Let's try out the SB once again

It is so cliché to start a diet on a Monday, so I want to see how a Wednesday will treat me. I have done the South Beach diet before, but never could make it a lifestyle. I know to fully make this diet completely work, I would have to do that. But by being a college student I rarely have time to fully prepare meals, so I have been using the South Beach diet more as a guide in what the majority of my food choices are.
As everyone knows college students tend to gain weight, which I have defintely done since high school, probably 20 pounds and it is not easy getting it off. I am fairly active (Cardio for about an hour/30 minutes weight traning- 5 days a week) but the scale rarely ever moves. So I am going back on SB Phase 1 for a week then Phase 2 for a week and then back to my modified Phase 3, to show me some results to keep me motivated and in the gym. I've hit a plateau and want to feel comfortable and good about my appearance again, so I would really appreciate some support on my way to loose about 15 pounds. Thanks and good luck to you all on your dieting journeys.

Hi & welcome back to the beach.
Well, if that works for you....
But, remember that a treat here and there on phase 2 is okay and doesn't mean you blew the whole thing.
