Sounds like we're all doing pretty well with this thing. Today was Day 3 for me, and so far it's not too bad. I'm so used to Phase 2, tho, that I keep forgetting we're not allowed to have certain things! (Like the dried cranberries on my salad today!!)

That's a great idea Mamcita.....Perhaps we should all do the same. Look for my updates on my original post. I just wanted to keep this one going because it's really helping me stay op.
I started in January 2004.
height: 5' 0"
age: over 40 Not because I'm old, but because my metabolism is slowing down.
top weight: 197
highest size: tight 16
current weight: 155-158 (yeah! it moved down finally!)
total inches lost: 32.25
inches lost in the last month: 3.5
current size: 10-12
exercise: well, when I can stop making excuses and just do it, I do pilates for dummies a couple times a week, walk 1-2 miles a day because I take the bus to work and have to walk from the bus stop to my building, situps and pushups when I stop making excuses, so that's usually a couple times a week, usaually not the same week, if I do the pilates, I don't do the other, I'm basically fighting my lazy gene. I know I should exercise more consistantly but....
Then I've add physical activity to everything. Park at the farthest end of the parking lot, carry all my groceries out to the car-weight bearing exercises, take the stairs several times a day. I can go all the way up to 12th the floor now. Not every day, usually just basement to 4th. Which isn't bad.
Hi everyone. I'm new to this board but actually started S Beach in February. I lost about 20 lbs. and got off track. I am committing anew today to the plan and will succeed!!
Shequila, I'm back.
Thanks for your words of support, hon.
I'm starting afresh today. Now I'm ready for anything with Dad, and I'm not going to let it get in the way of my health.
Okay... plan for today: not completely Phase I... but working back towards it from the depths of sugar ****
Since I just started my optimism and attitude are VERY high!

Ellis, you are super cute. Such an inspiration, especially to me who is incredibly whiny this a.m. I am going to go to the gym tonight. (My one and only night off this week.)
I had a delicious breakfast: egg whites, tomatoes and basil. Yum.
AM Snack: I finally made herbed mayo and have turkey, and am going to make a turkey roll.
Lunch: Unsure, perhaps something Mexican themed.
PM Snack: Hot chocolate from the recipe in the forum. Sometimes, it is the only way that I stay sane.
Dinner: Prolly salad, cuz I have a lot.
Ladies, you guys are the best! Nothing like seeing everyone else enthused to bring on a little determination! ;-)
I started SB last Tuesday. I fell off the wagon big time on Saturday, and then again yesterday and today by eating sugar free peanut butter cups from my archenemy Russel Stover. Tonight I have to meet a friend for drinks, so I might as well have some whiskey, and start over again tomorrow on Phase 1.
My start weight is 174. I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks, but I wil tomorrow at the gym. I'm 5'4. My goal weight is 135. Yep, 40lbs.
I started SB on 8/21. First weigh in was 8/27. Down 7 lbs. Party! I am so jazzed. I love South Beach. I have not cheated, not even one time. I know I have a long way to go, however, I know I can do this. WE CAN ALL DO THIS!!
SW 262/CW255/GW175. 5'9" tall. Don't know my measurements, but rest assured, they are too much.
Well I did it. I started the SBD today. I wanted to start it Monday but had a lot going on so had to postpone it for a few days. My weight has fluctuated for about 7 years. That is when I had my son. I went from 125-130 to about 179lbs when I had him. When he was about 3 I got on the diet pills Adipex and lost about 17lbs in 2 1/2 weeks and went from a size 16 to a size 8. My weight would always be between 155-165lbs throughout that time. I had a daughter in 2003. I was wearing a size 16-18 and weighed over 190lbs. Well I got fed up, I was tired of being big so I decided since the pills worked once surely they would work again. I got on Phentermine which is the generic of Adipex and it is cheaper. I started the pills in June. When I started my measurements were:
Bust: 40in
Waist: 37 1/2
Thighs:45 1/2
(These were taken on 7/16)
I was weighed last week at the doctor's office and my weight was 173. I was so happy. Well I knew I had lost inches because my size 16's were fitting really lose and I didnt' have a tape measurer to check yet. So yesterday I was at the store trying on some clothes and I got a size 16,14,12 to try on. I got the 12's just for the heck of it. I FIT INTO THEM!!!!!!! I was soooo happy. That gave me extra motivation to start the SBD today. So here I am:
My big problem is I usually only eat once a day. I don't eat a lot of junk or sweets and I really don't drink much pop. I figured if I could plan my meals out every week then it would be easier for me to stick to it. Now I just need to be toning it up as I go along. There's my story. I hope to get to know you all better and lets lose weight together
Starting SB also
Not because I'm old, but because my metabolism is slowing down. 
I'm in
today to the plan and will succeed!!
Where the heck IS everyone!? Pull yourselves together and let's lose some freakin' FAT!!!
