Starting Phase 1 on 7 May
 

I've been doing a lot of research about SB and I think I'm finally ready to commit.
My week starts on Saturday so I'll begin then.
All the best to me :D

Hey! Welcome aboard!

Welcome, Confuzed. Funny name! :lol:

You are wise to research and prepare yourself for a successful Phase I. I am sure other folk will be joining you.

:wave: Welcome!

Welcome, Born! :wave:

Good planning to give yourself time to read, shop, clear the house of bad food, and read the FAQ on here. You can also plan your meals. :) The Recipe forum here has lots of great ideas!

May 9th...
 

I will be going on Phase I again. The kids are moving out this week, what a long time waiting for this. At any rate, I will have my kitchen to myself after this week and will be feeling more like I have some control over the foods in here and what is cooked. My dh is diabetic so no need to have any junk around at all. The real challenge for me will be the restaurant. Mostly I eat salad when there which cuts down on the need to have so many veggies at home.

I should also have more time to get on here and cheer some of you on too. Some pretty impressive losses in April for sure. :bravo:

Wishing you a fabulous Phase 1 :)

Welcome to the beach! :sunny:

Hi Bunna. I'll be restarting phase 1 on May 9th also. I'll try to be as close to P1 over the weekend as I can. I'm hitting the store today to stock up on P1 foods. I also have not been exercising and I want to start getting back to that, too.
Monday morning I have an eye exam that will keep me at the mall for a few hours. I plan to take a small cooler and stock it with water and a snack just in case I can't find a good salad there.I expect to see you here on Monday to report in, OK? :goodluck:

Rather than have a May 7 and a May 9 starting thread for Phase I, I'll combine the two as Starting May 7 to 9. Just trying to make the MODs' lives easier as we read everything in here.

I'm starting Phase 1 today! Well I tried yesterday to start.. lol.. but after a long work day.. I just didn't make it! So I'm starting today! I have to start today to be done by the Canadian long weekend, which is when my mom will be here and we will be running around town and eating out. Woo! Let's GO! :)

Patty - you around??

Hi everyone!

I'm not new to 3FC, but I'm new to SBD....I started phase 1 today, and I'm going to try to get dh to do it too. He's a mess right now with kidneystones, pains in his back, knees, you name it. We're both just sick of being in pain all the time. I know if we lose the rest of our weight, things will feel better.

I lost 50 pounds a year and a half ago, but over the past year I've just been maintaining. Now, I'm noticing my weight creeping back up and my old habits coming back. I just have to get the last 50 pounds off me!

So, here's to all of us! We can do it!! :cheer:

Bunna!!! :dance: It's SO good to see you again! :D I'm glad you are finally getting the kitchen back to yourself! Check out the sticky in the FAQ on veggies and make sure those salads are packed full of nutrition, okay? :grouphug:

Islander, I find going out to eat much easier if I plan ahead...look at the menu (many are online) and figure out what is a good choice. Then I can plan the rest of my day around it. I hope that helps! :D

Julie, I love the quote in your sig! I know you can do this! :D

Sil, sounds like you are planning ahead. Good going, girl! :goodvibes:

Starting P1 Monday, I too will clean out the fridge, pantry and PREPARE for the next 2 weeks. :)

Bunna, Guess what even as we speak my son is cleaning his dorm,(that's an oxymoran, SON Cleaning) to move back home for the summer. So here's the food plan one cabinet for his food and one shelf in the spare fridge in the garage for his sodas and stuff. Sounds good in print, now lets just put it into ACTION!!!

Glad we are all in this together !!!

Hello ladies,
Count me in. I tried to restart ph1 this past monday and didn't even make it to tuesday. To many things going on, the main thing I was not prepared with my snacks or food. Going to committ to starting on Monday.

Aimee - i'm here, it was a rough week, lots of day traveling for work, so I snacked while driving, then to top it off it's the week before TOM and my cravings were out of control.
