Well Well it's been a LONG time

KyliesMom · 04-08-2008, 08:43 AM

but I'm back because I would REALLY like to get to my GOAL of 135 Before 2009. I have forgotten many Beach principles but I will renew as I read. My BIGGEST problem seems to be is I DON'T do ARTIFICIALS! So I'm look for people that also do the beach without them. Is there anyone else out there

or am I on my own

Or is anyone else interested in trying

Anyway I'm back and hopefully here to stay for a while.

back.

by artificials do you mean artificial sweetners?

KyliesMom · 04-08-2008, 01:14 PM

I mean all artificial - they reek havoc

on my head so I need to keep them to a min. Plus - they are so bad for you anyway

Welcome back. You will find kindred spirits here.

I don't do artificial sweeteners, either. Can't stand the taste anymore, which is odd because we used to use Splenda quite frequently. One day, after being on SB for several weeks, I realized I could taste it in my treat. Never used it again. For me, I find that I don't want my WOE to be about depriving myself. So I make choices. I did a perfect Phase 1 and really cut a lot of cravings. I don't use FF or LF cheese since I don't like the quality of them. I just use 1/2 the amount called for in any recipe. As for the sugar, I don't have much - but if I want to make a special treat, I just look for the least amount of sugar used in a recipe and sometimes I even cut that in half when I make it. This may not work for everyone but it's working for me (and my husband). I'm down 16 and he's down 20. Good luck!

That's WONDERFUL!

Congrats on your loss - maybe we should team UP and share insightfulness! I would love

to have a support group that loses, eats healthy, and stays away from artificial - are you up for it? or anyone else?

why don't you guys join us on the daily check in thread. Not everyone stays away from artificial (myself included

) but it is a great place for motivation and support.
