Welcome Jade Rain

I started tooo
 

Hi - I started SBD today, May 23rd. I'm tired and feel like I didnt get to eat enough - maybe I did something wrong???? How much Diet Coke can I drink while on the diet? How about Fat Free Milk?

Morning chicks. Today is tuesday May 24th I am jumping back on the wagon today. Not sure what happened to my Monday but I am here now and thats what counts. Time to start treating this body better again. I really like the WOE I can't understand why I keep falling off the wagon. Maybe I need to stop thinking about it as a diet maybe that way I will stay on plan. In Ty's words " WE CAN DO ITTTTTTT". :)

JBhair, welcome to the Beach. You may feel a little tired as you detox. Have you checked out the revised Phase I Food List and the Emergency Handbook? Lots of hints there.
Milk is definitely allowed on Phase I. I'd limit the Diet Coke and stick to caffeine free a it can slow your weightloss, the coke that is! Keep on with it and ask questions. this Forum is all about support.

Happy Tuesday chicks, hope everyone had an OP day yesterday. Woke up this morning with a 3.8 lb loss, I don't care if it's water at least its not on me, lol Hope you ladies are having a good morning so far

:lol: JennJenn!!!

Hi All - hope phase 1 is progressing well for you. Yesterday I had the priveledge of watching DH drink wine and today eat chocolate. mmmmm......

Yesterday went mostly OK for me, but I had to remind myself that I was going to stick to Ph.1. Today was better but I overdid the peanuts. I had 2 eggs w/spinach for b-fast, a slice of ham/cheese w/green beans and V-8 for lunch, and feta w/green beans and peanuts for dinner. I had more than 30 peanuts, though. OOPS. I also got in a 45 min. walk after dinner, and had a glass of milk to round out the evening.

Today I went to the market and got some fresh fixins for a few days worth of salad, and I think I'll make a yogurt onion dip for the extra veggies.

I didn't have any snacks today, but for you newbies, be sure to plan your two a day.

I made it through the day. I have a slight headache so I am off to bed. I took my family out for ice cream and I did not have any. YIPEEEEEE for me.

Hi All ... I'm afraid I never made the start on Monday as planned but I am getting ready to start tomorrow . I went shopping and bought all the staples for phase 1 .
I bought some LF turkey pepperoni , pistachios , veggies and hummas .
I also bought some chickpeas and curry for lunch .

Is anyone taking metamucil ?

Did anyone need to cut down on exercise at first , because of being tired and headaches ?

Can I join?
 

Hi All, I'm new to SBD and the Boards... Can I join your group? Today is my first day, and I'm ready!!!!

One more time
 

Just checking in, I hope I haven't duplicated this message but if I have...sorry! I am trying to get replies correctly nested.

Day 3 and so far so good. I did have a headache on Monday evening which I never experienced during my first Phase I. Oh well, nothing that a little aspirin couldn't take care of. I am getting my exercise in but getting up so early has been a little rough but afterwards I feel great.

I am already starting to think about Phase II and my reintroduction plan for the Phase II allowable foods. I know I am supposed to slowly add them, which I didn't do last time. Anybody have any good tips or suggestions?

Sure! I am not that active on the boards but I know that everyone here is very nice not to mention extremely helpful and supportive.
Welcome to the beach.

Its hump day -

Little Chick - great job resisting the ice cream with the family

summering - good job on the plannnig. Planning is key. As for the metamucil, yes many folks take it during phase 1. make sure you purchased the sugar free kind. Also, yes most people don't exercise during ph. 1, for the reasons you mentioned. They add it in after ph. 2 has been underway for a few days.

Schatzi (treasure in German, right) - welcome to the boards. You've found a great support forum at 3FC, and a great way of eating for life with SoBe. Many have found proven results and good food, too!

Nilla - as far as moving on to ph.2, most people add in one carb a day or every other day (either a fruit or whole grain), and do that for a week to check their progress. The results are different for everyone so be sure to track what you add and see how it affects your losses. There have been many threads about this very topic in the past. Sorry I can't locate them at the moment, but you could do a search of "moving on to ph. 2" or " scared of phase 2" and the like to pull up some discussions of this in the past.

Keep up the great work, everyone - its worth it!!

hey chicks, day 3 is almost over....I've been doing pretty good, I'm trying to stay away from the scale since my mood for the day depends on what it says. Anyway, had a headache Monday and Tuesday but feeling all better today, went for a 45 minute walk pushing the little one in her stroller, also did 30 minutes of strength with dumbells.........hope you all are having a great day!
