:D Hi all,
I am Angie, from Pennsylvania. I am a full-time Supervisor, part-time student completing my BA degree, and a full-time mom of 4 kids, 1 dog (and soon to be 2), cat, fish, & turtles. LOL All of this keeps me busy and as everyone surely knows, takes a lot of my time away from me.
Earlier this month I visited the doctor in hopes to discuss taking the Alli Diet. She pursaded me that it was not a good idea at all and asked me to give South Beach a try for at least 2 months and then come back to see her, as I have approx. 75 pounds to lose in total. I started South Beach March 31st and have stuck to the diet since I started. I am happy to say that I am down 16 pounds. SUPER HAPPY :P I also headed up a Biggest Loser Challenge at work, so this has helped me continue to stay motivated. It has been nice. I can honestly say that the first week was extremely hard, I was tired, hungry, and miserable. The second week I felt much better. I wasnt as tired, still had cravings, but they were minimal and I honestly felt much better. Now I do not have any cravings.
I have began the 4th week and I am still having difficulty adding in carbs. I was eating oatmeal with banana for breakfast and then sticking to the normal protein/veggie part for the rest of it, but I got sick of oatmeal after the 1st week of adding back. This week I am eating all the protein/veggie meals and just adding a whole wheat tortilla at lunch. I just dont want to add anything because I am not in the mood for anything. I have added a carb to only one meal so far each day. I guess next week I will have to try more.
Sorry this is so long, just wanted to share with everyone.
Take care and Ill update more later.
