I did South Beach Feb. of 2005 when I needed to lose 15 lbs after having my son. I lost it all in just 2 months and life was grand! Being a previous fitness instructor and working out plenty, it was pretty simple keeping it off. However I no longer teach (and am not working out nearly as much as I used to) and have not been eating SB style as much as I should these past 6-8 mo and have now put on 9-10 lbs! So I am back to 'detox' and get back on track. Today is my first day on P1 and so far so good. I am so happy and excited about eating better and getting back into working out ~ therefore being healthier and having my clothes fit much better.....(I have still been fitting into the same jeans but gosh they are snug!, LOL).


I relied so much on this board when I did SB before. And everyone was so helpful. It is so great to come here and see many of the same great people......Maggie, Cathy and MichaelAnn........you guys are such inspirations (Maggie & Cathy you both still look fantastic and WOW MichaelAnn you got so trim and fit.....way to GO!!) and you are all so nice. Its so great that you are still here helping others.


Not sure if you remember me, I had a different screen name then,  I think it was "thesnowmommie"


I am happy to be back at the beach!!

HEY GUYS!! Glad I am remembered :-)

Yes Maggie I do remember getting you into spin! I almost put that in my post, LOL! That is awesome that you are still at it! It is the best workout and so satisfying. I recently cancelled my gym membership so I no longer go. BUT...I actually bought a great mountain bike and was riding on Saturdays before my schedule got crazy with moving and my new job, kids, etc.
However I vow to make working out a priority again and the bike comes out this SAT!! . I'm going to ride out for at least 5 miles one to two days a week. Also I am walking & jogging the track one or two other days a week. My DH and I are setting up our weight bench in the garage this weekend so that we can get back into strength training too. So with this combo of working out and eating the way I should I think I should be back in shape in no time. YAY!!

I always said that as long as you eat right 85 - 90 % of the time you can maintain just fine but I goofed up when I went to 50/50 and greatly cut back on the working out. Thank goodness SB is here to save me! LOL!

Hi Joy, glad you joined the group. Oh does anyone know, is Karen still around, I remember her too.

I am sure I will have some questions and I will be posting my progress. I am cooking Salmon and asparagas for dinner and will have a salad with it too, looking forward to it. I might have some ricotta with vanilla for desert too!

See ya
Nicol
