Hi King, welcome and happy Friday. I did the South Beach for a while but it turned me into a firm believe that when it comes to food, a little bit of this or that is okay in small portions. Of course not everyday, maybe once a week, that way you are not depriving yourself of something you love and go crazy because you can't have it. I have a cheat day picked out, usually Saturdays and think all week about what I am going to cheat with; chocolate, pizza, etc.

What I found to work well for me is eating every three hours. It keeps your metabolism up and I like eating so it hasn't been painful like other diets I've tried.

I wish you luck and hope that we can chat more.

Welcome! I am following weight watchers and I love it. You will find so many different ways to lose weight, but you just need to find what works for you. If south beach worked before, go back at it 100%! No matter what you do, keep positive and we're only a click away

Thanks for all the kind words you are all so nice. I think this place will be a big help! And to ArtChickaDee...i think the strictness just might be a help. lol. Otherwise i'll get too comfy lol...HOWEVER, i am sooooo gonna have a cheat day! lol. that's a great idea and it goes in with the philosophy of the creator of the body for life diet. We can chat all ya want...just keep in touch....l

Oh and To mandyLyn...
I did WieghtWatchers and lost around 25 lbs. It was easy and practical, but the costs got me in the end. I still fully plan to use some of their tips though, their snacks are so quick and easy and GOOD too. Love those frozen graham cracker and whipped cream things....YUM
