Re: Okay so I am starting the South Beach Diet tomorrow!!

Today was day 10 and I had a piece of bread with dinner, and some whole wheat pasta,

as bad as it was to cheat it tasted so good. I don't know if this no carb diet is for me, I love my carbs and have been missing them so much.

I dont' know what to do I want to diet and lose weight for this wedding but I am misrable doing it.

What do I do???

Why dont you try Weight Watchers...You can eat carbs on WW....you dont have to limit yourself to foods that you like to eat...as long as you count the points for them.

Don't worry, you're doing fine. I've lost about 40 lbs so far doing a combo of WW and South Beach. South Beach is not really as much of a fad as I thought it would be. I've never made it through those first 2 weeks w/o cheating a little...too hard. But I've been doing phase 2 for a while now. Don't follow those menus too closely 'cause they're boring.

What I really found was filling during those two weeks:
For lunch a huge salad (and I'm not a salad eater) with grilled/marinated chicken breast or tuna or salmon or steak. Heck you can have steak!!!
For breakfast I made huge veggie omlets, some days with egg beaters and some days with real eggs.

It gets easier with time. Good luck you're doind great!!!

Thanks I love to hear support and other people who have done it and cheated and still lost weight.

I haven't noticed any real weight lose maybe a pound or so and today was my 11th day. I feel disappointed.
