Checking in...I have currently lost 5# on South Beach. It's probably all water weight, but 5# is 5#. The thing is, I lost it in the first two weeks. I am on the third week and don't think I have lost anything. I am not exercising, which I know is important, but I currently have the flu so it will have to wait. I never did…

HI and thank you for replying to my post. I am sitting here now trying to plan out my week. Looking for recipes or easy things to make. I will be working 10 hr days this week, meaning I will be gone 12 hrs and I know if I don't cook some stuff tomorrow, I will be in trouble because I won't want to make anything when I get…

Try adding a little vanilla to it and maybe some sweetener. I found that helps a lot!

Congratulations, that is great!

I enjoy egg drop soup. Just heat some chicken broth, about 4 cups, whip 2 eggs and slowly add to the broth while stirring. I also tried a recipe from the website last week that was very tasty, easy and inexpensive. Take a small can of sauerkraut and pour in sprayed 8x8 pan. Top with 3 chicken breasts, seasoned (I used Mrs.…

Hi Gamergl. I am only working 2 days this week and am hoping that will make things a little easier. I just did Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds...1 mile, which was plenty for just starting. I just need to find out how many calories that may have burned. It is a 20 min workout, so good for C1. I was pleasantly…

Well, it was a good plan. But this month, at least the last part of it, has been a total bust! Besides the holidays, I came down with bronchitis and work was very stressful as was Xmas. I feel awful, am sleeping terribly, and am depressed. I wasn't feeling this way when I followed the plan, even though I wasn't really…

My biggest challenge is myself! I crave carbs and once I have one piece of bread (starches), it is all over. I say myself because I am just so hard on myself and sabotage myself as if on purpose. Don't know why I do that. I live alone and have no reason to "sneak" food, but I still do after 50 years!

Ok, I know I said I was taking a hiatus. I ate way too many bad carbs yesterday and I am so swollen this morning. It's going to be a tough time...should be over, though, in about 12 days...I don't do anything for New Years.

I, too, eat mostly Kroger Carbmaster yogurt and have for years because of the low sugar. I just wish they had more flavors. I tried the carrot cake, but didn't like it much. I would love a lime! I also use Dannon Light and Fit. I just bought a case of 18 at GFS because it was a great deal. There is vanilla, strawberry, and…

I couldn't have said it better. That is my plan in a nutshell.

Congratulations on your loss and welcome! I was ready to quit when joined this board, but something clicked with these members, and I am still here. I am logging my food every day and sticking pretty close to the plan. I have not lost a lot, but have changed my way of eating and can tell in the way I feel. I noticed when I…

IMO, I would think that would be fine.

I saw a recipe somewhere for making a turkey breast in the crockpot. Just a turkey breast with seasoning. Has anyone seen it? I can't find it now.

I definitely feel I have destressed. I am feeling very positive, at the moment, that this will work. Went to Cracker Barrel for lunch today with my manager and, instead of eating what I usually do, I had a salad. Chose the one I thought would be the best, asked for no croutons, ff dressing. I allowed myself 1/2 a corn…

Thanks, Donna.

I am a freakin' rectangle! My chest, waist, and hips are almost the same! Not good, not good at all.

See, that confuses me. I like cottage cheese and add fruit to mine. It says we can have Breakstone Live & Active cottage cheese on C1, but can't find it. I did find Horizon with Live Active Cultures in the health food section of one of our larger Kroger stores, but it was so expensive. $4 for 16 oz.! I also called the…

I made the sesame tilapia recipe from the book the other night and it was delicious!

I just wrote a long post and lost it :frown: I was saying I was confused about all of the information on the webcasts and the forum that sometimes contradict what is in the book. For example...green tea. I can't drink it for medical reasons and saw on the webcast that the chef (?) said he drinks diluted sf cranberry juice…

Donna, Are you saying you did C1 2x in a row without moving on to C2? I am struggling, as you know, and with everything coming up this month...well, I just don't know how I am going to handle it. I have to wonder if that is what I need to do instead of going on to C2. I just don't want to go into starvation mode and the…

I love your rainbow ticker. Is it on MFP? I can't find it.

I have only lost 4# on C1. I followed it closely, but then blew it on Thanksgiving, but was down 4# Thanksgiving morning. I lost 3 of the 4# in the first few days.

I am not exercising at all at this time. I had surgery in Sept and it is a long road back. When I get home from work, I am sore and do not want to really overdo it. I am a little afraid to exercise in the morning, if I had the time, because I need to be able to get through a full day of work and don't want to do it in pain.

I am trying to get all my water in. Some days are good, some not so much. I just started tracking my calories today and I am at 850 for the day, including a yogurt tonight that I haven't had yet. Oh, I have been drinking Crystal Light all day, that might add about 20 calories! I made a pot of Chicken Vegetable soup and…

I am on C1D13 and have only lost 4#. I am VERY discouraged. I didn't gain anything over Thanksgiving, which is good, but I thought I would be down more than 4#. On another thread, it was suggested I track my calories...that I may not be getting enough. I got more than enough over the holiday weekend and that didn't help…

I, too, felt awful after Thanksgiving. I was also terribly bloated in the morning and for the next two days. I am on my first round of C1 and am going to extend it for the rest of this week. I am going to try to follow it to a "t" for this week and see if I can drop more weight. As of Thanksgiving morning, I have only lost…
