Every body is different and responds differently to changes in eating. For me, the SBD is the only thing that has really helped me to lose weight and keep it off (for the most part). If you open your diary, maybe we can help?

Agreed. The South Beach Diet has worked well for me (the times I've actually done it and stuck to it), including now. I've heard from others as well that phase 1 has helped them jump start their weight loss. Good luck finding something that works for you. But I wouldn't suggest "cleanses" as a way to effectively lose…

I just started yesterday. It's going well so far. I made a bunch of hard boiled eggs, bought some non-fat, no sugar added greek yogurt, cheese sticks, and splenda to keep at work. I've tried it before a few times. Sometimes I just don't follow through. But 4 years ago I did it successfully for 6 months and lost 30 pounds.…

Broccoli Slaw from trader joe's. It's just shredded broccoli and carrots. I mix it with light mayo and a little lemon juice and put it on my sandwiches instead of lettuce.

Your HRM is probably more (but maybe not exactly) accurate because the numbers are tailored to your body (ie height, weight, age, gender, etc.). Cardio machines don't always include all those variables in their calculations, so they just give you a generic # of calories.

Bay Area! East Bay!

You can add me too! I'm looking for more friends to encourage and be encouraged by!

I've been addicted to coffee for the past 5 years. I used to do whole milk and sugar in my coffee. Now, I started drinking plain green tea--no calories! But when I do make coffee at home, I use nonfat milk and splenda. When I really want to treat myself, I will go to a coffee shop and get a latte with nonfat milk and sugar…

I'm looking for supportive friends too! Feel free to add me.

Done! I made my diary public.
