I'm still losing, but more slowly than I had been. I decided in addition to weighing I will record measurements at least monthly as well, so I won't get discouraged if the scale stops moving but the measurements shrink.

I've been doing this for a while now, but I'm still on Level 1. I've already noticed a difference from what I was able to do the first time I tried it to what I can do now, but I still do the modified some of the time - I do the full for as long as I can and then switch down to modified. On the first few days I had to…

My fiance and I have been on South Beach since the end of June, going strong on Phase 2. I didn't see the big results during Phase 1 like he did, but I still lost some and I don't have cravings most of the time. He still struggles with wanting fast food, I still have times where I could eat half a pound of mashed potatoes…

I grew up in an area where people marry young, sometimes even before graduating high school. Then I went to a college where one of the most popular majors is Marriage, Family, and Human Development and a huge emphasis is put on finding a mate before graduation. I bought into it big time and ended up engaged at 19 to a male…

She won't.

I order mine from Adagio mostly, with the occasional splurge trip to Teavana. Adagio has an app called Teafinder that will show you tea houses near you (or you can do the same thing from their website). If you want recommendations, let me know.

I've had a few surprises, almost always restaurant meals. Especially notable is a salad from Zaxby's - with grilled chicken, not eating the toast that comes with it, and only using one packet of dressing (they give you two) it is nearly 700 calories! The Mixed Grill at Olive Garden got me too - that plus salad brought me…

I serve shrimp scampi over spaghetti squash instead of pasta, and in my opinion it tastes better. I also like it as a side dish with a bit of fake butter and some herbs, or just salt and pepper.

After a couple days on Phase 1 of South Beach (lean protein, low-fat cheeses, and low-natural-sugar veggies only), I stopped craving the garbage I used to eat. I used to stop at a drive-through almost every day on my way to work, then get disgusted with myself for doing it when I was hungry right after. Now I have control…

I live in Georgia, and you know where I find healthy food? The grocery store. Even if there's no farmers' market near you, logic dictates that there has to be a grocery store. Look up healthy recipes, cook them for your family, and serve them. A picky eater will get hungry enough to eat what's served. You have tons of…

I'm already your friend, and I'm aiming to lose at least 140 lb. Since I'm already down 11 pounds after four weeks, I'm staying positive. I really feel like I can do it this time.
