Thank you sooo much for those recipes! It's my first week and I'm doing really well so far but I think I may start to get bored of salads with grilled chicken VERY shortly!

Re: South Beach Diet Thread!!!
I made this and it was very tasty, however I used part skim ricotta instead
Chicken Capri -
1 cup reduced fat ricotta
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup crushed tomatoes
4 slices reduced fat mozzarella cheese
In blender or food processor, combine the ricotta with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Process to blend.
Rub the chicken with the garlic powder. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 12 minutes per side. Place the chicken breasts, side by side, in a large baking dish and allow to cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spoon 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture and 1/4 cup tomatoes onto each chicken breast. Top each breast with 1 slice mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the breast registers 170 degrees and the juices run clear.
Makes 4 servings.

It hasn't been a good weekend. I forgot about eating yesterday because I was at work, so my dinner my eggplant rollatine (not the low-carb version) and a slice of cake
AND I had a bagel this morning for breakfast That week on regular WW has messed up my carb cravings (I switched over to Core, which is more like SB). I need to start anew tomorrow. I have a wedding tonight, so I'm sure there will be some more cake in my future
ETA: I find myself very amused by the synchronized blush icons.

Re: South Beach Diet Thread!!!
lol... i love those blush icons too
I also have a wedding tonight and hoping that I have the willpower to control myself.
I just keep repeating my mantra to myself:" nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".... it seems to help me overcome my desire to eat bad.
I plan on staying on phase another 2 weeks because i am doing so well, we will see how that works out. 10 more pounds to go :)
Good luck starting again tomorrow...after a few days the cravings are decreased alot!!!

Thanks! I was such a carb queen in the old days (seriously, I asked DH to buy me a bread machine for my birthday back then) and I really don't want to go back to that, so it's time to get back on track.
I feel like such an idiot for eating so poorly, especially since I went dress shopping yesterday and fit into a dress 2 sizes smaller than my last shopping trip a few months ago. I definitely don't want to lose that feeling just so I can have carbs and bad fat.
Good luck at the wedding tonight!! At least I know I can't overdo it on the champagne since I have more work to do when I get home

I totally cheat on the weekends, too many parties!!!! I *try* to eat well but def have drinks and sweets on weekends. so far so good, havent gained anything. I noticed though that during the week when I am super strict I am not hungry but on the weekends I am starving!!! I guess thats b/c I sneak in carbs on the weekends
those recipes are AWESOME
So funny you mention this because I too find this to be true. Oh well!!! I am happy to report that after a stall in weight loss for one week, on Saturday I lost 3 more pounds (oh and I'm pmsing big time) I really think this has to be my lifetime way of eating (despite the cheating). This plan is very similar to what my nutritionist recomends.
