the Daily. This is a great and friendly place. Some of us count calories or WW points too.
Congratulations on your loss so far.

Thanks Ruth,
There are so many threads, I'm lost. Can you direct me to the "Daily"? thanks.

Ruth,
I really thought I was getting enough veggies! The salad that I had at lunch filled an entire large plate and had a good variety of veggies and at dinner it was a good portion of grilled onions and mushrooms plus a good sized side salad. Today I had 2 over easy eggs and 2 pieces of bacon, Sirloin burger, sauteed zuchini and yellow squash, and for dinner I'll probably have chicken breast, brussel sprouts, and some other vegetable. Could you explain how I'm not getting enough veggies cause I really thought I've been sticking to it good and staying right OP. Your suggestions are always appreciated. Tara~

Hi Lisi! Welcome. The daily is the one titled Hump Day 4/27. Look forward to seein ya around!

Tara, it looked to me as if there was not enough variety but now I see. Hmmm. Water amount? Also - what kind of bacon was that?

Lisi, here is the link to the Daily. It gets called different things on different days but should always have a date on it. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57017

Ruth,
I've been drinking 4-5 Dasani sports bottle 24 oz. and that was turkey bacon. Thanks for the help! Tara

Oh my god, I'm dying from a lack of coffee headache!! But I was a good girl today, nothing bad, at all, I'm impressed really. How'd you all make out today? I also started my new job, so even with that stress I stayed on plan The job worked out really good though.

Hi Aimee,
WTG for staying on plan. I did not do to well yesterday(thursday). Today trying to get back on plan. The weekends are the hardest for me. Tomorrow is my official weigh in so we'll see how I did. Still have'nt found any of that spag. squash. I wonder if the season is over?

Patty - I think it depends on the store, the place I shop I can get it all year around. It's hard to find it other places.. I didn't do so well on Thursday either, I had some ice cream.. which I just don't understand!! I don't even LIKE ice cream 99.9% of the time! I'll cross my "skinny" fingers for your weigh in tomorrow

Aimee,
That is what I have been craving. I was at home today, had some contractors working on pouring a patio. I was just dying for ice cream, instead ate about 3 SF fudgicles.

Patty usually you find the summer squash in the fall. Odd name for it's season. But you can always ask your produce person if they will have or can get any now.
