New week up date

I just thought that I would share that I started the South Beach diet today I the request of my Suregon to jump start my weight loss and help me clean up my diet to get me back on track again plus it will help get rid of my major sweet tooth that I have been dealing with. Today is going pretty good I had eagg for break fast with glass of iced tea which I didn't drink for an hour I still have it I took my meds I didn't have nothing for lunch because I'm not hungry I will however take snack with me just in case I get hungry shhh don't tell doc sawyna I will be taking salad for supper which is left over from lastnights supper. I WILL be playing me Wii fit when I get home tonight form work. so far so good today.

I will have lots of water today as well. I did bring up in post in addation to cooking with everyone about starting walking group on the weeking and maybe weeknights when we have off since the weather is getting nice. Just some food for thought let me know what you think of that  well must get ready to head off to work.

Congrats on your first day of south beach and getting back on track

One word of caution - eat your 3 meals even if you aren't very hungry. You need to get in a certain amount of calories / protein etc or else your metabolism doesn't work right. Gotta feed the machine!

Keep up the great work!

Great job getting back on the wagon.  I agree with Liz eat something so that your body doesn't go into starve mode.

Eat at least three small meals.

congrats...we all find ourselves in a place to get back on track this is a life long process. Sometimes we do better than others but we always have our tool

Ok...I know I posted a response to this before...but it must have been lost in cyberspace somewhere.

Congrats on getting back to South Beach.

I echo the other replies about making sure you are eating.  Even if you aren't "hungry" per say, eat by the clock.  I am by no means asking you to eat when you are full.  If you are full and not eating most of the day, then you need to cut back on portion size and eat small meals 3-6 times a day depending on your surgeon and your nuts guidelines.  NOT eating throughout the day actually SLOWS your metabolism down and will end up adding to slow weight loss, NO weight loss, or even weight gain.
