Well, I haven't been on South Beach that long & haven't lost as much weight as a lot of others here, but I feel very successful with the plan. I've lost about 27# (7# more than my goal) since January. I am able to maintain my loss without any extra effort. I've also dropped my cholesterol by 30 points (214 down to 184) and my waist has gone down 6 inches.
I feel very fortunate to have finally discovered something that works so well for me. I tell everyone about South Beach. I've lost more weight and lost it faster than any other plan I've ever tried. I don't have constant thoughts of hunger and deprivation. I do occasionally go off plan for special occasions but promptly get back on plan and my weight is stable. Actually it's dropped a few more pounds in the last couple months without even trying. I eat 1-2 fruits and 2-3 grains per day plus generous portions of lean meats, beans and reduced fat cheeses. I eat a lot more veggies than I ever have in my life. I am cooking more homemade, unprocessed food for my family and they like the recipes that I have found here. I feel my eating is finally in balance & that's something that I have not experienced since my teen years. You can't ask for much more than that.
