Hi All!
I started the south beach diet sometime in late August. As of today, December 29, I have lost approximately 29 lbs. Here's the great thing -- I've technically been off the diet since October! Most of the weight came off in those first 2 months, then the holidays rolled around, and I'd fallen off the band wagon seriously. Since then, I'm pretty much off, and the only thing I haven't added back to my diet is soda, and I'm still keeping the weight off and losing more! I love the south beach diet! I think its also partially that I am more aware of what I eat, even if I'm not following the diet per se. I don't eat much white flour items (white sugar is another thing!) and drink more water.
Just wanted to update you guys! I plan to get back on the bandwagon for the new year :) |

| Congrats! I also have found that even when you are not "on" the diet it can work and if you start to gain it is forgiving since you can buckle down and do Phase I again to get on track. Sugar is my downfall too!! |

I am VERY impressed!! I just need to lose 11...and losing has been like pulling teeth, so I'm very hopeful that SB diet will do the job. Starting. Jan. 2.
