I bought the small guide book today and will start Monday (my mom is visiting thru Sunday and I don't want to be deprived or cheat).

I'm still not sure what I will have for breakfast since I don't eat eggs.

How about reduced fat greek yogurt? You can turn it into a smoothie, too.

Doing pretty well.... already down 5 pounds over the last 4 days.

Had a staff breakfast at work today and totally didnt even think about eating and baked goods. Was very proud of my will power!!!

Re: SB Diet Take Two! Anybody wants to join?

So frustrated week one I lost 7 lbs and was doing great since then every day I gain 2-3 then lose the same 2-3 the next day. My 1 week weigh in was Tuesday and as of right now I am 1 lb up since them.

SO annoying I was really thinking I was going to be able to lose another 5 this week. I am doing everything the same and have not cheated. This happen to anyone else???

Also, question about phase 2. Are you only allowed to add back one carb AND one fruit back per week. Or is it EITHER 1 fruit or carb. The book is a little confusing about that.

A lot of the weight you lose the first week is water weight.
I would add one carb only at first and gradually add in a fruit(bananas are safest).

I am down 15 pounds so far!!
25 to go!

Can I get anyone's thoughts on this- I'm having an issue with eating. I'm just not enjoying it anymore.

I know the foods we are making now are healthier and better for us but I dont get the feeling of bliss I used to when I put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.

Is this a normal depression that my body is going through? I want to be able to eat for taste/pleasure rather and just to eat. But maybe thats the whole point- I shouldnt be doing that huh?

Jen, I'm going through the same thing now. The temptations are getting greater, and at just about 2 weeks into Phase 1, I thought they would have gone away. At a BBQ today, I did so good with a piece of plain chicken, but once the dessert came out, I couldn't keep my hand off the canoli's Not a good thing to eat! It's usaually the point in my diet where one treats leads to more and I end up giving up

I think it's the blandness of Phase 1. While I wanted to do it a little longer to get my body to lose more weight, I just can't. I look forward to phase 2, I just hope the weight keeps coming off. That's the incentive I need to keep going.

UGH!!! Totally pigged out today- all "allowed foods" but too many of them- 2 servings of nuts, 2 sugar free jello puddings.. I feel like a pig
I think I tried to make up for my sadness over carbs that I just went wild in my fridge.
I am dreading going on the scale tomorrow
