Hi just wanted to introduce myself ! and say hi to everyone, I have been lurking around the South Beach forums for the past few weeks. and have made up my mind to join....

I did Atkins for 2 months and lost 22 lbs, but I miss certain foods and I have been reading every post I can on SB really seems the answer for me...

I have not gotten the book yet but I will pick up this weekend.

I must say justmarvi you have posted some wonderful information !

Thanks!

GoodGRL0327Dallas,

thanks so much! We're so glad you decided to join in with us too and be sure and join us in the other threads, it's a real family here.

SBD is definitely a good way of life.

Congrats on the weight loss, are you beginning on Phase 1 or 2 after being on Atkins?

All you really need to know, since you don't have the book yet, is in the food list stickies at the top of the forum index.....also, take a look at the SBD--Dodging the slippery slope thread, we're learning the whys of it! We're always here for support too.

Have a good one and chime right in!

I started on SB and went to atkins and now I am back on the Beach because I missed certain things and I like eating leaner. It's good to have you here!

Ok, to be honest I haven't been following this to the T but I will start again.

I am still the same haven't gained any... still eating whole grain cereals and low fat cheeses ect...

Only 5 Weeks Until I Hit 23 ! !
I have Basically been on phase II SB..... and stayed between 175-180.
Now it's time to kick it up a notch...

Mini Goal
I want to hit 160 by October 21st

I am going back to the phase I.

Have go admit a few cheats here and there...

New Day One on the Beach ( Starting Phase 1 ) again..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today went grocery shopping, stocked up on eggs and yogurt and turkey bacon... and other stuff.... doing good... For breakfast I had some tuna and water... found some coupon on Sundays' paper for the Smart Balance, Laughing Cow Cheese, Yougurts - Good stuff...Man, I found this awsome treadmill on clearance it's a $600 but was on sale for $328...too bad I didn't budget for that this week... . Donated some $$ to the American Red Cross Hurricane relief... God bless all those people effected by this... On with day one...
