Today was my first day of week 2 of Phase 1.....what a mouthful! It seems to be much easier and I also find myself less hungry too! I have lost 4-5lbs so far and am thrilled with that and hope it continues! I haven't cheated once! I did have a dream that I was eating a saltine cracker though!

Hello everybody! I'm on day 6 of Phase 1. This is my 3rd time on SBD. It's good to be back. Last time I was following SBD I lost 60 lbs. My biggest challenge is to stick with a program longer than 6 months...
I'll hit the big ~4~0 ~in September.. This is the year for me to win this life long battle. I had a friend tell me once that the deadliest combo is to be female,40, fat, and a smoker. I can't help the fact that I'm a woman, I can't help the fact I'll be 40, I quit smoking Feb. 2004, so now I just need to change my fat into fit!

So far so good...prior to restarting phase 1 my cravings were way out of control. salt-sweet-salt-sweet-salt-sweet...Nothing satisfied these cravings.
Sunday morning is my weigh day...I look forward to seeing what the scales say. My energy is definitly improved!
Have a great day!

congrats on quitting smoking! I quit 3 years ago, I've put on 50 pounds since then, but thats why I'm here :-) I didn't quit smoking just to get obese and have the health risks associated with it :-). I ate tons of sugar andbad carbs. Tomorrow will be day 3- I hope to see the scales moving soon- I will be happy no matter how small the change :-)

Damn, I can't wait to go on this diet, it's just a matter of getting some of the food, but don't have alot of cookware to cook it, so may just have to eat it without having to create a whole meal out of it, dunno if that's allowed or not..

Ahh how lovely to be in this phase on the fourth of july. My brother's birthday is this weekend and i just want cake! It has sprinkles on it=(
I kept saying maybe if I just have ONE bite...but I want to get through the next week and be able to say I did not cheat. I am very sick of phase I...but I really want to see the scale move.

I weighed myself today but it was after I ate a huge supper, so it is no wonder it really didnt go down. It is hovering around 120 for like 2 weeks.
I would love to at least lose a litttttle bit on phase 1...I need some motivation !

Talking

Today was tough for me too. We were at a town picnic all day. Funnel cakes, cotton candy, kettle corn. ARGH! Thankfully, I packed SB-friendly snacks with us. So while I wished I could have a bite of all of the above, I didn't.

And I'm happy to say that my energy levels are way up! I outlasted my 4yo at tag today. Talk about an accomplishment.

Whew! I hope you all survived the 4th on Phase I! If you were pure, congratulations. If you slipped, give yourself a hug and carry on.

Yeah that was tough- dh decided we should go out to eat, so we went to the golden corral buffet. The only thing I felt comfy getting was a salad with almonds,veggies and fat free ranch. Didn't think the cheese was low fat so skipped it. They did have some cold chicken breast that I put on the top. Dh peeled the skins off the shrimp for me(awwww-what a sweetie) . I wanted those rolls so bad LOL but I didn't- it wasn't worth it to me. I'm already 3 days in :-D

I made it through the holiday without indulging. I made SBD Belgian Waffles for Breakfast, had chicken salad with reduced fat mayo and almonds for lunch, egg crepes stuffed with ricotta for supper, and I had NSA popsicles for dessert. I am on day 5 of phase 1. Only 9 days left!!!

Started back on the Beach this past Tuesday. So far, so good. I did well on my favorite holiday of the year. I stayed totally legal despite all the temptations trying to call my name. I can say I went to bed with a smile on my face knowing that I was in control of what I consumed.

I will start week 2 soon and will prepare my menus and shopping list tonight. Pre-planning is the only thing that works for me. Even if there are changes along the way, having an idea ahead of time reduces the risk of me straying.

Right now I'm preparing dinner. We're having taco salad with all the legal fixing's. Yummmm. For dessert we'll have Almond Ricotta Creme.

Good luck to all of you for the new week!
