South Beach Diet?

Anyone doing or have already done this program? I am on day 4 of phase 1 and very pleased with the results!

I got my Thursday weigh in number.  Wait, what?  Since I didnt want to wait until tomorrow afternoon when Kiki's off school, I went this afternoon.  No smiles, no tears, just a poker face til tomorrow morning.   

Kiki voluntarily got on scale but we couldnt make it work for her.  Nurse said it was being calabrated which might be the problem.  I got back on and it worked, she did and not.  It looks lik a mini treadmill to accommodate bypasss patients.  I wonder if shes to small to weigh on it.  Hope not as it would be a good thing for us to do together so will try next time together.

Afterwards I thought couldve put her on with me and subtracted.  Or got sued for breaking mega scale.

hey everyone!

Starting Date : Aug 20th Starting weight : 160 ? (still not quite sure) Current weight : 151.4 (yay down 1.4 from yesterday!) Target weight : 120....110 would be my dream Jennasourus Jenna 22 Brooklyn NY

Hi Everyone!!!

I'm a terrible thread mate! My world's been so crazy that I haven't been here to visit - everyone is so motivating!!  I need to come more!!

ok...my stats...(I'm changing my start date, cause remember...i started that day, but ended it with cocktails, etc....not a rolicking good start by any means...) but my better start (still struggling with some cheats...had some apple butter on my pork tenderloin the other night....and pickles-i'm sure there is sugar in that...)  anywho...i guess it gives me more goals!!

starting date: Aug 24
starting weight:215
current weight: 210
goal weight: 160

i was sort of hoping for more...but, i guess one step at a time!  i tried on my dress the other day....it fits, and looks nice....but would love to have a little more room in it....

Mary, as long as you stick around and know your part of the group, your doing everything perfectly!   Glad to see SBs moving the weight off you and you havent finished the first week yet - good going!

Jenna. your screenname still makes me smile - very cute!  Nice drop from yesterday lady!  Keep up the good work.

Lisa, Im just glad to have you checking in knowing youve dealing with wedding plans!  Bet that dress looked better then nice.  Ive updated you to 8/24 (those pesky cocktails LOL).  So glad your going the healthy route - I hear weird things gals do to drop weight for the wedding and SB works.  We all slip but you are right on track.

Great day everybody!!  Dont remember if Gina and Sharon intended to weigh in.  Totally voluntary of course but fun and for me, motivational.

Here we are so far BTW.  Did our total up because it could be interesting next week to see the different total.  They say 1% body weight loss is good weekly, 1-2 lbs a week for those in the 100s or 200s. We could see ...

Hi everyone,

I've just been lurking around at work, procrastinating doing real work and I saw a few comments about the cottage cheese.

I went on South Beach and was quite successful as well but I hated cottage cheese until I learned to put it in my food processor and blend it smooth. It has more of a yogurt consistency and you can substitute it for ricotta in the desserts.

And if you just mix it for a bit with the cocoa ricotta dessert it starts to look and taste like a Wendy's Frosty.

 

whoa that is an amazing idea. the whole reason i skieve cottage cheese is bc of the luppyness. i am deff gonna try that! thank you!!

Hello fellow beacher!  Thats a good idea and small curd might make it less likely to have remaining lumps -  its already mushier . Got to go large curd myself.  I can get pretty lazy with food but gonna do the strawberry buttermilk smoothie tonight to freeze for tomorrow.

I am game on this cottage cheese thing! I love it as is, but having a good dessert is fun too! And I HATE the riccotta thing! YUCK!
