Ok everyone!
I had my official one week weigh in this morning after being on the South Beach diet for 1 full week.
Remember, the first 2 weeks is a cleaning out phase, eliminating sugar and carbs (nothing white, potatoes, rice, bread, sugar, etc.) I am eating breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner w/sugar free dessert).
Are ya ready? Are ya sure?
I have lost 13 LBS!!!!!!!!!!! Larry is also on the diet and has lost between 13 and 14 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a motivation to continue! I am having trouble w/veggies but the nutricionist on the SBD website responded to my dilema and told me that I need to introduce phase 2 foods into my diet and maybe drink more V8 juice to replace the veggies.
From now on the weight loss should be slower but steady.
I am so excited! I feel better, have more energy and am DETERMINED to do this. I have a wedding in June and am NOT going to wear the size dress I had to try on a few weeks ago!
Lots of motivation here!
Ok, we will see what week two does!
Love to all,
Mars

That's amazing Mars. 
What is the South Beach Diet? I need to lose weight but by the sounds of the one you are on it may cut out the only stuff I can safely eat at the moment.
Keep up the good work & you will be super model material in no time.

I am so happy for you! That does it, I'm going to the library to get a book on South Beach - do you have any quick start instructions for me?
Love, Marsha

Congratulations Mars!!!!!!!
Being a lifetime Weight Watcher I know how hard it can be but you have definitely given it the right start. Congrats to hubby too.
Don't want to be a downer but do it for YOURSELF and not for a dress that others see.
Love, Maggie
