Hey all the last two days were a success....and I had my first weigh in!!!!
I am so proud of myself, and I thank all of you. I think that I would have cheated to my hearts content if I didn't have somewhere to come to that kept me honest!
So the last 2 days meals were simple....I'll give you all a quick rundown.... 
Monday~
BLUNCH (Breakfast/Lunch)
1/3 lg italian grinder; 1/3 lg turkey grinder 6 oz. Pepsi, banana, and a kudo bar. TOTAL-->15 points (not bad considering it was two meals in one...technically 3)
SNACKS:
2 pc light italian toast with 2 tsp margarine and a single serving of orange jello. TOTAL --> 3 points
DAILY TOTAL--> 18 points (fell asleep early again)
Tuesday~
BREAKFAST:
2 pc light italian toast with 1 tbsp Plum preserves. TOTAL --> 2 points
LUNCH:
Hunan Beef and Broccoli (Lean Cuisine) ; banana, and a kudos bar. TOTAL--> 9 points
DINNER:
11/2 pc. Slammin' Eggplant Lasagne (and I hate eggplant but this stuff tasted like stuffed peppers; I'll have to share the recipe so you can see what I mean) TOTAL--> 4.5 points
SNACKS:
1/2 bottle of SOBE Nirvana(Mango-Melon) and a kudos bar. TOTAL --> 4.5 points
DAILY TOTAL--> 20 points....I couldn't help it I just wasn't hungry any more.
So my total loss for week one was 7.5 lbs....can you say I am excited. Only 181.5 to goal.....heheh

Synn - your weight loss is tremendous. You must feel so good! A terrific start. I noticed you're eating less points too - you're probably just getting used to having less. I hope you'll continue to check in. It's so inspirational to hear your story. It's so nice to have people to check in with. You're eating lots of great foods too - I'm getting new ideas.
Here's my day:
breakfast - shredded wheat w/peaches and 1/2 cup milk (300)
snack - large apple (150)
lunch - one large tomato, wax beans and plum (200)
snack - seltzer, sugarless gum
dinner - beef stew - hardy helping - lots of veggies and some beef - pretty healthy probably about 600-800 cals and a tofuti bar (I love these and they're only 30 cals).
Total - about 1500 - a good day
I didn't manage to fit in the exercise so I'm really going to think about where I might fit that in. I just feel so pulled in so many directions - work, school, family, but I know I have to think it is for my health so I just have to find a place for it.

Hi -
Seems like everyone is busy with life. Do you think we need to start a new check-in site to attract new people. Anyways - good day today.
breakfast - egg/toast (160)
lunch - tomato, almonds, apple 400
dinner - beef stew/smoothie - probably just short of 1,000
total around 1500 - probably too high for dinner, but healthy ingredients and the dinner was early
exercise - missed another day - I'm having trouble working this in.

I like the idea behind this thread! Today had been a wash for me as I am on the run and eating crap and won't have time to fit in my normal workout. But I'll be back tomorrow to post.
Have a great Friday!

Hi all - glad to have some more people to check in with. Great ideas for healthy meals, food. Synn - you're doing great! I'm inspired. Friday I did great - kept within the 1500 cals I'm allowing myself each day. Today was a bit harder as it was a different kind of day. I did the swim portion of a triathlon - great race, great swim. I plan to enter more contests like this because they really motivate my workouts. I'm going to try to train for a Thanksgiving week race - not to win, but to exercise!
breakfast - half bagel/pb, power snacks (unecessary I wasn't hungry, but curious about the snacks which didn't really taste good) 475
lunch - cookout - cheeseburger, macaroni and cheese, salad (no dressing) too many calories but I did skip the wine, beer, ice cream cones, cookies, turnovers, cheese/crackers and salsa and chips.
dinner - Indian dish - really healthy, good portion
exercise swim/bike about 30 mins total

Sorry I have been absent, but the last week has just been crazy! I covered for a co-worker last week, so as you can imagine, the south beach diet went right out the window cuz it was grab what you can when you can. A quick sandwich, a bagel, whatever. Calorie wise, i tried to watch it as best I could, but now I am back to my regular job & schedule, so this week will be much better. I didn't stop the work outs though. 1.5 hours, 3 times a week. I am going to dread when it gets too cold to swim in the morning.
I am glad to see you all are hanging in there & doing such a great job sticking to your plans. I will post again later, got to get some work done!

Glad to hear from you Hblank - I was hoping we didn't lose you. Isn't it amazing how changes in the routine can really do a job on your diet and health! Glad to hear you're back on schedule. Your workouts are amazing! That's been my weak area in the past two weeks since school started, but I finally managed to get in a good workout tonight - about 45 minutes on the eliptical/tread mill.
breakfast today - almonds (rushing! - really filling/healthy fast food) 170, plum 40
lunch - seafood stew (200), carrots (30). plum (40)
dinner - pork, sweet potato, homemade applesauce (no butter, sugar), peas, plum
I estimated the dinner to be 1,000 or less so I'm at my goal of about 1500 cals.
Good luck all!! We can do it!

Hello ladies....sorry i have been MIA for the last few days... can you forgive me 
So the last few days wer a smashing success and I had my second weigh in today. Funny thing though, this week I found out I could have up to 35 points, and I also found out my scale was off just a bit...by 3-5 lbs actually, so all my weights were different. 
To be honest I have not kept a great food journal in the last 3 days, I just know I have been under daily allowance (if you add the flex points too, I am ahead of myself)
Today I splurged a bit as it was date day...the only time my BF and I actually do anything. We went to Dave & Busters though so I got in some exercise there...playing b-ball with him, and walking around our enormous mall...Finally got my pedometer and I walked a total of 5794 steps today....not quite my 10,000 goal, but alas at least I am moving.
I also won The Firm workout set with the bar and the steps on eBay so I am looking forward to that!
But alas, everyone just keeps kickin butt and we are all going to make it to our goals before we know it!!!

Hi Synn - You are really doing great! You're down about 10 lbs that's awesome. I like hearing your stories of success. I find the more I get used to what I can eat on my 1500 cals a day - the easier it is to do it w/o couting. One snack that I've been having often is 1/4 cup almonds - very filling and good for you. Easy to pack and they are about 170 cals. I've got to run to work - have a great day!
exercise am - 30 min. swim
today's diet plan - breakfast egg/toast
lunch - turkey roll up (no bread) with carrots
dinner - salad of some sort
sw210 8/9 (or so)
