Phase 1 support group

I everyone! I'm still in my 3rd week of Phase One (I'm extending it to 4 weeks). I started the diet on April 7th.

As of this morning, I am down 10.6 pounds! YAY!! I was expecting to have it off after the end of the 2nd week, but that's okay. I'm glad it's finally gone, now!

I haven't cheated, but I had a dream the other night that I was at a Christmas party with all these people I didn't know. The room was dark and I sat down to eat and my plate had spaghetti and french bread on it. lol. Those are two things my family would never dream of serving at a holiday dinner, but I guess I dreamt about them because I could eat spaghetti and french bread every day. lol. Anyway, I started eating, and I got about half way done before I realized what I was doing! lol.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Mandee,

That was a funny dream. I haven't had one like that. I more just day dream about what I will look like as I take better care of myself and lose weight.
Along with doing south beach, I am also waiting on a book that I ordered that will encourage things subliminally....

I think part of my issue is that I am depressed....or disappointed in myself that I let myself go for so long and now I have this hill I have to climb.

Anyway...I will catch up with everyone again soon...

I'd love to be in the support Group. I can read the threads on my lunch hour which is 12:30 p.m. EST. I need some good recipes also.

FWIW, there really isn't anyone here anymore.

**dleblanc** · 05-18-2010

I'm at the point that I want to eat, eat, eat! Not bad foods, just eat. I need some support so that I do not go off the diet.

Ok, thanks

If you want to eat, eat more veggies!

Those are really the only thing that are truly unlimited.

Include some amount of beans/legumes daily too. Lots of good carbs and the fiber will help with P1 constipation (if that is a problem) and overall energy levels and they tend to stay with you longer hunger-wise than other forms of veggies. A serving of beans is 1/3-1/2 cup but you can have more than one serving in a day, just not together. Homemade chili with SB friendly ingredients is always a great P1 meal and if you make a big batch you can freeze or refrigerate some in small servings for snacks too that can be easily reheated.

Im definitly interested, I will be starting on Phase one on Monday Aug 1, I was on a couple of years ago, was hard to stay on it and I got bored. I've been on Nutrisystem for a couple weeks and I cant really afford it, really need a lot of support!
