Hey all! I'm following the South Beach Diet pretty closely, along with the calorie recommendations of MFP. Is anyone else doing this? Would love some more friends that are walking a similar path! :happy:

    I am! I am on day 2 of phase 2. Started tracking calories on MFP because I was afraid I was eating too many calories! I would love to chat to compare experiences!

    This is day 2 for me as well, Very scary adding those extra carbs! Sooo.. I decided to log intake as well. I need to do better. Was way under calorie suggestion for the day.

    I am currently back at Phase 1. Have been doing South Beach since mid January and really enjoy the program. Was sick with flu for couple weeks and at nothing but toast and crackers and was starting to get some cravings....went back to Phase 1 on Monday. I have been using a website called Kalynskitchen.com for some great recipes.....really keeps things from getting boring!

    That probably still has a lot of carbs in it. I would steer clear during phase one.

    I did it in college for a while, and lost a quick 20 pounds., Unfortunately my love of Beer and bread cause me to fall off the wagon. Good luck to you all!

    Hi:). I am on South Beach. I started on August 20, 2012. I never dreamed I could make it without my white refined carbs, especially sugary junk, but I have thrived. After the first four days or so, the sugar cravings were almost gone, which was somewhat of a miracle for me. I have found the diet surprisingly easy to follow (and it gets easier as time goes on). I plan to eat this way for the rest of my life, allowing treats occasionally, after i reach goal.. Sugar and white bread, etc will not be a regular part of my diet. Giving up the sugar and other white things seemed to be the key for me. I was having a difficult time losing weight once I hit my mid-40s, but wi SB, I have lost faster than I ever dreamed I would. I did.not want to turn 50 being fat! My birthday is in about 5 weeks, and I will be pretty close to my goal by then. Love SB! Bat of luck to you!

    It's going great! I love SBD & don't find it at all difficult to follow. I frequent both the SBD & MFP forums & I'm glad to have you as a friend. BTW.....I'm susiep0417 on the SBD forums.

    I'm also starting SB tomorrow (on a Saturday, I know but why not!). I have done it in the past and was really successful. I have another stubborn 15 lbs to loose and want to start the diet in conjunction with MFP so hopefully it works out well for me!

    I have found some good recipes at http://www.kalynskitchen.com/ and also at http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

    I find that the easiest way to plan my daily meals is to do what is fairly quick and easy. I am just finishing my first week on SB. The first 4 days, I had a constant headache (I'm assuming it was from carb withdrawal), but that has passed now thankfully. I am certain that I can maintain this new lifestyle of eating, and I don't really feel restricted at all. Good luck with your recipes!

    I am on Day 3 of Phase 1. I have lost 4.4 lbs in the first 2 days. All water, but I have to take a diuretic so I will release water and I noticed yesterday I was going tinkle a lot more often on my own. I was excited! I would love to help support each other. My mom had 40 to lose and couldn't get that weight off with any diet she tried until Southbeach. Each day is becoming easier. The first day was the hardest. Tell me where you are on the diet, and how it is working for you. - Cyndi
