I just posted my first message in the roll call above. I've been lurking for about 3 weeks now.

I started SBD 2 weeks ago and haven't lost any weight, so I'm hoping for some help! Here's some more info about me. When I got out of college 6 years ago, I saw a picture of myself that motivated me to lose weight. I was at 180 pounds at 5'4". I lost 30 pounds in the following months with Slim Fast, and I started exercising. Afterwards, I maintained 150 until last year when I decided to lose more weight. I started Fat Flush and lost another 15 pounds. I've been loosely sticking to Fat Flush for the past year (it's similar to SBD -- no pasta, bread, lots of veggies, but no dairy in the first phase). But FF is very strick, and I was becoming obsessive and unhappy about eating, so I needed a change. And I was starting to feel too deprived and rebelling against my inner "Don't eat that!" voice. After gaining back 2 pounds, I decided to start SBD.

I read the book and read this board every day, so I think I have a good sense of what I'm doing. And after FF, it's no big change for me. I'm thrilled to be able to eat cheese and dairy without guilt. Here's what I'm eating today:

8:00 Breakfast: 1 quiche cup, 5 oz. V-8

10:00 Snack: 1 cup plain non-fat yogurt with vanilla extract and Stevia Plus sweetener

11:15 Snack: string cheese

11:45-1:00 exercise: ran 2 miles + elliptical for 1/2 hour

1:15 Lunch: about 4 oz. leftover salmon with big spinach salad (spinach, 4 olives, red peppers, mushrooms, fat-free feta, 1 tablespoon light Newman's Own vinaigrette), sugar-free Jell-o

4:00 Snack: roasted broccoli, string cheese

6:00 Dinner: Grilled chicken caesar salad. No dressing or croutons

7-10 Exercise: Moderate swimming in scuba certification class

10:15 Snack: 1 tablespoon natural peanutbutter mixed with 1 no sugar added fudgesicle with a little Reddi Whip Lite.

I'm very active and do aerobics 5-6 times a week and lift weights 3-4 days a week. I'm afraid the weight may be coming off very slowly because this WOE is not a big change for my body, but please give me any suggestions you have. I did cheat once in the past two weeks with red wine, but other than that have been faithful to the plan. And I'm leaving for a week in the Caribbean in a week and half, so I hope I can lose something before then!

Thank you.

Christine
