South Beach Diet

Okay fellow April losers ~~ have a question for you. Have any of you done South Beach -- and for how long. I'm pretty much stuck (like for the last 3-4 mo) and want to get this going again. I've kicked up my exercise & water too. I spend most of my time running to the bathroom!!! I'm meeting with a new personal trainer on Monday to get some insight there also. I've only been doing Phase I for a few days and so far it looks promising. I hate this no carb part though. I'm missing out on my yogurt and apples. Anybody have suggestions and/or feedback on their experiences? I want to lose another 20 lbs to get to my personal goal. My lowest weight was one day in January (160) and never saw it again!! As always ~~ thanks for your support!!! Janie 272/165/145?

Sorry, I haven't tried it, what works for me when I stall is to increase my protien, I will usually add a second protien shake in the evenings. Dianne 340/159/140

Sorry to butt in... hope you don't mind Here's my personal experience... I was in the same boat, except I only gained 2.5 pounds once (freaked me out!!!) and since I lost them again, I've stayed at the same weight for over a month. I know MY main issue was letting the carbs get back into my diet. I started logging what I ate in http://www.fitday.com and HOLY MOLLY! Without really realizing it, my carb intake was much too high. I'm not talking just the goldfish crackers (my weakness ) but fruits and other foods (like Special K!) which may be healthier, but have high sugar and/or carb content nonetheless... N-E-way... Long story short, I decided to jumpstart my weight loss and seriously get back to basics, so I'm on phase 1 of the South Beach "diet". I don't want to say anything officially yet, because I weigh in on Mondays, but I expect Monday to FINALLY be able to say I'm in the century club! The South Beach "diet" plan is basically doing what they told us we needed to do when we had our surgery. Stay away from the sugars, eat the right carbs in small amounts... If any of you are interested, here's a good site with info: http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/ It's definitely getting me right back in track with the correct eating habits, which I needed desperately. I know you are asking "for how long"? Well, IMHO... this is no "diet", but actually the way we are supposed to be eating anyway... right?
