Good morning everyone. I just want to encouraqge everyone. Now that the heat wave has dissipated (at least for those of us in the mid-west) maybe we can all focus better onour woe. I am afraid I have been over doing the cheese thing but am still sure that I have had a pretty good loss. It seems to me that my tummy is shrinking ever so slightly. At least I hope so. How are you all doing?

Hey Joes, Glad it's cooling off a little where you are....we aren't too bad here...still too hot for outdoor recreation -- for me-- but not as bad as it could be....way to go on feeling that stomach getting smaller....that is where I carry the majority of my weight so it is what I'm always looking for.....keep up the good work!

J&L's, great job on those losses, girl! That's awesome.

I say let's keep this train rolling......I know I don't want to stop and then have to get started again....so I say "No Stopping!"

Have a great day,

Anita

I hope so too!!!!

You deserve to see a nice loss when you weigh in because you're working so hard towards it.
I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you, but I'm sure you won't need it.

Sorry...

Hello guys

Sorry i have been away for so long. Just like to say Congratulations to all the wonderful losses and i'm so proud of everyone!
I'd just like to apologize that i am withdrawing myself from this challenge... sorry for the bad news, especially while you guys are working so hard. I feel like a party pooper

It's just after that one slip up, i sort of saw doom coming again

I actually managed to do alright for the day after that, and then more events came at me with such short notice i ended up letting loose again.
I have not exactly given up on myself yet, thank goodness. I've decided that i will probably switch over to the Carbohydrates Addicts Diet/Lifespan Program and see how i do on it. It is really soo different from South Beach but in many ways, it fits into my lifestyle a lot better. I don't like the fact that Broccoli and tomatoes are only supposed to be eaten very moderately

But i'm sure theres not TOO much adjusting to. I guess i really needed some more flexibility. I probably won't be losing as quickly as you here on South Beach can, but I suppose a steady loss might be easier to maintain

I hope it is okay if i still stick around here sometimes just to see how well everyone is doing

I'm still very excited about Sunday for everyone in this challenge

Happy Losing!

Pink

Oh, pink. I hate to see you give up. One slip doesn't mean failure. but I do understand looking for a woe that you can live with. And we have missed you here. Our thoughts will be with you as you continue on your weight loss journey. do stop by for a visit every so often so we know how you are doing.

Weel, tomorrow is the big day. I can't wait to weigh myself. As expected the only thing lc at the family reunion was the veggie tray. Even the meat was full of honey or rice or whatever. Did I indulge? Yes, I'm afraid I did, after eating a plate full of veggies. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have provoked any carb cravings. I got through the dinner at church just fine today by just having the meat and the brocolli salad. There were a few carbs in that but just a few ramen noodles broken up so i wasn't too concerned. Well, here is hoping for a good outcome in the a.m. I sure hope those carbs on Saturday don't affect the scale tomorrow!

Sounds like to me you made great choices at your church dinner and family reunion, so I can't imagine that's going to slow you down....keep up the good work, and see ya back here in the morning.

Well, my re-start has definitely got off to a good start

I'm down another 4lbs this week, which makes a total of 11lbs for the two weeks I've been following SB Phase I

I'm now moving on to Phase II, and although I don't expect to see those kind of losses again, I hope that my weight will continue its downward trend

joesfolks ~ good luck with your weigh in today

I will check back later to see how you've done
