I just thought this might be a little extra motivation....Feel free to join in

I watched my hubby eat a double cheeseburger, fries and a coke, and a fried apple pie and didnt touch any of it, I stuck to the South Beach Diet and have been on track 10 full days now What did you do?

Good thread, Christie!

I got out of bed and came to work, in spite of the fact that I'm still a little bit sick (but not sick enough to stay home). I had a healthy, quick breakfast from home instead of getting some "comfort food" on the road as a 'treat' for going in to work when feeling less than 100% perfectly well.

Not weight-related: In a tactful manner, I sent an email to a friend and told him exactly what he was saying that bothered me and why. He appreciated my honesty and addressed each of my concerns.

I worked out early in the day instead of saving it for tonite and dreading it.

Thats what I am talking about....diet related or not it feels good to just put it out there

I went grocery shopping and only bought myself South Beach legal foods

I went to the school to eat with my mentee and they had turkey, dressing, potatoes, apple crisp, and wheat rolls and I didnt touch any of it...I had my grilled chicken salad and feel really proud

Good job, Christie! I would have found that to be a difficult challenge.

I stuck to my cheese sandwich and roasted veggies for lunch.

I went to Temple Services with my DH and they always have a lot of food there afterwards. I had some Perrier with lemon (I had never had this before - it was good) and some slices of pear. NO COOKIES or COFFEE CAKE!! I exercised for 45 minutes at lunch - my favorite - the eliptical. Have a great weekend everyone!

You rock Lynn Way to go!!!


I am proud that I am on my 14th day of phase one and have accomplished the goal I had set for myself ( finally) this month...I watched them eat every kind of food that I love and did not give in to any ice cream chips or donuts with my family...I am proud to be me today

My father took me out to lunch at Applebee's and I ordered from the WW menu - steak and shrimp skewers at 370 cal and 7 grams of fiber.

PLUS, he asked me twice if i wanted chips and salsa, and I said no. (even though inside i was saying, yes, yes, yes).

Great going Star!!!! Its the victories like that one that are gonna get you to goal

THanks Christie - you are so kind!

Today was a milestone for me...I put on a pair of size 10 Levis .....THEY FIT AGAIN!!!!!!! I have not wore these jeans since I took diet pills about 8 years ago...oh and as soon as I quit them I gained my weight back, so it feels good just to be able to say that I did it not pills and they fit!!!!

WOW!! That's so GREAT! What an accomplishment. You should be so proud.

As for me, I was proud that I jog/walked for 50 minutes on Monday -(I was trying to take off the extra pound I gained over the weekend--I got off 0.5# of it). We are starting a new game at our TOPs. It's called "Holiday Bells" and you can earn a large jingle bell if you lose or stay the same, and small jingle bells for keeping a food journal, exercising and contacting a TOPs friend. So...I earned 3 small bells - hopefully I'll get a big bell next week. We are stringing our bells to make holiday ornaments.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I gained a little over the holiday but am back on my plan and have made it through the second day with flying colors
