I think that I should come out of lurkdom and finally introduce myself.My name is Ruby, my DH is on deployment and i want to surprise him with a new me. I was 203 lbs when he left 2 months ago. And as of monday, i was 187lbs. 


I have been on the SBD for almost 3 weeks. I lost 10 lbs the first 2 weeks. I was supposed to start Phase 2 last monday, but i fet guilty that i cheated last sunday, and also i could not grocery shopping until today friday.So you could say that i started a mix of Phase 1with a little bit of Phase 2 last wednesday...


I am about to go grocery shopping and I though that it would be easier if i sit down and write my meal plan for the next 2 weeks and then get what my grocery list from there...but gosh i think that i am too overwhelmed with all the things that i need!!!


I really want to try the recipes from the books (both the cookbook and the SB book) as much as possible... I think that it should be easier just to follow than come up with something and then mess up...kwim?


I have read all the links that you provide, (and BOY where those helpful, thank you)but i still want to try all this neat recipes that you girls post, and it just seems like my grocery list is soooooo long!!


Any ideas on an easy way that i can organize myself at the store?Should i not grocery shopping for 2 weeks? go every weekend or something?I know that i should be looking for things that are 3g of sugar or less...any other helpful "tips" to make grocery shopping less stressful for a beginner like me?


I really good friend of mine was going to go grocery shopping with me( she kind of started me in the SBD and also comes to this board)...but i was thinking that i need to learn to do this on my own...LOL


I think that this board is GREAT, you girls have such an awesome amount of info here...that anytime i am not sure about something...i come and check the board really quick...THANK YOU
