Welcome to the BEACH!

It's a great place to hang out. Honestly, there aren't very many of us here on the SBD forum, so I spend some of my time over at the Atkins forum, where there are (seems like) hundreds of active posters.

So keep posting and minimize those CHEATS!!! ;)

Welcome to the Beach. I just stared this Monday and I have already lost 5 lbs.

I also just joined in the 100 Cheat free days Challange to keep me on track :)

here you can outline what you would consider a cheat and all we are trying to do is stay without a cheat for 100 days. Plenty support to help you keep cheat free :)

I have still continued to lose weight and inches. I work out at least 4-5 times a week, cardio about an hour a day. I have not lost TONS of weight, I have lost about 15 pounds in a month, but all my clothes are feeling lose. Even my bra and underwear.

I try to eat 3 full meals and snack in between, and when I feel hungry, I drink water.. I am not hungry throughout the day.. I eat breakfast, snack inbetween, lunch, afternoon snack then dinner before 7..

I'm doing SBD, but if I'm stalled at a weight for more than 7 days, I limit my carb intake to 15-20 per day. That jump-starts my system. The 20 carb per day philosophy comes from Atkins. But I'm definitely an SBD guy!

I excersize 5 times per week. (but I was doing that even before I started SBD)

The first 5 days I was extremely hungry. Now, that's not true anymore. I eat the standard 3 meals, 3 snacks per day. Occaisionally, on the weekends, I'll have a midnight snack! (but it's always low carb).

Haven't cheated in 89 days.
