Shan, I've been meaning to comment on your quitting smoking. Congratulations! My husband quit about a decade ago and it wasn't an easy process. Way to go!

Hey everyone! Shanna, I will build a sand castle with ya anyday! I am glad you are ready to get going again! You are doing great to quit smoking and the food thing can be really tough but we are here for you!

Diane, I had the same stomach issues too. I still do at times. It does get better though. I find that when I go off of SB and then when I go back to it, I get the stomach pains.

Was really not wanting to continue this morning, but I had my SB breakfast while the kids ate waffles. Now I need to look and see what is for lunch.

Headaches are very common during the first week, it's like breaking an addiction except it is to refined carbs and sugars!! They will pass, just take exedrin or something for the pain and you should be alright. NO CHEERIOS!! Hehehehe!!! Trust me, I am a migranier and the two days were hell, but I haven't had a headache since!!

Hey Tasha and Jo my latebirds I've been up since 6:00 a.m. wanting to splash around onthe beach but I got lonely lol lol lol Good morning ladies!!!

I'm thinking it's something else, but wanted to cover all my bases before having the doctor tell me it's just my diet and to suck it up as it will pass.

Yes, I didn't experience that until week 2. I was miserable, I even blogged about my misery. I have been regular ever since and like Shan said, you lose a lot of weight after--heheheh!! Oh the things that we talk about here on the beach!!

oops sorry Jo you have three hours behind us in time forgot oops oops lol lol
