Starting South Beach today....anyone have any advice?

I'd love to know some appropriate 'breakfasts on the go' I was always a bagel or muffin person, so I think this will be the toughest part for me. I had 2 hard boiled eggs and a cup of decaf tea for breakfast today.

Thanks Michal! Yesterday was tough. I read your post about the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa and ran out and bought it last night, I love Hot Cocoa in the winter.

You said you're starting again which leads me to believe you did it once before. How did it go? results??

I've fallen off the SBD diet wagon a few times, Jeannie!! My problem is I get this great loss in the first two weeks - btwn 8-10 lbs and then I try to keep doing it really strictly for a couple of more weeks instead of modifying it to Phase 2. THen something usually comes up like last time I was doing it strictly we went to visit Mom is FLorida - so I was like 'oh vacation - food time!!'
I am planning on doing it now for a couple of weeks to get a jump start on the weight loss but then will prob move into WW while still keeping an eye on carbs. Hopefully it will be more successful more me - let me know how it goes for you!!
