    Hey everyone.

    I have fallen off the wagon this weekend, gained a lot of water weight and struggling today to get back on the wagon due to feeling depressed...............

    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!

    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.

    Since we got home I've been craving vegetables! :huh:
    That's pretty weird, but I really did miss fresh raw veggies!

    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. :wink:
    So I filled up on meat & salad. (I did taste the pita.) :wink:

    That sounds good............

    I love the seasonings that Indian and Middle Eastern dishes contain. It is a flavor explosion.

    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?

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

    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.

    Calie

    Welcome back Leo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
