Weekly weigh in..

Well I just finished my first week on South Beach and I'm down six pounds!!  WOOOOOTT!!!  I'm so happy, I'm beyond happy, I'm ecstatic.  I don't know why WW couldn't work for me this time around, even Core which I loved, but this is working!

My husband can't stop laughing at me, telling me I can't eat grains.  Told em he better watch it, I cook his food! hehe  But I'm so excited, when I started last week I was at my comfort zone which I usually only go down one or two pounds.  I went past it!! YAY!  I'm gonna talk to the doc on Monday and ask him why I've been having so much trouble with grains, it's just crazy.  I'm also going to ask him what he thinks about me pretty much keeping my diet like this for a while.  I hate to wreck something that might work for me.

YAYYYY!!!     

wOOhOO! 6 pounds is fantastic! That is soooo great! Keep it up! I only have a couple more days until my weigh in on Saturday...eek! lol. I'm looking for a 226.....but will take any loss it gives me! :) Good Job Holly!!!

FANTASTIC!!  I am so happy for you.  You will definitely have a great Easter now.    Brenda

YEAH...Congrats Holly. 

YAY!!!! I know that you have been down and at your ends with losing some weight I am so glad that you have lost 6lbs thats great!!!! I can hear the excitement in your words!! I am glad that you found something to work for you..goes back to everything doesnt work for everyone!!  Great job Holly!!! **HUGS***

Yea, that is true!  I just pray it continues.  I'm going to talk to my doc about it, because it does actually concern me, it just doesn't seem right.  But thanks for all the emails, they do help tremendously.  People on this board are fantastic.  I remember crying my eyes out so frustrated one morning and Jerz came to my rescue, emailed back and forth for a few hours.  She saved my sanity that morning.lol  I just hope this is the end, or I should say beginning! :)  

YAY BOARD! hehe   

Holly....just got back from taking my mom to the MD and read your exciting news!   I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!! I am so glad you have found something that works.  Now I just pray that it does the same for me.  I'll be interested to know what your doctor has to say about staying on this.  I planned on only adding one fruit/day after the initial two week Phase 1 anyway.  I think I react the same way with the grains...not sure I'm ever gonna be able to go back to them. You keep up the good work, girl....I'm so proud of you!!

Yea I was considering taking back oatmeal or a fruit.  I know they say a fruit first.  But having my oatmeal back sounds good too.:)  hehe  But after I talk to the doc I want to see how far I can go on this..with the docs help.   I do care what he thinks, and I have to go in to see him about my blood work on Monday so I'll let you know what he says.  He's also just like yours, has lost lots of weight before (over 100 pounds and kept it off), wants a balanced diet, his plan actually was a vegan diet. and all wholesome foods.  He gave it to me, but I just couldn't do it without the meat.   So I'm curious to see what he says.

Go Holly!

Excellent, Holly!  I'm so happy for you!  It looks like you found your groove!!
