    I started the south beach diet today,and will start entering what I have eaten tormorrow. I signed up on the southbeach webiste,but will cance in the morning.I like the fitness pal best and a whole lot easier to enter your foods.
    I have never been on the south beach diet but looks very healhty and will be a lifestyle . I need friends to join me on this for support. I have been on HCG, Weight watchers,and this looks to be easy and I am ready to get with it.

    Just remember that while you do lose weight with SB, it is really meant to be a change in lifestyle once you get to phase III. Failure to adopt SB as an overall lifestyle going forward generally results in gaining the weight back because you go back to old habits. I didn't do SB, but I lost a lot of weight here on MFP watching my calories and eating very similar to phase 3/Mediterranean combo inspired diet that I still follow now at maintenance.

    This is my second time doing the SBD. My DH and I are on Day 2 of Phase 1. Totally agree that this must become a way of life not just a quick fix; however, it is definitely a quick fix for my sugar cravings that I had eliminated but now have back, and HOW!! I had totally eliminated my "need" for sweets and lately have not been able to get enough sugar in me :(

    I am looking forward to my DH and I both adopting a healthier lifestyle and being there longer for our children!

    I also must say that I totally agree with preferring this website to the "official" SBD site. Almost every food that I was entering on their site needed to be manually entered. I called and cancelled the membership after 24 hours.

    I am near the end of phase 1. I really love it! Sugar cravings are gone and because this is a high protein diet, I don't ever feel that "starving hungry" feeling I have had with other diet plans. I have to say though, it was a little tough over the Memorial Day weekend to stay with it (I did stay with it!) when I went to a BBQ where there was a ton of food that is prohibited on SBD. I am looking forward to starting phase 2 on Monday!

    Yesterday my DH and I took a road trip and managed to eat 2 meals out and stay on the plan!!! We had salads from Applebees and Arby's for both lunch and dinner and just ate nuts for our snacks. While the salad from Arby's was not loaded with a variety of veggies and had a little bacon on it, we still fared quite well for being away from the house for 12 hours!! Huge success for us.

    As of this morning I am down almost 5 pounds, and he is down 8! Woo Hoo!

    That's what this thread is all about sewcute. Good luck to you. Phase 1 is tough but is a necessary part of the program, I am on Day 7 of Phase 1 and I'm seeing great success. Down 7 pounds after just 6 days! MFP has really helped to ensure that I am getting the correct balance and staying on plan!
