Hi,

My name is Jennifer and i started the SBD today. I found it ok. I feel weak and have a little headache. I am missing the foods I use to eat but I realize that this is a way of living healthy.

How was your day?

How much do you want to lose?

Are you exercising?

Let's get each other's emails and become buddies thru this journey.

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone's days were successful! And if not - tomorrow will be better!


My day went well, I think. Although I'm kinda hungry right now. Well not really hungry, but just really want something to munch on. Had too many snacks today already... No headache though!

I want to lose about 25 lbs.

Well, not really. Walking for 20 -30 minutes. We will try to make the walk at least a three times a week kinda thing. We walk much more during the summer, but it;s hard to get out when it's cold outside. Also, I'm looking into taking a class at the gym. The only one that fits my schedule is a Pilates class. I'm not sure I want to take that. Anyone tried it?

Good luck tomorrow!

Anna

Hey there. Im on day two but with so many people starting today I figure 'close enough' right? Its hard to remember how my days been since Ive spent it struggling to function in spite of the headache.

I am 250 now, with a goal of 150 although I havent been that since I was 18 and dont know if its realistic. But when I get below 200 I will definately throw a huge party lol.

I havent started exercising yet, but have been doing some stretching. I'll start with just getting myself more flexible (which I guess is a little exercise) and do my yoga tapes. As my knees get better and my flexibility improves Ill step it up more. I do have hand weights that I'll probbly start using too.

You can email easily by clicking on my id. Or you can reach me on yahoo messenger (gipsimomma)

Truly,

Amy

Hi everyone!

My first day was very good. I haven't missed any of the "no-no" foods today, well maybe except the Krispy Kreme donut on top of the fridge. LOL I was good though, and didn't eat anything that I wasn't supposed to.

Got all my needed water in, plus took a brisk walk around and neighborhood and used some weights.

My willpower is still good, and I hope to really stick with this diet.

My email is Savadafre@comcast.net

Write anytime!

Good luck tomorrow, everyone!

Hi, I started today too!! I went on SBD last summer and lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and I am hoping to see similar results.

Today I was good and I exercised on my threadmill for 25 minutes (walking at 3.5MPH).

During the afternoon I was feeling hungry and headachy but that might be b.c I skipped lunch (DOH!) I had eggs and tomato juice for breakast, two mozzarella stick for snacks (in the AM and the PM), and four pieces of Healthy Choice chicken breast lunchmeat with calories free mustard. For dinner, I had asparagus, chicken, and a salad with a little Just 2 Good dressing.

I am using Fit Day to track my progress. www.fitday.com

If anyone wants a SBD buddy, feel free to email me at aliahparis at yahoo.com

I started today too. I didn't have any headaches today, but those will come. Welcome to sugar/caffeine withdrawal. It takes a couple days to get throught it.

Unfortunately, that means that I have been doing something wrong to need to be here going through the sugar DTs again. Oh well. I planned to start running again today, but didn't get to it on my lunch hour. I did some sculpt/lift stuff though.

Pilates -- love it. At first it doesn't seem like much but it does a great job of strengthening your core muscles (stomach, back) and the odd little exercizes work. And, it stretches you out well too. I don't get nearly enough stretching in and wish I could still afford to take my pilates classes. I'm going to try to fit in the video once a week or so.

Best to everyone -

I'm now on Day 2...Yesterday, I almost slipped at dinner time... It went really well during the day, but by the time I got home I had to fight real hard not to have a piece of fruit before dinner. Even while I cooked dinner for the kids/husband I was tempted to have a piece of my son's potato. The only thing that kept me from not having carbs was the fact that I knew I would have to come back today and tell how I did. Thanks y'all!!!

Today so far is going well...made a chef salad for lunch...

I'm new here as well & yesterday was my first day on the diet. I'm hoping to lose 22 pounds but would be very happy to start with just losing 7! I wasn't hungry until I got home last night & wanted my usual snack while making dinner but I didn't do it. I actually feel pretty good today & I'm not a huge caffeine drinker so I haven't really had any headaches. I just need motivation to keep this up!

Current weight 147

Goal 125

Hello everyone,

My day went good. I do have a major headache today and I miss my Coke!

I am all prepared today and hope everything goes well.

We are going to my inlaws this weekend, Brother inlaw is on leave from Iraq so I am hoping everything will go well. It is a six hour drive... perfect time for coke and chips. That will be the tough part!

Good luck to all!

Hi,

I started on Sunday. I have done pretty good so far I think. I am hungry right now though. I had two eggs and two slices of bacon for breakfast. for lunch, I had a salad with lf ham on it and a sf jello. It's only been 2 hours and I'm hungry!!! My headache isn't as bad today though. I am really excited about this and am determined to lose weight. I went to the gym yesterday and walked on the treadmill. I didn't use any of the machines but I intend to do that today. I plan to walk at least 30 minutes and then work out on the machines.

I need to lose 60 lbs by the way.

This is my second day and I'm doing pretty well. I just keep telling myself "It's JUST 2 weeks" (for phase 1).

I am 5'2 and 120. I want to lose about 7-10 pounds. I'm getting married in september and I"m going to vegas next month on vacation.

Yesterday was a little tough becuase I was a little tired and achey in my neck. But I didn't feel hungry. I got to eat things I like. So I can't really complain.

I think i can see what will be difficult or what sneaks into my regular eating habits too much is the snacks that come up at work and late night TV snacks.

But I can do it. I deserve it!
