south beach diet phase one

hi, i started the south beach diet on april 12th and i am still in phase one, im trying to go an extra week since i feel really good and have had more energy then ever before! I dont know if that is ok but in my opinion, i am now eating more heathier then before the diet, ( i used to put sugar, and lots of it, in everything i cooked. I was very addicted to carbs. Now, sure i get a few sugar cravings thru out the day, but i find that plain yogurt, flavoured with slenda helps me out alot. So does sugar free jello. Now, i dont know how much weight i have lost, because i hate my scale, but my family has started to notice. In all honesty, i started this diet to lose weight, but i am sticking to it because i feel so great! I do not do portion control at all, i do not think i would have been able to stick to it of i did, but i do limit the amount of snacks and follow that closely. I will have 2 pieces of turky bacon and 2 to 3 eggs for breakfast for example. But i wont have more then 20 peanuts or more then my 75 calories of "sweet treats" such as sugar free popcicles. If i had to guess the amount of weight that i have lost, i would say 10 lbs. I was probably 190 before i started this and plan to begin phase 2 on monday May third.

If anyone would like to chat about it, feel free to drop me a line.

Hi Tazzzzy!

Great job with your success so far. Be sure to move to phase two in May, and just start adding things in slowly.

The South Beach is a great eating plan for life, and it's awesome that you're feeling the effects from it!

I have been on this plan since August of 2003, and I have reached many goals since then. Once you really get going, it's so so very easy to follow. Just keep on track!

:)
