ETA:

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

This is my birthday week. If I can stay on-plan now, I can totally do this again!

Week one (and 1.5lbs) down! A little underwhelmed by the scale, but at least it moved in the right direction. Now, for week 2, I'm adding... The dreaded exercise!

I freakin' hate exercise. All of it. But I've entered this weight loss competition, and it's gonna keep me accountable. Or kill me, either way.

Anyways...

S: string cheese
L: turkey meatballs and spaghetti squash
S: tomatoes and hummus
D: taco salad
D: chai latte

Exercise...
Walked 1 mi in the AM (got off a few subway stops early)
Abs class during lunch
2 miles in the PM (jogged 1.3, walked the rest)

And I'm beat...

Phs2

B. Oatmeal, ground flax and almond milk
L. Veggie soup, lf cheese and turkey pepperoni stick
S. Yougort and an apple
S. Grilled halibut, roasted cabbage and broccoli
S. 3 triscuits

Weight is up slightly after thanksgiving splurge
Lots of water and hopefully a long walk

Wow, Sophie, how do you stop at 3 triscuits?!?!

B: mexican casserole. Not what I planned, but what I had that was fast! (an example of thinkin' outside of the box!)
S: yogurt

Hopefully a long walk
