    Saturday!!

    Football game: we won, 42-0. Game actually called in 3rd quarter by other team because they were worried about injuries (they didn't have enough players). I was on kick-off team.

    Food: too much restaurant food today.
    Congrats!

    But, you KNOW strength training burns more calories because it burns for hours after the workout!:laugh: (it is nice to get a good cardio burn in)

    Miss my regular strength training sessions...just wait until football season is over!

    Good morning everyone!

    I would like to join in on your thread if that's ok? I have 50 lbs to lose, and am currently following the South Beach diet. I'm on week 3. This is going to be a long journey for me, but m ready. I've also been taking Zumba classes at my gym (man what a workout!)

    I will update later with my food / drink / exercise stats...

    Welcome!!! Everyone is welcome to join in. Niner and I are simply the longest posting folks in this thread. It's another way to keep myself accountable for exercising and eating right.

    Good morning!

    Ok, so its been a whole month that I've been on the South Beach plan (no white flour of any kind, very limited sugars, not even fruits or alcohol, mostly just lean meats, low fat cheeses, limited nuts, veggies)...I've also been taking Zumba classes... I'm so frustrated because in the first 2 weeks this diet promises a weight loss of anywhere between 8-12 lbs. well, I've been doing well in following it, and I seem to be yo-yo'ing and now in a Month's time after all my hard work, I had another gain and I've lost a total of 1.2 lbs. I do feel better, however the point of this diet for me was to lose weight and to lower my cholesterol and triglycerides which are dangerously high...

    I'm getting so frustrated, I'm about to give up. I feel that I've given this eating plan a fair shake too. I feel that a month is a fair amount of time to let something work. I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe this is just not a feasible plan for the long term, I have no idea. All I know is im sick and tired of being overweight and unhealthy! I'm really putting in the effort this time, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm just wondering if South Beach is a sustainable plan that works, or if I should switch to something more "livable", like weight watchers or something...

    Any thoughts / advice is appreciated

    Thanks!

    Do you like the plan? If not, then chances are you won't stick to it for life. South Beach is a good plan, but some feel that their "favorites" get left out and add them in on their own.
    Shoot me your stats: height, weight and age and I'll take a look at some numbers.

    Happy Friday!!

    Cardio: Ran 3.25 miles. Hard run (part of training...push pace on the short runs). iPod rebooted during run, so an estimate, but finished in 31-32 minutes. Average pace was about 10min/mile. First mile was 8'46", which is very fast for me.

    Food: Bread...stomach is going to make me regret that later.
