Weight loss - Starting weigh in

[memarcie]

Amethyst, the first 2 weeks of South Beach forbid any alcohol! So that's two reasons to be on the diet, lose weight and no AL! I've been on it for 4 days and it's going good. I'm losing weight, but I'll wait until it's been a week to post a total.

How are all my fellow dieters doing? I'm still sticking to South Beach, it hasn't been too bad. Except when I'm starving for something a work, they have no carb free snacks in the vending machine, LOL. They did have nuts which are ok on this diet, but of course when I tried to buy that selection was out of order! Oh well.

We are having a breakfast pig out at work next week. That is perfect, someone is bringing scrambled eggs and I'm bringing sausages! Of course I can't eat the donuts or yummy cakes that I'm sure others will bring, but I'm ok with that. I can hardly wait for Saturday so I can see how much weight I've lost this week!

A more days on it and you will rarely even be hungry. I took cheese sticks and almonds to work to keep on hand b/c our snack cupboard is a carbaholics paradise. I'm dying to weigh myself but I will not do it till Sun(maybe if I keep telling myself that I really will wait)

Hi everyone,

It's day 4 of the south beach diet for me also and 9 days AF and I'm feeling pretty bloody marvelous. I feel as though I've lost weight but I haven't weighed myself yet, gonna do that on Monday. I had my hair cut yesterday, 1st time in almost 18mths, Yep, haven't been looking after myself for a long time. I feel like a new person, my kids keep saying young mummy's back, brill eh? I've been keeping active doing long over due jobs inside the house and in the garden, spent 5hrs doing my front garden yesterday. My arms and legs are acheing today. I need to start some regular exercise though. I want to start with a 20min walk every day but I'm having trouble getting into it cause i'm getting caught up in all the jobs that need doing. I 'll get there though.

happy weight loss everyone

Isn't it amazing the things we let go when drinking? Gardening is pretty darn good exercise

I'm glad everyone is doing so well. I am struggling. I did South Beach and was AF for almost 90 days with no problem - no cheating - no stress no cravings. Then I indulged on my anniversary weekend - wine, champagne, the first potato and bread I'd had. I tried to get back in the groove after that and I am really struggling - two to three weeks now.

I went back on campral to try to help with the Al cravings and the sugar cravings. I need to get back in my groove because I still have a long way to go weight-wise and Al needs to go away forever.

I'm glad this board is here and y'all are on southbeach too - it really does work well with being AF. Get in the zone and stay there!

Wow - you gals are inspiring me!

I don't know WTF is going on with me - but I am eating more than ever!! Snacking at work is at an all time high this week. May be PMS, and it may be cuz I quit smoking. I think I gained some gut this week - dammit!!

I'm so frustrated. Why do I let myself grab for anything within reach to stuff in my face? (and there's lots to stuff at the office, I'm in the food biz and we have a closet full of food samples ---GGGRRRR)
