Hi Vikki~ That sounds like me -- I've really been serious about SB twice; lost 40 lbs the 1st time (then gained 30 back), then lost 30 the 2nd time. That's where I seem to hit a sticking point. I'm really focusing on strength training this time. Before I was walking everyday -- a lot -- but after that 1st 30-40 lbs, it…

Marking my spot -- be back later. Linda

Finding the new thread so I can read later! Having a really great day, so far, today! Hope everyone else is too!:drinker: :drinker: Linda

Wow! Just finished catching up on 2 days worth of posts -- now it's time for bed! :yawn: :yawn: Will post tomorrow when I have more time. Linda

Whoo-hoo!!! Congratulations qwills2cats!! Yes, the little cheats have a tendency to sneak up on you -- portion sizes too. Every time I get serious about SB, I weigh and measure my food meticulously. But after a while, I slack off and just start eyeballing portion sizes. It's amazing how those portions expand over time if…

@Desiree – My son’s stationed in Wiesbaden. Hope you enjoy your trip. I want to go before his tour is up. @Janice – sugar and most of the processed carbs do that to me as well – I get tired and lethargic, and if I sit in one place too long I fall asleep, doesn’t matter what time of day or how much sleep I’ve gotten. Also,…

Hi and Welcome to all the new people who posted this week. I've had a really busy week, and haven't been on to check on post or log my food or anything. Glad the weekend is finally here!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Hope you all drop by here and let us know how you're doing. I found when I was on SB before that I did much better…

Hi Amy! Welcome to our little support thread. To answer your question -- yes and no :smile: Dr. Agatson designed the eating plans for SB so that users didn't have to worry about counting calories. Originally, the diet was designed to change blood chemistry in his cardiac patients, not as a weight loss program, so he didn't…

Virginia, the Glamour Shots are gorgeous! Your transformation is absolutely amazing!! Thanks for sharing the pics. Linda

UGH!! Dreary, rainy day here today -- took a long time to get up and get moving this morning. Would love to curl up on the couch with hot tea and a book, but have places to go and things to do so I best get started! Hope everyone has a great Saturday! Linda

Good evening, ladies! Hope everyone is getting a good start on their weekend. @Robin – OMG! What a cutie! Enjoy your time with her. :love: @Nancy – I had to laugh about you practicing the proper names for intimate body parts. It reminded me of a sign language workshop I went to last summer. One of the sessions for teachers…

I do!! When I look at myself in the mirror, I see that I'm overweight. But not to the extent that I see when I see myself in pictures!! I wouldn't know about the opposite perspective -- seeing yourself as heavy when your actually much thinner -- haven't been thin enough in recent memory to tell :happy: But I have read that…

New people joining at the beginning of the year always make the thread much longer for the first couple of months or so. The thread I post on at the SouthBeach site had over 9000 posts in Jan, but is only up to about 4500 right now, with just a little over a week left in Feb. This thread got well into its 3rd page in Jan,…

Hi divamsm! What part of Texas? I've lived in Texas all my life -- currently live in Ft Worth. Glad you found us too! Welcome!!

This is something I have to think about every day! Read something that I should adopt as my mantra: "If hunger is not the problems, food is not the solution!" Linda

Welcome Rebecca, ke1996, mazie61, sarily 44, Del, and any other newcomers I somehow missed! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: @Mary – I had one Red Lobster biscuit. I had planned ahead – looked at their nutritional info online and decided what to have and saw that I could have one biscuit and stay within my calorie range. As…

@Sarah – I’ve been working on the 30-day Shred too. I only do it 3 times a week, so it’s gonna take more than 30 days (it wouldn’t matter if I did it 3 times a day, every day – it’s gonna take way more than 30 days for me to get anywhere close to being “shredded” :bigsmile: ). Still on Level 1, but noticing a definite…

I know of maybe 1 person who made it through Phase 1 without a cheat. Nobody's perfect -- just dust yourself off, and get right back to it with the next meal. Changing our habits and adjusting to a new lifestyle is not easy, and we're gonna slip on occasion. Try to learn from the slips -- keeping a journal is really…

That's what I forgot at the store today -- my sunflower seeds are stale and I wanted to get more. Grrrrrrrr . . . :angry: :angry: Well, back to the store tomorrow!!

Dr. A allows you 100 calories of "sweet treat" on occasion (he says 2-3 times a week, I think) and these still need to be of the low carb variety. He actually recommends having the dark chocolate (70+% cocoa) for this treat, as it has good-for-the-heart stuff in it! This is the saving grace of the diet as far as I'm…
-
Hi kcolson! Welcome!! Let us know how you're doing -- and if you have any questions! If you have a chance to get the book, either the original or the Supercharged book, I think it's worth the investment. You can probably find enough info online to figure out the eating plans, but his books give a lot of information about…

How true! Age does make weight loss a little more difficult, but even a lot of younger people have unrealistic expectations. At any age, we didn't gain 5 or 10 lbs in a week -- why do we expect to LOSE the weight that quickly? :huh: LInda
-
Down 3 lbs this week!! :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile: Now, just have to figure out how to hold onto it over the weekend :smile: Going to the store with my DD; hope everyone has a great, active day! Linda
-
Oh well :grumble: So much for our beautiful weather. Been cloudy and cooler all week – new cold front with rain about to hit, temps will be below freezing by morning (but fortunately, the rain will have moved on by then, so no ice) @ohmicki – I have a bad habit of doing exactly the same thing with logging food. Made a pact…

No, I can relate to your difficulties! Around my house, from Christmas to Easter is one LLLLOOOONNNNGGGG string of holidays, birthdays, and reasons to eat chocolate (my favorite too). After recovering from Christmas and finally getting all the festivity foods out of the house, my DH's bday comes along at the end of Jan. My…

Time to get going! Have to get my exercise in and then type a paper to turn in during class tonight. "Get up, get up, get busy, do it, get up and move that body . . ." (lyrics to a song on one of my walking playlists -- can't remember who sings it, but good advice :happy: ) Linda
-
That's my evening drink of choice right now -- Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime herbal tea! Don't know how long it will continue once it starts getting hot again -- guess I'll have to find one that taste good iced :drinker: Another plus for the herbal tea . . . it can be counted as part of your water for the day!! Linda
-
LOL!! Oh, it's mine, too. My daughter and I were just thinking about going out for some. I think I will join you in your avoidance goal!
-
I'm still here too! Lost 6 lbs in January. Had a minor setback the last couple of weeks -- gained 2 back :frown: But I've refocused and got back on track yesterday! Glad to see we're still hanging in there!! Linda
