MammaD10 - I hear you about getting in a funk and not sticking to plan. I was in one for most of February and March, but finally just came out of it in the last couple of weeks and got the scale moving again.

Hi Everybody!
Today I will be starting SB. I lost weight with Kimkins before but now it seems like it is a bit harder.

Anyway, I ordered the book but meanwhile I will be just carefully watching my carbs and fat.

Hi!
I know ...I've been there too. I do recall that this has been an issue for you before this time. Sorry it seems to be so hard for you to stay on track.
I'll ask you what I asked a couple of weeks ago....Are you choices in line with your intentions?
Please try to remember this question when faced with a choice to stick to your plan...or not.
At my start, I'd carry my food list with me and I'd look at it to see what I could have when faced with a hard choice. Maybe that would help you too.

Veggie quiche is good to start with.
What else are you planning to cook?
I like to cook up large amounts of some basic things to eat during the week so that I don't have to cook a lot as I'm so busy trying to earn enough to pay all my bills.
My freezer was bare on Saturday. I decided to cook up 2 lbs of grd turkey into a big pot of very veggie chili. Now I've got a load of it frozen and ready to eat. I also made a big pot of split pea soup....phase I friendly.
Yesterday, I marinated and grilled up 4 chicken breasts. Garlicy and spicy!!
So now, my freezer is stocked up and I'm ready for my week.

Actually Judy , what happens to me ..............i just say F* it.
I get agrivated or what ever & say who the hell cares.
Now these are not excuses but this is what happens.....
I have a child with Aspergers Syndrome , and when he is having issues many days in a row.......I just say oh to hell with a diet , I deserve a treat.....blah blah , stupid I know.
Sometimes Its money , we are self employed contractors , business was slow.........money gets tight , I say oh screw it , I will just eat bread , rolls, ya know the cheap stuff.

Biggest issue........my husband hates food. He has a weird stomach , cant eat alot of things , is hypoglycemic and his nutritionisnt even said south beach is the best diet for him , but he hates everything. I get real disgusted with dinners. He has this other weird prob which we are not sure what the hell it is , but his mouth gets real sore. He has had many xrasy , no one knows what it is yet , so when this happens , he can only eat soft mushy things.......my house becomes like a resturant , me being the waitress & cook.

Aspergers son( Jeremy) only eats certain foods.......husband is the most fussies eater , i tell him he is autistic too......thank god my Big kid ( 19) eats what I like.
Tonight Id love to make a sherpards pie recipe I found , and i know brian will hate it , so i will have to make hims something else........he hates turkey burgers , he hates most things.......can I come live with someone else?..........lol
And my favorite foods , like mashed cauliflower , he hates , he hates vegetables too....he cant have sauce.......its just sometimes overwhelming

Im not gonna let them tick me off this time , I have a side view picture of my in my bathing suit that makes me wanna puke , I keep thinking , I AM NOT LOOKING LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
And I am not buying anymore shorts for the summer.

Hey , thanks for listening

We have a lot in common my dear (including the same first name, LOL). PM me if you ever need to talk about Asperger's or fussy husbands - I know first-hand how stressful it can be. (((hugs)))

Thanks other Donna. Your too kind.

Hi all! I figured I should drop in here and make myself an official member of this thread and this South Beach diet support group! I just started yesterday and my first day went VERY VERY well. I already dropped 2.5 pounds which tells me that my diet before this was NOT good. Just coming off of easter and eating a ton of chocolate, of course, made me all bloated. I'm feeling great now and really focused and determined to make this work. I tried south beach some time ago, but couldn't keep up with it. I had a tough time packing snacks (stupid, I know) and getting in the veggies. But I'm here and ready.

I can't find my book at home, so I'm going to go buy another one. Other than that, these threads and all the helpful advice is really awesome.

Keep up the good work everyone, and to mamma, just hang in there. It sounds like you have a lot of tough stuff going on in your life and I really wish you the best.

Oh, and it looks like I win for being the heaviest! WOO! (hehe. )
