New to South Beach
Is there anyone here who is just starting the South Beach Diet? I just started phase 2 this week and am looking for more breakfast ideas to take to work. I take breakfast, snacks, lunch, and sometimes need two snacks between lunch and the time I leave for the day. (It's a long day!) I would love to hook up with someone…

Newbie needs help, please
I had Roux-n-y in Nov, 2003. I lost about 70# and was at 190-195 for about 5 years. Then, BOOM, the weight started coming back on. A few pounds at a time. I have lost 2 jobs in a year and a half due to downsizing and gained 15# in that time in addition to all I had gained prior to that. I can now say I lost about 20#, not…

Trying South Beach Diet
Has anyone done the South Beach Diet who had Roux-n-y? I joined there website, which is not very user friendly, and am thinking about just doing it on here. The only thing is that it requires lots of vegetables and no fruits in the first phase. I am having problems with all of the vegetables - very gassy and can't control…

Coming back to MFP
I joined the South Beach diet online this week and do not like their site. I would like to try to do the South Beach diet using this site. Is that possible? Also - I use mostly my mobile app on my iPad. When I was on there today, I was unable to find groups and message boards? Are they not available on the mobile apps?…

Not a lot of discussion going on
With 62 members, I was hoping to see more discussion on this board. I haven't been here in 3 weeks or so and not much going on. I was hoping to gleam more from here than the cumbersome boards on the 17 day diet sites.

Need help
I need to get back on track, but it is proving to be a nearly impossible task. I think I need to take it a little at a time and not go cold turkey as that usually sets me up for failure. Any suggestions?

Struggling with C2
My weight loss was very slow during 2 cycles of C1. I first did C1 before the holidays, tried to continue throughout the holidays, gave up, and started again. I only seem to lose water weight at the beginning of the cycle. I chose to go on to C2, but am really struggling. I usually will try to take leftovers from the…

C2 question - how do you do it?
I just got home from work. I am physically and mentally exhausted and the last thing I want to do is cook. I didn't get to cook things over the weekend, which is probably the best way to do it. But honestly, there are times I would like to eat something freshly cooked and not left over. So my question is...I am starting C2…

Starting Over
Today is the day I start over. My grandkids are still here, but they can eat up the bad stuff or it is getting pitched. Have been doing Just Dance 3 for Wii with them the past 2 days, but guess I am not ready for that intensity after my surgery in Sept! Will try just a walking video today and see if that is easier on me.

Made a decision
I made a decision this morning and I can say I owe it to your helpfulness on this site. After reviewing my notes from my visit with a WLS nutritionist last summer, I noticed she suggested I stay around 200-250 calories per meal, 5x a day. That is 1000-1200 cal/day. I was unable to do it at the time, but C1 is getting…

Taking a hiatus
Ok, I need to be accountable to someone and am asking for your help. I have tried sticking to C1 throughout the holidays, but have found myself with some serious carb cravings. I am going to continue to try to make good choices, but until after Xmas, things are just crazy foodwise. So....I have decided to allow myself a…

Rough week for eating
Xmas lunch at work, out to eat for lunch 2x (mentally necessary), xmas lunch Sat, b'day dinner Sun at Skyline Chili, xmas lunch next week! I had put back a couple of pounds after the first xmas lunch as I am sure it was laden with salt - all Mexican - and I wasn't very careful about what I was eating. I peed all day…

Breakfast
How long after you get up do you eat breakfast? I find I am not hungry in the morning, especially after the lemon water (which I add fiber to). Most times I try to eat when I get to work, but sometimes get busy and don't get to it until 9:30 or 10, which should really be considered a snack time.

Going to take my measurements
I did not take my measurements when I started, but I think I will do that today. Maybe I am losing inches? My pants don't feel as tight as they did, but I have a long way to go.

Having problems tonight
All I want are some bad carbs. Of course, I have none in the house and am not going out...it is cold and snowy. But I was on the 17 day diet forum and became even more discouraged because of some of the posts. One person said I probably was not ready to start this and I am wondering if she is right. I have 3 work luncheons…

First day on MFP
This is my first day on My Fitness Pal. It was recommended on another 17 day diet forum, but I am not sure I like it. I have spent the morning trying to enter a couple of recipes, along with some cooking. I don't know how you can edit a recipe or how you can get the measurements you need, like cups, teaspoons, or…
