Hi!
Today is the beginning of a new me!! I need to lose 40 pounds. My son is getting married next May, and also, after being divorced a few years, I recently met a nice man! I want to look and feel good for ME and for a long healthy life with my family!!
Would anyone mind giving me an example of what they have for a day during Phase !. I ordered a used book from Amazon but it hasn't come in yet.
I really appreciate it!! |

You have your foods down! LOL!!
I think I did great today and I'm not even hungry! Weighed myself this morning and looking forward to seeing that scale go down more and more!! LOL
I went to a store today and bought an exercise tape. I did a lot of exercise today just by going up and down stairs to do laundry, washing 10 windows inside and out!! Whew!
Glad I had a pic taken with my kids on Mothers Day so that I'll have something to look back on and see how big I WAS!!! |

Hi DM--
Sounds like you have great things going on in your life! How exciting!
You might try this link: http://www.mizfrogspad.com/south_beach_diet.htm. This is a link to a website with lots of info about SBD including some grocery lists for each phase. It's helped me.
Pictures are really motivating in many ways. I have recently gone through some old photos of myself (when I was much smaller) and that actually encouraged me. I'm NOT an obese person...I've just eaten too much the last few years. I CAN be a normal sized person.
Good luck! Hope to see lots of posts from you!

Doreen,
It's great that you've lost 5 lbs! :) Just remember, try not to be a slave to the scale. Did you take your measurments before you started SBD? Measurements are a more accurate way of seeing progress.
There will be days...sometimes weeks when the scale won't move :( Don't get discouraged. This is a healthy eating plan for life!!! :)
Take care 8) |

I'm using the "how my clothes are fitting" method LOL. Since I started walking I feel so much better and it's helping where I had cervical spine surgery and a plate put in. I interviewed for a job today and they said they only have a part time opening, but it's a start since I haven't worked in nearly 3 years. I'll know Friday if I got the job and would start Monday and he said that with my knowledge I would start off making more money instead of minimum, plus, it's walking distance!! What better way to get some extra exercise in!!!!
My family is being very supportive of my diet. That helps a lot!!

Friday I find out if I got the job!! My mother and I took a walk and timed it. Only 10 minutes to walk to work if I get it. I also noticed a sign for help at a new Verizon Wireless which would be 2 minutes less LOL So at least I have a back up place to go try. It would be easier if I had a car though so I could apply more places :(
Email me and let me know how you're doing!! It's supposed to rain here tonite, yuk!! Cloudy most of Friday. Still sticking to the diet!!!
Later Kiddo!!
Oh, I may be switching to peoplepc. |
