My name is Mindi!

[Mindi L]

Hello to all you fellow South Beachers! My name is Mindi. I live in Wisconsin and have been on Phase I for 11 days. I have done really well and so far have lost 11 pounds! I want to lose another 40 pounds. When I started in January on a regular low fat/high exercise regime I weighed 205. So I have lost 20 pounds, not too shabby if I do say so myself. I exercise 6 days a week: 6 days of cardio and 3 days of strenght training. I'm almost down to my size 12's. Can't wait!

I almost cheated tonight so I decided I need support! My daughter is having a sleep over party so there are lots of snacks: pizza, chex mix, Rice Krispie bars, and a cake! I went as far as heating up 2 slices of pizza and told myself it'd be o.k. In the end I put the pizza down and mixed myself up a Ricotta Cheese dessert and I feel sooo much better about that choice!

Just here for moral support and a place to revert to when my cravings kick in and weakness begins to take over.

Looking forward to mingling!

Hi Mindi!! nice job on the pizza! Good thing it needed reheating to give you time to consider whether it was really worth it and you found that it wasn't! That's got to be a good feeling so hang onto that one the next time temptation hits again. At least you'll know that you were able to say no before and like developing any habit, it tends to get easier the more you practice those skills!

Welcome and mingle away!!

Hey Mindi....welcome. Im new here, as well. Today is day 6 of Phase One. I think it is great that you were able to make it through the "Pizza Incident" WOW, already on a plate and in the microwave, and you still pulled through. Sounds like you are a strong lady....thanks for sharing!
