    I'm thinking about starting the SBD - a little daunted by phase 1, but I think I can stick to it, it's only 2 weeks until phase 2, right?

    Also, I found Kayln's kitchen the other day, as someone posted on another MFP thread - it's awesome!

    I've been considering jumping back into Phase 1 for the next 2 weeks. I had great success with it 2 years ago, but you know...lazy me fell off the wagon and fell back into old bad habits. SO...starting over. Again. :)

    Hi everyone :0),
    I started the SB today. I am really lacking in motivation especally to exercize. I just need some people on here to encourage me in the diet so I dont mess it up. I need to lose a good 50 pounds by next june and am having a hard time with motivation. I work an hour away which makes it hard to excersize. I just want to go home when im done with work. I leave at 745 am and dont get home until 8:30 pm if i go to jazzercise. I love it but am having a tough time. Please any help or encouragment would be great. Im getting married in June and dont want to look like the michelon man walking down the isle! lol
    Thanks!

    Hi Chrisi!

    CONGRATULATIONS on the upcoming wedding!!! You've got lots of time, you will be a beautiful bride!

    I am in the same boat with exercise motivation. But a few ideas... First, if you are going to Jazzercise sometimes, there you go, there's your workout for the day!! If you don't go, maybe you have time to go out for a 20-30 minute fast walk? If your computer is near where you can work out, or have some sort of browser access through your TV, this website has tons of free workout videos: http://www.exercisetv.tv/workout-videos/. If you have Comcast, there are workout videos on OnDemand. Simply doing crunches and pushups and light weight lifting (use cans of soup if you don't have hand weights) will help out a bunch on toning.

    As for the diet, if this is your first run with South Beach, you will find the first couple days are tough without carbs and sugar, but after about 3 days, the cravings go away. Feel free to add me as a friend, and I will keep an eye on updates added from your profile and try to help keep you motivated. GOOD LUCK!!

    Good to know there is a SBD support group here. I'm on day 7 of Phase 1 and have struggled the first week as I have sweet tooth. What | found helpful is the gelatin dessert which helps. I've lost just 2.6 lbs first week although I've been slightly having 4 servings of almond nuts (which i need to stop!) for some reason addicted to replace the doritos crunching. I attend spinning class 2-3x a week so probably this helps. My problem is getting rid of crunching.
    Anyone advice how to get over this habit?
