South Beach Diet

!
I am new to the SBD. I have just finished reading the book and I
plan on doing my shopping this weekend and starting the diet on
Saturday or Sunday.
I have tried them all. I did Atkins once but got sick on it and had
to stop. I’ve been on weight watchers and have only gained weight.
I know that I am totally addicted to carbs and sugar. I have chronic
headaches and am hoping that getting off the sugar will help with
that as well. I need to loose about 50lbs….my clothes no longer
fit an I refuse to buy a new wardrobe the next size up…this has to
work!
I look forward to getting to know yall better!

Hi everyone,
I just joined your group, but started South Beach June 30th. I have
lost 21 pounds and 13 3/4 inches and it has been nearly three weeks
since I last weighed so I have dropped more by now.
I find this to be a lifestyle of eating I can be happy with. I like
to cook anyway, so have really enjoyed trying new recipes in the book
and modifying some of my own favorites to be healthy eating.
I have a confession though…I have become addicted to sugar-free
popsicles!

Hi
My name is Karen and just heard about this group. I’ve had surgery
GBS 3 1/2 yrs ago lost 160lbs. Felt like this was a piece of cake.
Then 6 months ago I started to gain weight, I was right it’s to good
to be true. My old habits of snacking came back. I am really feeling
like a failure and with that what do you do with those feelings is
soothe them with food.
I was going to counseling ever week but things never got better.
Never could find the real root of the problem.
When I had GBS I was 290 got down to 130lbs looked like I was
dying.Then gained 15lbs on purpose and was told that i was still to
thin and now I weigh 170lbs and don’t fit into my clothes and
everybody is commenting me on how much weight I gained and how I
should watch it. (boy that really hurts which makes me feel more like
a failure). I’m going to start the SBD and would love to talk to
anybody who has experinced simiular situation as I have.
PLease any help or advise would really help.
Than You, Karen

Hi Everyone,
I want to thank everyone for all the help. I am leaving the group,
not by choice. I have been diagnosis with breast cancer and I don’t
think I will be on the computer much.
Thanks again,

Good Morning,
Sue O, have you had a movement lately. Could the pain be gas and
bloating?
I’m so happy to see some posts on this message board. It had been
beginning to look a bit like a ghost town. IF a message board is
fairly active, I don’t even bother with the e-mails since I like to
be able to post immediately if I think I have something worthwhile
to contribute to a thread.
Good luck to all as you step on the scale this morning.

My groups list says that there are 72 members in this group, but so
far there have only been 30 messages posted there. None of us are
going to benefit from this group if no one uses it. Let’s breathe
some life in to it AND get healthier with this great way of eating.
For me this is a lifestyle change NOT a diet.
