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 food plan!

The awesome thing about this week is that when we finish this thread it will be February!!

Hi girls! I've been super busy getting ready for vacation. We've been doing really well eating on plan but I haven't been good about coming here to report.

I'm going to do my weigh in tomorrow morning but I'm almost certain I didn't make my 10# goal but I'm closer than I would have been normally!! I think my lack of exercise was probably the stumbling block. My plan for the cruise is not to go nuts like I'll never see food again. I plan to be quite choosey and only indulge if it's something extra special or that I can't make myself. I'm also going to stay away from all alcohol except maybe red wine with dinner and get my 10,000 steps in each day!

I'll see you all on February 8th!!

Phase 1.5

Oatmeal
V8

Veggies w/ hummus
Greek yogurt

Meatballs w/ parm & marinara
Green beans
Brocolli
Glass of skim milk

Cucumber slices w/ laughing cow

Friday
B: greek yogurt with sunflower seeds/dried cherries
S: almonds
L: hot dog/salad with avocado and parmesan cheese, evoo and lemon juice
S: hummos/carrots/cucumbers
D: NSY. Want something yummy yet relatively Phase 1.5

No exercise again this morning. February will be a new month!
