    Life stresses got the worst of me which include sugar, bread, pasta, fried foods, sweets and just about anything that is unhealthy for you. I've been really cutting back on all the trigger foods and removing them from the home and our every day meal plans. I've been going strong with SouthBeach for the last few days and it's going OK so far.

    So what's everyone's game plan?

    I'll be swimming 3-4 days/week, prepping, tracking (honestly!) and drinking water! No specific food plan yet, but working cleaner foods back in to my days.

    Just a note guys- 2 lbs/week is fine initially for those who have a lot to lose, but it's not really practical to pursue as a long-range strategy. Also, I'm seeing several posts from people with fairly low starting weights, and 2 lbs/week is not going to be very practical. I am 5'9" & just over 200 and there is no way I could consistently achieve 2 lbs/week at this point. Don't want to dampen anyone's enthusiasm- definitely set your goals and work hard- but be realistic with your expectations. Best wishes, everyone :)

    I should say, no way I could do so in a healthy manner and without needing to kill someone.

    Agreed. Personally I am happy with 1- 1.5 pounds. Considering we just past the holiday season I was satified with no gain! :D
