Default Newbie here, day 1
Good morning! Well I am off to the races! After about 6 weeks of tracking everything I eat and losing about 8 pounds I have realized my downfall. Carbs! So here I am, starting day one of south beach. Why start on a thursday you may ask? It's two fold really! A. Why wait til monday when I am bound to just carb myself to death! B. My daughters graduation is in 2 weeks, add to that memorial weeked! This gets me through the inital 2 weeks before having to go out of town for a long weekend. Hopefully getting me over the rough times and making the food choices a little easier.

I have spent 2 days reading here and getting alot of good tips, I am ready! Here's to day one!

Welcome, Pacergal29! ~ We are in this thing together. I just started last Friday, so I'm only a few days ahead of you. And from one carb-addict to another, I can say that it has been WAY easier than I thought it would be!

Welcome to you new lifestyle. I've been doing this a year and i love it. it does get easier.

just remember that your veggies your beans and your dairy are all full of good carbs.

there's carbs and then there's bad carbs. this is not a low carb way of life... rather it's a good fats good carbs way of life.

Be prepared to feel better than you ever have before. The first couple of weeks can be a bit tough...hang in there. You will be amazed at how clear thinking and energetic you can feel in a couple of weeks. And, the loss of inches and pounds is just another major benefit.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I survived day one! I even managed to start day 2 on a positive! My son who is in college is teaching kindergarten at our local school for the rest of the year as part of his schooling. Today he is teaching about worms and I had to make "dirt cups" (choc pudding, cool whip and cookies" for him to take today and I didn't lick my fingers once! Now that is will power!
