And so it begins!

It's time for a change! I've done Weight Watchers for a while, but when I stopped nursing my third child it just wasn't working for me anymore. I decided after talking to some friends that have done the South Beach Diet that I would give it a try. A friend let me borrow here book, and I did quite a bit of research online before starting.

Day 1 7/20/09

I'm starting out at 158.6. i was 164 at my heavest a couple months ago. I did get down to 146 last summer while nursing and doing Weight Watchers.

I'm sure I will starve, but I can' do this....I am such a carb-aholic I'm not sure how difficult this will be. Not to mention I LOVE chocolate. It's only 2 weeks of hell before adding a little carbs back right? Surely I can just try and see how it goes.

Day 2 7/21/09

So, Day 1 went great! I wasn't hungry at all! I snacked on almonds and cheese between meals so I wouldn't get hungry. This morning I weighed....and I am 157.4! It's already working!

Day 3 7/22/09

Yesterday went well. I did get a headache though. I got a little jittery feeling in the afternoon too. I had a spoon of peanut butter, and it helped. This morning I weighed and I am 156.8. I have lost 1.8 lbs in 2 days!

Day 4 7/23/09

I had another headache today and yesterday. I am never hungry though, and I am not craving anything at all. Things seem to be going really well!
