Hey Belle. This is a great place to et some recipes! One of the girls here posted it and I go to it everyday!

Recipes - South Beach Friends Wiki

Have any of you joined the online program? I just did and seems helpful. It can help plan my whole week of meals and even print out a shopping list. I think I will try this as my first week to help get me started. They have alot of reciepes as well. I'm getting the first week free but after that it's $5/week. I'll see if I like it enough to keep it.

Thanks Tasha, I'll look that up.

Hey Belle. I never signed up for the online thing but Diane did and she said that when she went to cancel after the free trial, they offered her two more weeks for free. Maybe you can do that too.

Okay guys...thats not fair....no talking burgers & ice cream....I am still on phase 1....remember???? Its bad enough that I either cook or prepare three delicious healthy meals for my family(which includes carbs...good cabs, but nevertheless, I can't have any!! wwaaaaaaaaaaaa!!) Ok enough of that! I love my tuna w reduced fat mayo rolled up in little cigar shaped tubes.... NOT! LOL.. naaa I do....but if this phase isnt over soon, Im gonna be rollin up other stuff in leaves!!! and I wont be eating it!!! LOL...***visions of me on the beach in jamaica*** LOL

yeah...cabs...I'm gonna go grab a cab...and eat it...i think the only carbs they have are monoxide...LOL...anything'll do right now.......

Lame joke, but what do you want...I cannot think clearly, and I don't think I will be till I pop a cheerio in my mouth! Okay over and out! Hope your all doing well....

LMAO FLO! You are too funny!

Okay, so I decided that I'm not going to wait til Monday to start Phase I, I will be starting this Friday instead. I keep hearing that I might feel weak, dizzy, headaches, and just no so great the first few days. Well, I really don't want to feel that way at the start of my work week.....LOL Monday's are bad enough already!
THis way I can just go and nap on the beach if I feel weak or dizzy while the boys play all day. It's suppose to be a really nice warm this weekend, getting up in the 80's........ love it!
Defininately a reminder for me to work hard to get in shape for the summer.
Good news, my hubby is going to do the diet with me. I'm totally excited about that. I finally won't be alone eating a seperate dinner at home. Now I just have to serve the boys their food, and my hubby can just eat what I'm eating. That alone will help me stick it through.

Don't worry Flo, I will soon be there with you in Phase I..... you're too funny!

I have moved on to phase 2 but if my weigh in this week isn't that great, I will be back on phase 1 again.

No more cheats Jo. Come on, you were doing so great before. The pie isn't worth it. you can do this. I am struggling right along with you but WE CAN DO THIS~

BTW: My sister in law convinced me to do a marathon. We are doing a 4 person re-lay but I am still scared. My part is nearly 7 miles and it is the first week of May! Ugh, not enough time for me! Any advice Jo?? Thanks!

What? When in May is it? How far can you run now? And how fast? Are they expecting a certain time? Oh, can you tell that you got my attention? I am super excited for you, but if you're not running now, I am concerned and although I would HATE to do this to you, I would discourage you from trying, because you could get injured. If however, this race is at the END of May, and you are ALREADY running regularly, then let's talk!! I have plenty of good, sound advice for you and I can refer you to a few wonderful websites for beginners. Oh, how exciting!!

Thanks for the encouragement girl, I saw those 2.8 pesky pounds I gained and I'm not messing around anymore, I have a goal to reach and I've been trying to reach it for years, but no more, this is MY year baby!! Mine all mine!! God told me not to worry anymore!! (read my blog :-) ).

I'm totally new to the Beach diet. Never tried it and very excited to see how it works for me. I haven't started just yet. I'm still getting everything together and still have to make a shopping list. I will do all my grocery shopping this Saturday. This week I'm finishing my last week on Weight Watchers. So Monday is my official start day on the BEACH!!

Did I hear someone mention Fudgsicles/Popsicles?? Yumm..... I love those.
I love to buy their big variety pack that has both and creamsicles as well, all made with Splenda.

Thanks Angela for letting me know about this forum, it's great. I'm sure I will come on here daily as I will need alot of ideas and help during Phase I. Well I will check up with you later ladies and let you know how my shopping goes. Good luck and stay strong.

Welcome to the Beach Belle, it's about time we get you over here with us!! Love ya!! Have I told you that lately? Love your blogs, love you!! Heheeh!!
Ok, I want to know, where do you find the creamsicles? I want some!
