Jayne, Thanks for the recipe link! Gonna check it out now!

Yeah isn't that funny never I guess I'm not a sweater but that SALSA ugh man I was dancing and spinning and doing all kinds of steps and sweating bullets lol lol Man I was gonna go home and workout but there is a house showing between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. will this house sell already ugh Im getting sick of it! You can do it TASHA one good week come on now....This is my last weigh-in at KMART this week and I can't wait it messes up my routine and flying schedule lol lol I should have a pretty good weigh-in!
Will let you guys know!

Two thirds of a day down. And that was with the kids having chocolate milk for lunch. Now I'm going to clean my kitchen. Believe it or not, it helps me not eat.

Good Monday Ladies!!! Tasha I'm back one phase1 with ya girl (one week thursday) and we CAN do this!!!!!! I just wanted to post South Beach Friends • Index page. This sight is great! The recipe part gives you recipes for everything under the sun. It also tells ya the phase on most. One downfall is that there is no nutrtional info. I have a few recipes from it and so far they have all been good. I'm off until thursday so I will check in with ya ladies this week. The sun is starting to shine outside so maybe i can sneak in some time outside. Big huggggssss to everyone!! Oh, and try this web site I promise you will not reget it! One more thing. Google search one minute muffin and find the recipe for this hearty SB approved breakfast or really anytime muffin. It's great!!!

I have the original book that came out about 5 years ago so things may have changed somewhat. I don't remember if they say to take a supplement but I do. I take several things but a multivitamin is a good place to start. Cut it in half and take half in the morning and the other half right before you go to bed. I also take a calcium with magnesium and fish oil too.

Shopping list that is listed in the book:
Beef: Lean cuts such as: Sirloin (including ground)
Tenderloin
Top round
I also found a bag of seasoned steak strips made by Tyson. (good for salads)

Poulty (skinless)
Cornish Hen
Turkey Bacon (2 slices per day)
Turkey & Chicken Breast

Seafood:
all types of fish & shellfish

Pork:
Boiled ham
Canadian bacon
Pork Tenderloin

Veal:
Chop
Cutlet, leg
Top Round

Lunchmeat:
Fat free or lowfat only

Cheese:
FAT FREE OR LOWFAT
American, Cheddar, Cottage cheese (1-2% or Fat free)
Cream cheese, Feta, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Provolone, Ricotta, String

Nuts:
Peanut Butter 1 tsp., Peanuts 20, Pecan halves 15, Pistachio 30, Cashews 15,
Pick one per day

Unlimited use of eggs

Tofu:
Use soft, lowfat or lite varieties

All veggies, EXCEPT potatoes, corn, baked beans, sweetpeas

Fats:
Canola Oil, Olive Oil

Can use broth, all spices, extracts (Almond, vanilla and others), Horseradish sauce, I can't believe it;s not butter spra, smart balance

Sweets: Sugar free jello, fat free or light cool whip, sugar free hard candy, Sugar free popsicles or fudge pops, sugar substitutes.
Can have dairy also...Low fat or skim milk, plain nonfat yogurt...


No fruit, bread, pasta, rice

remember: This came out of my older book. Things might be updated by now.

That was my biggest hangup with South Beach. I'm in love with my breads, pastas etc. You can do it. I slipped a couple times, but overall I did ok. Phase II allows some bread and pasta, so hang in there!!!

Your weight is down, you've got a good start on weight loss, so give your body some of that good fruit and whole grains and see if that doesn't help some. Just a suggestion. Glad your husband is on board with you. Lordy Lordy Lordy, what I wouldn't give to get my husband on board. I cringe every night when I see him slather butter on white bread and stuff it in his mouth... not just one slice, but 3 or 4. I can just hear his arteries hardening. *sighs*

Okay you wonderful SB bunnies. I WANT PATS ON THE BACK. I have not smoked for 3 1/2 days now and I NEED/WANT/DEMAND PATS ON THE BACK. hehe...

Huggggggggggggggggs,
Shan

Waddling over with my purple towel of course.....SHANNA!!!! my bestest buddy...a non smoker!!!!! Yippee SKIPPY!!!! YOU DID IT!!!

And you smell like a flower...a Texas flower for sure!!!!

I agree with Phase II, its just plain healthy I say!!! Shanna told me so!!! LOL@!!! but seriously Shanna, job well done you have no idea how proud I am of you, from one non smoker to another.
