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?

I'm staying OP this week by making planning time, planning food, planning exercise....well ya'll get the picture. As I was scanning through all the booths at the Sheepdog Finals trying to find a healthy choice, I had time to think while standing in the long lines;

If I want to be healthy AND lose weight, I need to do the daily tasks which I have learned will make me successful. Healthy (SBD) approved foods in appropriate quantity combined with regular exercise are my keys to reaching my goals.

P1-Day 7

B-Greek Yogurt with 1/2-1tbsp peanut butter
S-Cheesestring
L-Sausage, Peppers and Cannellini Bean Stew with Parmesan
D-Roasted Chicken with Peri Peri Sauce, Roasted Red & Yellow Pepper and Salad
S-Pistachios, Herbal Tea

I should note that yesterday I cheated. I went to a baby shower and there was nothing that was SBD friendly, even the meatballs had sugar in the dressing, as well as the salad. So I had meatballs and salad for lunch and rationalized that since I had sugar I could have a cupcake. It was all too sweet tasting, including the meatballs and made me nauseous. I decided to not start over p1 again since I can't handle it. Good choice because today I'm back on track with no cravings and last night at dinner I was able to avoid giving into temptation and having some bread with my stew.
