Hello everyone!
My name is Lisa and my husband and I started the South Beach diet yesterday, December 1, 2003. I weighed in at 282.5 pounds. My first goal is to lose 10% of my body weight or about 28 pounds. The initial part of the SB program is called Phase I and this is day two for us. I think I am beginning to feel that "out of sorts" feeling I have been reading about that one can go through on a low carb program. I hope, as I have read, that these feelings subside in a few days. I will say that yesterday afternoon was the first time I can remember in years that I didn't want to crawl under the desk and take a nap after lunch. Benefits from day 1, how nice!
My ultimate goal is to be at a healthy weight (somewhere between 125-150 pounds). I haven't been in that weight range in over 20 years so I'll have to wait until I get close to those numbers to figure out what weight I'll be comfortable at.
I plan on using my exercise bike daily, drinking lots of water and staying on program, no cheating.
Food:
Yesterday, I had a cheese, ham and mushroom omelet for breakfast, string cheese for a mid-morning snack, tomato stuffed tuna on a bed of lettuce for lunch, 7 whole almonds for a mid-afternoon snack and due to circumstances beyond our control, DH and I split a grilled sirloin burger and I had a salad with ice tea (sweetened with Splenda). For dessert I had a sugar free fudgesicle. I was still hungry late in the evening so I had another string cheese.
Exercise/Water:
Exercise Bike for 30 minutes (about 7.5 miles)
7 mugs of water (not sure of the ounces but I use my DVC Hilton Head mug so I assume the mug can hold at least 16 oz.)
I'll try to post here each day with my progress. It is wonderful to have a place like this to record my feelings and food intake. If anyone would like to make comments, they are welcome. I hope everyone has a great day!
