Hi all, it is Day 6 of Phase One and I feel so great mentally and physically! I have been eating right, drinking tons of water, and feeling better about myself. I have lost a few pounds (I haven't weighed myself) and I just feel better not gorging myself with food. I don't have any cravings. I serve my toddler alot of my favorite foods (french fries, chicken nuggests, corn, Cram of Wheat, oatmeal, etc) and I have been strong.

I ordered 8 Minutes Abs, Arms, Legs, and Buns and also Pilates for Weight Loss. This is the first time in my life that I am actually being proactive about losing weight without starving myself and without diet pills. I feel very proud of myself. I have along way to go. My goal is to drop the weight and firm up by April 1st!

Congratulations! I'm on day 6 of Phase I also. I'm not sure what the scales saying at the moment, as I haven't weighed today, but my stomach is definitely deflating! Keep up the good work! Almost halfway through Phase 1!

I'm getting a much deeper sleep, have more energy and I've noticed an improvement in my complexion too!

I was just sitting here thinking the exact same thing!!! I FEEL SO GOOD!! I have tons of energy, I am in a better mood towards my family, and I have lost 14lbs to boot!! This morning we had a "family Day" with the kids. We went to IHOP for Bfast. My DH had a huge plate of pancakes (which believe it or not...no craving....not a one....and I LOVE pancakes!!) and I had a veggie omelet. Right now he feels sluggish and tired and I have been buzzin around the house looking for things to clean.....AMAZING!!! I have never felt this good in my life. I am getting things done that I have put off for months!

This Sunday is the end of Phase 1 for me. I am going on a business trip this week, but I am going to try to remain on Phase 1 while I am gone (I don't want to give myself in room for error.

Aliah, I think you & I are in the same boat. Since having kids (2 1/2 & 15 m) I have not done anything for myself or my body. I am doing Pilates and the treadmill at least 5-6 times a week and I have suddenly found this amazing will-power that I never thought I could have. Keep up the great work!!!

I am in love with the SBD!!!

Aliah, I agree, this diet makes me feel sooo good. I think that sometimes we focus too much on the weight loss ( even if that is why we started SBD), and not enough on how cutting sugars and carbs makes you feel better. I have so much more energy since I started (am on phase one day 13), and I think my overall attitude is better.
