We got rained out!!! So, we stayed in all day on Saturday.0 -
I'm new to this group. I did the South Beach Diet 2 years ago and lost 30 pounds! Then I got into nursing school and gained 10-15 :grumble: So I'm on phase 1 starting today. I will probably just do it for a week since I don't have much to lose. Here are my stats:
SW: 134
CW: 132
Have a great week everyone! :drinker:

Welcome to this thread.
Thanks! Is anyone else on phase 1?0 -
Hey everybody. Well, I just got back from my mini vacation and ughh! I've gained a ton of weight. I'm hoping most of it is water but I still changed my ticker.
LL-You are looking good!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:
Marie- How are you feeling? How are them legs carrying you?
Where's Georg??
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I am currently sunburned so I will be staying indoors for a few days.

Hey! I'm here in Maui on vacation! Thanks for remembering me.:happy:
I have limited time/access to the computer. I've totally fallen off my eating wagon, but we're spending so much time scuba diving & snorkeling, it seems that I'm holding even.
I'll check back in when I can!

I want to get back into running.................I am still over 200 pounds, I don't think it will be good on my joints.............
I just started a "couch to 5k" program and i was able to handle the first week runs. I am taking a break now because of massive blisters on my feet, but at 300 lbs, my joints weren't the limiting factor. . . It was the skin on my heel :P so I think if i get better shoes, and build up some callouses on my upper heel, I will be able to handle running fine. mind you i HATE running, but this program seems to slowly ease you into running.

I use the podrunner interval mp3's in my ipod and am running the week 1 recordings. You don't HAVE to do it at the same pace they recommend. Specially if you are like me and think you may need a little extra time on week 1, or a little more rest time between runs to let your feet heal
oh and for the 4th. . . i did reward myself for sticking to my diet so well. I veered a fair bit beyond my induction carb limit, but I did not go crazy. I avoided chips, breads, even cheesecake (my favorite dessert!). I did have veggie plate, grilled chicken and sausage, 7-layer dip (lower carb except the beans. . . but I'll live), and the meat/cheese tray. The only thing i had that is a big no-no on induction (well probably atkins in general) were a few bloody marys and 2-3 lo-carb beers. it was a fun night 0 -

I startted the couch to 5k program 6 years ago and did ok, except I ended up with shin splints due to me weighing 268 on a small frame............
You are on Atkins too? I don't feel so alone now, LOL..................
I really need to go back to induction - I have gotten carried away with the fruit.0 -
Goerg....I am so jealous...what a vacation!
I haven't been doing to bad lately. I gained a lot of weight after moving but have slowly started moving back down the scales..yay!
I just started the 30 day shred..wow...I haven't felt this sore in a long time.
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.0 -
Cloverluv. Good hearing from you. I also gain weight with all these surgeries. but i haven't any excuse now. Today I have been eating Sandwiches with Sara Lee 45 per slice bread. With a no carb filling it is working real good. My blood sugar is holding steady around 100 before meals. I also have a 1/2 sandwich between meals with a low carb filling. I uess you can call this a bread diet. As long as I control it , it should work. Marie0

The bread thing is sooo hard for me. Doesn't help my husband works at the bread factory and is ALWAYS bringing home bread. Those darn carbs hehe. I started the 30 day shred and did day 3 today. Oh my goodness is it making me sore!!!
Have a wonderful peaceful day !0 -
Hi everybody, I am doing just great on my new plan. Its too hot to cook anyway. So sandwiches are working out just fine.

I'm home now & happy to report that I'm EXACTLY one pound lighter than when I left!!!!
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
I swam, hiked, went scuba diving or snorkeling every day except 6 out of 29 days...ate plenty of Roselani (local Maui) ice cream, had numerous fruity mai tais & more french fries than in the past 6 months combined! So I'm pretty pleased with myself & my results.
It truly is a lifestyle change.
Today - back to lo carbing all the way! 0 -

That is fantastic!!! It helped that you stayed busy and on the go................you were burning those calories as you took them in!!!
I have been doing Pilates and I am starting to see changes as far as toning goes. My stomach is starting to look a bit flatter too.0 -

I went out for middle eastern food for lunch today - my first time in this new restaurant. They had a buffet & I made the cute little old guy tell me what everything was.
So I filled up on meat & salad. (I did taste the pita.) 0 -

That sounds good............
I love the seasonings that Indian and Middle Eastern dishes contain. It is a flavor explosion.0 -
Tomorrow is my son's 9th birthday and I don't know if I should have some cake or not. I have been on the first phase of the South Beach diet for two weeks and this is week three. I have allowed myself one 100% whole wheat mini bagel each day for the last 3 days but that's the extent of my starchy carbs. The party is at Chuck E Cheese so I'm thinking I'll just have a piece of pizza and some salad?0

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD. Just used portion control on that Pizza and you should be allright.

I am here..........well, I am back. Under a different name. They shut down my other account, which sucks..........That was my 1 and only screen name for all of the internet.0 -
Hi leo, glad you are back. Everybody would be better off if they watch there carbs. I don't go as low as some of you but to me this is a lifetime change. And I got to learn this portion control. Carbs, Calories , the whole works.
My breakfast was 2 poached eggs, 2 slices of diet bread. ! T. diet jelly, and !T. light margerine for 17 grams of carbs
Lunch was 1 thick hamburger pattie , 1 sugar free hambuger bun, one slice of pickle and ! t. of blue cheese dressing for 23 carbs.
Mid afternoon snack 1 carton of whipped yoplait yogurt, now this is where I goof up for later after I ate it I look at the carbs and calories 160 calories and 25 g carbs. Way way to much for a snack . I have three more carton of it and i will throw them away for they were not worth all the calories and carbs.
For supper I will decide after I take my blood sugar what I will have. So far today it has been 125, 70. 69.
I know I will have baked fish and a good mess of veggies.
