First Day on SBD

[theresa925]

Good morning! My name is Theresa and I'm just starting my journey on SBD. I have done the diet before in 2003 and have since lost considerable weight doing Weight Watchers.

I am excited to get started today and am feeling confident. Looking forward to getting to know some of you on here

Hi
It's my first day too! I'm Nicole and i'm 19 and this is the first time I am doing this diet.

[theresa925]

Hi Nicole! I'm glad we can be here to help each other out! How is your day going so far? I feel really good starting out today and am going to use some time tonight after work to do more planning and meal prep.

My first day has been okay. I've been up since 4am doing uni work so I took a little nap and then the other half woke me up with food I'm a bit of a list maker so i've planned out meals before hand and am making sure it is being followed to the T. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to start it this morning but now i'm looking forward to the rest of the 2 weeks. How has your first day been?

This is my first day, too. I have done phase 1 twice before. So far my cravings are crazy today. But I haven't really been hungry. Good luck to you both!

Oooh it's always nice to have people joining on the same day as you.
I've been crazy hungry today but i've had no sleep and been up a LOT longer than I should be on a normal day

Hi there! I re-started again today too. I'm afraid to go back and figure out how long ago I was on this forum, but I'm here now. I hope some more of you out there will join us! I do need to shed some pounds, but mostly I just want to feel better. I managed to develop arthritis in my feet at a young age, and I'm thinking the sugar and processed foods make me puffy anyway - so may aggravate the foot pain. I decided to go back to SB to see if that helps. I'm going to walk a 1/2 marathon in a couple months, so I definitely want to be feeling good by then.

Best of luck to you in the first few days. I know they can be some of the hardest, but worth it!

hi there. i'm renee and tues was my DH and mine first day. so far , so good, but trying to learn all the rules and the new subs for vegetarians. I am a bit obsessive and have been spending way too much time reading online. i am also using the 'beck diet" . this is a cognitive-behavioral approach that can be used with any diet. it is a mindfulness approach to looking at your relationship to food. good luck everyone

How is everyone doing today? I am doing much better, but it would really help if the kids didn't still have candy in the cupboard I'm having some stomach pain due to the change in eating I think; it seems like I had this last time. Anyone else feeling tired?

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling pretty good today! Definitely not hungry and feeling more bloated than anything else. I've also got a slight headache, but I think that is more work-related than diet-related.

Still feeling confident and forcing myself to wait until 1 week in to step on the scale.

[ushotmedown]

I am actually enjoying this diet quite a bit. Let's hope I can say the same a couple months in
I was exhausted yesterday but woke up this morning feeling quite hyper

[hoorayfortulips]

Its day 2... doing ok on what I'm eating, but I'm THINKING about food all the time. Trying to distract myself, but not doing that very well. I feel ok - but am waiting for the day 3 headache that I got the last time. I did just go grocery shopping and managed to buy good things for myself and a few kid things for the kids. I should be able to tell myself they are FOR THE KIDS! and not partake. I'm planning to make a really delicious mushroom soup and another vat of turkey chili to have on hand (we ate all of what I made yesterday).

I'm glad to hear you all are still hanging in there too!

[hoorayfortulips]

Ugh. Day 2.5. I actually just took a nap which I never do. Luckily I could today. Slow going. Really want some fruit. Trying to stay away from the kitchen.

[hoorayfortulips]

Just trying to make it until bedtime. Maybe I'll just go now. Gah!

[theresa925]

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is doing alright today! I'm on Day 3 and am feeling really good. No feelings of the "South Beach Diet Flu" that I've been hearing and I have felt full and satisfied each day. I'm excited to see the results this brings and am glad that it hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be! What about everyone else?
