I just thought I'd start a post for all the P1 people who were going to be starting today! (I started last week, but I'm adding another week due to my decision to have cake yesterday!) I know Jenn (Butterfly kisses) was starting a new 2 weeks today and I saw some others posting as well.
So how are you doing? What are you eating today?
B'fast - mushroom, onion, canadian bacon scramble w/ V8
Snack - laughing cow light and raw broccoli
Lunch - Grilled Chicken Salad w/ CarbWell Light dressing
Snack - Natural PB w/ a slice of low fat cheddar
Dinner - Roasted Turkey Breast and Steamed Asparagus
Dessert - SF Jello or SF Fudgesicle
PLUS - about 80 oz of water
Last week on Phase one was great! I really didn't have cravings - if anything stress made me want to have the food, but my body didn't really. I handled eating out and watching my DD eat a big gooey brownie. I did have SF wheat buns w/ hamburger and a slice of Choco. Cake yesterday to celebrate DD's b'day while my parents were in town. But today I'm ready to go 14 days on SBD with NO cheats!!!!!!!! (Even though DD's REAL b'day is next week - She gets to order her favorite dessert when we go out to dinner, I'm not getting another cake.)
I'm here with ya! Restarting today. After my big fat cheat, I'm totally back OP!
Breakfast today was 2 scrambled eggs and two pieces of turkey bacon
Snack -laughing cow cheese and broccoli
Lunch - ceasar salad with dressing
snack - motzarella stick
dinner - haven't decided yet, but probably grilled chicken and steamed veggies with lemon (mmmmm yummy!)
dessert - probably a SF fudgesicle.
I am starting today also. I am 54 and need to get this weight off! I am really psyched that SBD is the way for me even though I know as you get older, it is harder to shake the weight loose.
B- scrambled eggs with mushrooms, canadian bacon
S - string cheese, almonds
L - baked fish, broccoli
S - turkey roll ups, carrots
D - Taco Bake on lettuce bed
S - SF fudgesicle
Count me in! I started on South Beach Saturday for real.. No cheats all weekend, but boy was I a grump! I'm sure it's the detox from sugar. I'm 45 and have 30 lbs to lose, blood pressure to drop and cholesterol to lower. Nothing else has helped so its either lose or go to the heavy duty drugs....
Here's What I have to eat today.....
B: Spinach Frittata and coffee
S: reduced fat cheese block (1 ounce)
L: Cobb salad, no croutons, grilled chicken and ranch dressing.
S: Laughing cow with snow peas
D: Grilled steak and Caprise salad (tomatoes, mozzerella cheese and vinarette)
Dessert is sf jello or a fudgecicle. I need to pick some of those up!
Can we have carrots on Phase 1: I saw it in one book, but not in the other.
OK I'm back on the Phase-1 wagon today! So far all I have eaten is 2 boiled eggs. I took a lil nap. I don't seem to get much rest when I am at Mom's for the w-end. Not sure what the rest of my day will hold...probably tuna stuffed eggs for lunch. Glad to see the newbies joinin us! Welcome aboard chickies. Be sure and post with us in the daily so we can get to know ya.
Amyepfaff..Check out the F & Q section for the updated phase 1 & 2 food lists. Lot's of new things in there that are not in the book.
WOW! So glad to see you all - newbies and some of the regulars!! I've only been here a week - but so far I LOVE IT!
I thought carrots were a NO in Phase 1 (High sugars.) However - I drink the V8 and it has carrots, but the whole can is only 30 calories.
I'm baking my Turkey Roast today to have for the week and DH will grill up the fajita steak for the week as well. My meals changed a bit - we are doing the fajitas tonight, and saving the roast for snacks and fast meals.
Tuna stuffed eggs sound great too! I'm going to have to venture to the recipe section this week. By the end of last week I had my snacks so I didn't have to plan them - I had all the food in the fridge. But if we don't plan dinners, we are in trouble! Today I've planned my whole day just so I can stay on track!
JakeBabe - Please don't take the attitude that this will be difficult. I am presently 53 (just about 54) and when I started this WOE last year, the weight came off very quickly. It took me just under 6 months to lose 40 pounds. You will do this and it will work for you, regardless of your age.
b: coffee. 2 T cashew butter
lunch: ham, cheese
snack: ranch dip, celery
dinner: gr turket br, black beans, enchilada sauce. Salad
dessert: jello and cool whip
I am really bad at planning. Also, I am a teacher, I am have no time to eat snacks in the mornings. I don't think its right to eat in front of my kids.
This post is great, lets keep giving everyone menu ideas and weight updates!
I will be realistically starting Phase I over on Thursday. Thanks for the advice on the age, that is really encouraging I will be 51 this week, surgically menopausal and this weight seems to want to stay around.
Thanks this is the most supportive, fun board on the web.
I started back on SBD yesterday.... I actually like phase 1.. but I do a moderated version due to still breastfeeding. But I typically feel great on it..
I am going to be going back to Phase 1 on Thursday, so I'm gonna join ya'll... soon! I gotta do a huge grocery shop, and get away from my rotten work environment (Thursday is my last day I believe, I put my quit day on the 27th, but they don't post the schedule). Yay, I'm excited.. it's nice to have people around when you want to go grab a bag of sugar and eat it all.. err... BAD!
Yea - I thought about that, and when I started the thread I sat there forever trying to figure something out (so thus Ijust labeled it plainly!) I thought about April.... something! Spring......something!
Anyway - we don't have to keep up on this thread, I just wanted to see all who were starting. If anyone can think of a name - then great!!!
I am starting today, April 19th. I have lost well on Atkins and have been on WW since October 1, 04. I decided to fo on their Core plan vs. counting points and a lot of people said it was similiar to this one. So I got the book and read it. Ok, most of it.
I just know from the past that carbs are not my friend. (How I wish they were!!)
I will be trying very hard at this and I'm sure I'll be visiting these forums frequently. It'll be wonderful getting to know you all!
Phase 1 - 4/18 Starters
