Anyone else on the South Beach diet???

I am starting today 3/2 :) I do this diet every now and then if I need to loose any weight. I put on some weight while trying to get pregnant, then some weight being pregnant and then some on my trip to Florida during the holidays!! It's been winter so I haven't tried as hard as I'd like to loose it.

I'm currently 30 lbs heavier than I usually am and really want to loose it by summer. I also am a bridesmaid at the end of May and would like to be close to my normal weight around that time.

so here goes....I need to keep track somehwere so I can increase my will power!!

Anyone else on this diet and wanna share or keep track of their progress with me??

edited to put my starting weight ..Gasp... 165 lbs

I have been on it a few times but I haven't done it in a while myself. I also need to drop about 20 lbs to be PP weight so maybe I will start up too. Hmmm....thanks for the reminder. Keep posting---hopefully it will motivate me to do it soon!

Ok, I finished Day 1!!! The first 3 days are usually the hardest for me.

Down 2 lbs. from yesterday. I usually loose 1-2 lbs. per day so this is off to a good start. :)

163lbs

Re: Anyone else on the South Beach diet???

Absolutely!!! I'm glad we can share :)

Here are some of my ideas for this week:

pot of chili w/ black, and red beans, crushed tomatoes, chopped peppers and onions, and i like to add frozen spinach and a LOT of spice! Sometimes I top it with a sprinkle of RF cheddar cheese and RF sour cream

-chicken salad: leftover boneless chicken breast with spices chopped and mixed with celery, onion, mayo and rolled up in lettuce leaves

Yesterday I made grilled chicken with lemon juice and garlic powder and grilled in EVOO. for dinner I went to McDonalds on my dinner break and had their Grilled Chicken Caeser Salad.. soo yummy.

I also like to make sauteed shrimp in EVOO and then add in some diced tomato and feta and serve on a bed of spinach, tastes really good over WW pasta when you get to that phase.

Wow! That's great!!!

I started this morning and I hope to see similar results. Started off my day with the 90 minute hot yoga class, followed by drinking 2 liters of water, then an omelet made with zucchini, red pepper, onions and 2 slices of turkey bacon. I hope to see the results that you are seeing!!!Chat Icon
