However, no matter what I do, I can never seem to lose weight... and quite frankly, TWICE this week, some less-than-tactful individuals have actually asked me if I was pregnant and commented on my "belly". Freaking people. I have been trying so very hard to do this the right way, but a regular diet and exercise is not doing it. I mean, I run 10 miles at a time, how does this weight not budge? Anyways, I heard about the South Beach Diet and it sounds healthful and like it makes sense, unlike dangerous fads out there... so I'm giving it a shot.
Has this diet from Phase 1 through maintenance made a difference to you? I would love to hear and desperately need hope from those of you who have come through on the other side.
Sad, and so very down on myself right now... and hoping this actually works because I'm feeling lost.

Hello and welcome!
Feel free to click on my success button to read my story as it will give you lots of inspiration about the South Beach Diet.
Yes, eating this way can help you regain your flat tummy...but too much cardio, ie: long runs a few times a week, can be counter productive to what your goal is at this time.
Think Pilates!! That will make you work your core and those are the muscles that need it now.
We have the food lists and meal plan guides for both phases I and II right here. The Meal plan guide shows you exactly how to eat this way and you get to pick from the foods lists. Lists and guides are located in our weekly weighin thread.
So....my very best to you as you go on this journey. Start a journal here and log all your food into it along with any thoughts, feelings or issues, so that we can help you.
