Come to the beach with me!

South Beach that is. Miss Kitty mentioned she was starting again. Anyone else? It's been a year or so since I've dieted and I forget a lot of the recipes. I need to lose at least 10 lbs and my goal is 16. I made this cute little ticker chart and I'm testing it to see if it works here. I'm starting at Phase One and I'm getting ready to go the grocery. We can do this together to stay motivated and share recipes!

I am with you. Great eating habits..I was soooo bad during December so I need to get back on the wagon. I do feel so much better once I detox and eat healthy. Love to share ideas and recipes. What exactly is this chart??

We are trying Sonoma- I like the recipes better than SB. Although we do very well on SB---

I can't figure out how to put it in my signature. I've seen them on other boards. You can even make one to count down days to your vacation. www.tickerfactory.com


Great! Glad we can do this together!

Haven't heard of it but I'll check it out.

Well, I'm not into South Beach, but I'll do what I can for moral support. I follow a low fat, high fiber regimen and prefer to think of it as a lifestyle change more than a diet. I don't count calories, just try to keep my fat grams below 30 and my fiber grams above 30. I have been doing this since the beginning of November and lost 35 pounds so far (the holidays were tough, but when I cheated a little, I added an extra workout to compensate.)

Congratulations!!!!!
I'm going to my very first Weight Watchers meeting tonight with a friend. She talked me into it, so we'll see....

I'm game! I haven't been on my workout/eating right routine since I was at the beach in October I think it's high time to get started again! :clap_1:

Thanks - I've been keeping it quiet as to not jinx myself!

My sister-in-law is doing Weight Watchers and likes it. If you have a friend to go there with you, all the better. Hope it works well for you!

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! I am so depressed at my post-holiday figure. I stepped on the scale this morning and almost fainted. I've never weighed this much before except when I was pregnant. (Now that's bad; very bad.) Too much wining and dining over the holidays!

I am going to use WW because that's what Merman did when he started piling on the Executive Dinner pounds, and it worked great for him. I put today's weight on the calendar and on next Wednesday's date, that weight minus 2 pounds, and on the next Wednesday after that, today's weight minus 4 pounds, and so so forth and so on. And a slash right next to it so when the day comes up I can compare.

Wed Jan 4
200 lb / __ lb

Wed Jan 11
198 lb / __ lb

Wed Jan 18
196 lb / __ lb

Hopefully when I fill in the blanks each week, target weight will match actual weight.

Hopefully we can all encourage each other! I HATE dieting.
