Hi everyone! I see so many people I know here, thank God! Kinda like being in a gym.

Hey, today was day 4 of phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. I'm over the cravings, and eating well and healthy, and not starving! This is too cool.

Every morning I do 45 min of cardio aerobics, I'm going to be looking ready for the beach a little after beach season, but WTH.

Thanks, Tweety, for telling me about this thread; I'll be around!

Congratulations, and good luck to us all!

Welcome to the thread Don!

Thanks Zoe and Hiker. Zoe, Hi Muffie! I'm not necessarily going to South Beach it. I can't tolerate the phase one of no carbs, although some good weight can be lost during that phase. But I did grab a South Beach dinner for lunch at work last night. I think it's a very good diet.

I also ate a lot of fruit. Peaches, blueberries and mangos are all cheap and on sale this week!! (Don't read this Don, you can't have in Phase I)

I'm up early to take my family to the airport, so I probably am not going to make to the gym before work. But I'll stick to my goal of 4 days a week and hopefully can make that by week's end.

Welcome to the thread Don, hope you continue to share how and what you're doing. I really admire what you're doing. The Phase I and the exercise are really going to show a good weight loss this week, I just know it! But watch out for the muscle weight gain too, that throws some people off. The important thing is how you feel.

Sweaty and stinky? Me????

Actually, I'm off to the gym and I haven't even showered from work last night. Definately stay away from me when I get back. The joys of living alone though. LOL

Hi all!

Sorry for my absenteeism. Traveled with DH to a job interview in Denver. We drove - 1500 miles round trip later I feel like a giant blob of silly putty.

Started a new class this week, Nursing Concepts. While it is very cool to be able to go to school and still travel, it is NOT easy to write papers while on the road! DH did most of the driving yesterday so I could get my reading assignments caught up. Am still having periodic moments of 'What have I done to myself now?' lol!

Tweety - I am saying the Tweety prayer now and also recommitting to exercise! It has been non-existent for about 2 weeks, only partially due to travel.

Don - welcome!! South Beach as worked pretty well for me. I need a few days back on Phase 1 to get back on the wagon here.

Hi to all! Need to read back a few pages and catch up.

Later!

I'm doing o.k. I took a day off from the diet yesterday, but was good up until then. :)

Nice to hear from your Blue. Internet classes rock!
