  • I just made some peanut butter cup overnight oats. I could see that as being really good for tiding yourself over between meals, maybe just have half a portion size
  • Hi Rene. I'd be happy to be 'friends' with you and help each other with South Beach. I restarted being serious with Phase I a week ago. I had regained weight I had lost + a couple more, but, thankfully, have taken 6 back off since really sticking with just proteins and veggies and a little fat this past week. I had done…
  • I will be on day 5, level 1 today. Day 2 was slighty easier for me than Day 1, but after Day3 I was totally zonked. I was absolutely exhausted and just kept feeling like I needed to literally go back to sleep! After eating a good breakfast and spending much of the day sitting playing board games with my family I felt…
  • Yay you! And congrats on your engagement. I finished my day 2 a few hours ago. - My muscles definitely got that shakey jello feeling the first day. Today, it didn't seem as interminably long as it did yesterday for some reason. I'm glad I did day 2 today even though my muscles were sore because moving through it has made…
  • Ah so good to have a good laugh before bed. The sprinkled dirt comment was my favorite.
  • Wow! What a great post. Congratulations to all of your family. My heart sings for your son. : ) And obviously you are doing fantastic as well!
  • What a fun post! And good work!
  • "But doing it that way (point to the other girl) obviously makes you a raging b*tch." That response is FUNNY. If you could be that quick witted, and say it with a laugh - perfect. Maybe even better that you stayed on her tail the whole time without knowing what you were thinking. Good job on the workout!
  • "I'd avoid commenting unless they ask for feedback. In my case my diary's private but I don't want people to come along and make suggestions because I am an extremely fussy eater and struggle with finding a lot of healthy things utterly repulsive. So it has been difficult for me to make even the changes I have (and my diet…
  • Yes, totally clear now. I generally eat a balanced, healthy diet . . . until my children are down for the night . . . It was the extras, way too often, that I was enjoying in the evenings. It doesn't take much to add 300 calories in dessert items. That's cool that you have a device for measuring how many calories you burn…
  • "Wow you don't know how happy I am to hear that! I've been depriving myself of any sweets or junk for 3 weeks now and I'm starting to get crazy cravings but I'm feeling so guilty about wanted them but I end up falling into a rut :( So I'm glad to hear you can cheat a little bit here and there and it's not the end of the…
  • Mine is definitely snacking at night. It's just so FUN. The kids are finally asleep, so kick back and enjoy a yummy big bowl of ice cream with my husband. . . Not as fun as not having my waist band digging into me, but fun in the moment. : )
  • Figure out what it is you're afraid of and then come up with at least 3 other ways of responding to that need/fear/whatever it is. Wish you the best.
  • Well, by the time I saw your discouraged note I see you are already feeling encouraged again. Yeah! I particularly like the image of how many cubes of butter is lost when it seems it is "just" a half pound or a pound or so. Even a quarter pound is quite a bit of extra mushiness! Plus you've said you're feeling it in your…
