Batmomm (and anyone else that wants in) - Alright, the water challenge is ON. I'm gonna get my 64oz a day - already met goal today. NOW I realize while people ran to the restroom all the time!

Familyof5 - I hate bookstores. Because I love them so much :D

I've decided I've lost weight. If I haven't it's "water retention." (the things i do for my sanity!)

Water - I've had 34 oz so far - 30 more to go?!? Ack! I did Yoga today - that was good. I'm on Day 8 of P1, and FINALLY feeling the blahs. I could barely keep up in class!

I had 40oz of water so far but I'll stay up late tonight to make sure I finish! You go Peppermint!

hey girls, if you like spicy foods I made awesome enchilada-like dinner. I posted it in the recipe section. It was really good.:chef:

Newbie jumping in here. I started SB on the 16th but just now found this forum. WOO HOO I'm not alone anymore!

welcome Dee!!

it looks like we both have about the same to go. Also looks like phase 1 has been treating you kindly, congrats!!

Thanks for the welcome batmomm and
Happy Birtdhay to you!

So - I have a question for you guys - are you going to go into Phase II now or are you going to sticke with Phase I for a little longer?
I am going to try to eat as much on Phase I as I can for the next 2 weeks, but I am not going to be as strict -meaning I might add in some whole grains or fruit if I get bored.

Some of us do Phase 1.5... It's what we call it when you are introducing only a few phase 2 foods back in ...and doing it slowly.. so, that's the part of the beach I'm moving to.

well we -cut loose for my bday a bit, not wild but some "extras" so we've been kinda 1.5 also. I have had a small serving of brown rice just b/c it was leftovers

This morning was weigh in. I lost another 2.8 pounds for a total of 11.2 pounds on phase one.
Moving to the 1.5 beach this morning!

Had a weigh in this morning - I've lost 1 pound and no inches on P1. Poop. I'm hoping that I've gained muscle from my yoga and pilates and that's why I'm not noticing anything. I also started tracking my meals, etc on fitday.com. I'm only averaging about 1000-1100 calories per day. Do you think that could be why? I need to eat MORE to lose? I'm not hungry, though!
I'm really sticking to the diet as much as possible. No Sugars have touched these lips! Lots of veggies have! Lean meats, Fat free cheeses. Ugh.

Since most of us are on phase 1.5, I was curious as to what foods everyone is introducing back into their diet? I have been eating a piece of fruit each day and have been doing okay with it. I am just curious to see what has been introduced back and if anyone tried something that ended up bringing on cravings and thus they found they shouldn't eat that food.

Well this has been my first week on phase 2 and so far I've really just introduced SB cereal bars into my diet... since they are so easy! Also made some lentil soup since I hadn't eaten many beans aside from hummus... going to lunch today and was thinking I might allow myself a whole wheat bun... a little nervous though...

I added in some fruit to my cottage cheese and I at one whole wheat roll yesterday at lunch. The weight is moving any farther down - but my cravings haven't come back either. I am anxious to see what happens at the end of the week.
