Hi All,
I have been lurking on this board since last week. Have read all the great advices from CLs and other board members. I think you all rock.
I had done SBD before starting in Jan 2004. I started with 152 lbs. In P1 ihad lost about 7 lbs and in p2 abt 11 lbs. Ended with 134 lbs. Lost total of 18 lbs. But then i discontinued as I got pregnant. Now I have a one year old son. and I still BF him.
Now My weight is way heigher than it should be. I started at 178 lbs.My target is 130 Lbs. So I have about 50 lbs to loose.
I started with P1 on 26th July. Today is 9th Day. In first 2-3 days I lost about 2 lbs but so change since then. What am I doing wrong? Here is my sample menu for past so many days:
Morning
1 cup Tea with 1/2 cup 99.5% Fat Free milk and Sugar subsitute (contains sucralose- hope that sfine as We dont get splenda here in India)
Breakfast :
2 egg whites hard boiled /omlette
+ stir fried red, greeb, yello peppers and musrooms
Snax
Cut up cucumber with 1 Tbs of hummus or Bean sprouts
Lunch (quantity not limited as I feel hungry due to BF)
Lentils - 1 and 1/2 cup
+ Green salad with lettuce, baby tomatoes, cucumber, sometimes add some black olives, sometimes garbanzo beans
+ SomE other cooked veges - like french beans, okra, cauliflower, cabbage any one
Snax
Cut up cucumber with 1 Tbs of hummus or Bean sprouts or 10-15 nuts
1 cup Tea with 1/2 cup 99.5% Fat Free milk and Sugar subsitute (contains sucralose- hope that sfine as We dont get splenda here in India)
Dinner
Lentils - 1 and 1/2 cup
+ Green salad with lettuce, baby tomatoes, cucumber, sometimes add some black olives, sometimes garbanzo beans
+ Some other cooked veges like french beans, okra, cauliflower, cabbage any one
+ 1 cup of 99.5% Fat free yogurt
I dont take any cheese. No non-veg. Should I be limiting my lentils/legumes and vegetables quantities? Does my menu look ok? Should I include/exclude anything? Just a note here that last time I did SBD i ate chicken during P1. Could that be the difference?
I am also trying to add some workout in my schedule. I have been doing (not regularly though) about 30 mins of brisk walk with some light weight training.
What am I doing wrong? Why am I not loosing any weight? I know you all can help me.
Thanks

Hi Shweta,
Welcome to the South Beach board.
Thanks for quick response Cathy.
And it is great that you are visiting India. Which part of India? I am sure you are going to enjoy this trip.
As for SBD, I started with P1 as I am planning to wean my son very soon so I though this may be a good start. Anyway, My supply is not affected and he is also on dairy and solids. Do you still think that I should immediately start P2?
Also I will cut down on legumes. But then what is the alternate source of protein for vegetarians to go on till next meal? I am sure without that protein, I am going to be hungry very soon?
Any more advice would be great.
Thanks
Shweta
Hi,
