I am back at SB Diet again (only way I ever lose weight) I have an insulin resistance so anything low GI. Right now I am still breastfeeding a newborn so I need to be careful I am still getting enough calories for both of us yet still maintain weight loss. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I started on New Years (Such a cliche) but couldn't do it during the holidays (too many cookies and long distance travel... aka fast food). However, I started at 185.4 lbs and as of this morning the scale said 179. First time in the 170's since probably week 12 of pregnancy.

First Goal - get under 170 (pre-pregnancy weight Kid #2)
Second Goal - get under 160 (pre-pregnancy weight Kid #1)

Thanks for any support and meal suggestions - that are SUPER quick and easy to make.

Congrats artattck on the newest family member...how wonderful!

I found this article about breastfeeding while on the SBD: https://www.verywell.com/south-beach-diet-q-a-nursing-mom-3494854

Hope something in there helps!

And welcome to our teeny tiny group!

Morning all...happy to see u again Silvergirl!

I was at Costco yesterday for a few things and decided to pick up another container of the veggie bites...they were gone. Hoping they are just out...did not take the time to ask if was a one and done deal.

Lots of sickness going around...our dealership has been hit hard. I have a cold...as far as I can tell, that is all it is...and mild so far. Just really tired. I get home from work and take a nap. Go to bed early. All I want to do is sleep. Two more days and I am home free.

Today's plan:

Br. Eggs and salsa
Lu. Veggie bites
Sn. Cliff bar
Di. Chicken veggie soup
De. Daves killer bread toast and tea

Silver, I see you found the ak maks...good for you!

Started early, 12/27, lost 10 lbs as of today. Had two free meals along the way, but jumped right back on the wagon. Not really exercising much, did recumbent bike 3 days, but just too busy for a lot of exercise right now. Was only able to stay on phase 1 for 1 week - vegetarian and just not enough variety. Don't really eat veggie burgers, etc - I'm always left with a garlic after taste for 24 hrs from these. Knew if I didn't move to phase 2, I may give up. Week 2, I added whole grains and fruit slowly (one portion a day, now 2 servings of fruit some days) - I'm MUCH happier. As a vegetarian I usually start out the day with an open face whole wheat grilled (1 slice), tomato and mozzarella sandwich. Morning and after lunch snacks consist of cheese stick and 8 almonds. Lunch, was doing salads with 1/2 cup light cottage cheese instead of dressing. Now lunch consists of 3/4 light cottage cheese and small granny smith apple or banana/cheese stick/8 almonds. Dinner is large salad or 1 cup whole grain pasta and cup of veggies or 2 to 3 veggie egg rolls w/ Teriyaki sauce. Evening snack is normally low sodium (or sometimes reg) V-8 juice heated, so I really sip and enjoy it. Occasionally will have chocolate, but only when I crave it - sometimes I can walk by chocolate and have absolutely no desire, at these times I don't indulge at all. Occasional vodka with seltzer or spring water and pure lemon juice. Drink 4 to 5 16 oz bottles of spring water each day. Two 12 oz. cups of coffee with 1/4 c. 1% milk daily. Was in starvation mood for about 5 days, but just held strong and several lbs suddenly melted off. Feeling strong & soooo much better!

Morning all...well, home from work today...I do think the worst may be over...Saturday night was horrible...I started this job Sept 24 2015 and this is my third time calling in. Not bad. And one was I had to take Ernestine to vet...she had a very bad reaction to Trader Joe's doggie treats...at the time I did not know it was the treats...anyway, she is fine now...(her treats are now only apples and carrots and other veggies) and this is only my second real sick day. Not bad.

My menu is not great...but all real food. Dave's Killer bread ... the sixty calorie slices...used as toast. I found a really good instant oatmeal at Trader Joe's...I don't have the box in front of me...but it has no added sugars ...just whole grain and gluten free. Oranges, OJ...yesterday, I finished my soup. Will cook up some chicken breasts today for some good protein.

I love seeing everyone's menu...even if you repeat...it makes see that I am doing the right thing by focusing on Whole Foods.

Thank you for the get well wishes...very much appreciated!

Morning Sabine. Have a great run! Good luck this new semester!

Morning all...well, I weighed myself today...144.4 Not bad and I have not been starving myself either. I probably am not eating as much as I usually eat...but I have had Dave's Killer bread toasted with a bit of butter ...yesterday four slices. I also had oatmeal, egg salad...oh wait, I think I had six slices. Yikes. Not much tastes that great actually.

I do love this bread. Have switched from Ezekiel. This stuff is good. I get the one that is 60 cal a slice. Good rating on fooducate.

Will have eggs for breakfast today. I probably could have gone into work today...but I am still congested and my cough is so rough...so decided to stay home one more day.

Goodness, when I go back tomorrow, I will prob not have any signs of being sick. They will think I faked it. Man, is that not even true. I do not get sick often, but when I do...holy crap!

So, today's plan looks like this:

break coffee, eggs, toast and butter
snack oranges
lunch veggies bites over zoodles
snack not sure
dinner baked chicken breast, zoodles and sweet potato
dess hmm, not sure.

Later, mates. Do have a great day. Make smart choices.

Thanks everyone for posting your meals, do you still log on your diary? I am following the eating plan(SBD) but didn't know how to keep track or if I should. I'd appreciate any help!
