Hi & welcome,

It's great to have you here. How did you do in your first week? I am starting Phase 2 tomorrow morning. I can't wait for a bowl of oatmeal. Good Luck!

I'm fairly new too...close to moving on to Phase 2. Breakfast is a hard one for me, miss crunchy things. Lost 5 lbs, then had a weak day this past Sunday, feel as if I've gained it all back. That 3:00 slump every afternoon is brutal...I'm eating nuts or string cheese but what I really want is a big blended Frappuccino with double shots of expresso...guess I'm human!

Good morning,

I also was on the atkins. I just needed more varity. I do miss the convient prepackaged foods. I hate to cook!!!! I loved the advantage bars and the endulge chocolate miss them.

In the long run I think this is by far a healthier choice. Tell me a little more about yourself. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Heidi and all fellow south beachers,

I am on day 2 and I guess I'm doing OK. I was pretty hungry a couple of times yesterday, so I am trying to combat that by making my meals for fulfilling. I am always running late in the morning, so I usually just have a protein shake. Even with a small snack in the morning, I am still really hungry. I'm gonna try to get up earlier tomorrow and make eggs. I also made some yummy vegetable soup last night and I ate it before dinner and it really curbed my appetite. I brought some for lunch today to have before my salad. I hope I can be successful on this. The biggest problem is my enormous appetite. I feel really strongly the need to lose weight. My wedding rings are too tight and they hurt. Sometimes I can't even get them on and I have had to buy new clothes to fit because I put on so much weight. Let's try to keep motivating each other because this is really important. Talk to you soon!

Caroline
