I REGISTERED TODAY ON FATSECRET.COM ON AUGUST 11, 2008. I HAVE BEEN ON SOUTH BEACH DIET FOR 4 WEEKS ALREADY, AND HAVE LOST 16 POUNDS, 5 AND HALF INCHES. THE SOUTH BEACH DIET HAS BEEN VERY REWARDING TO ME, I AM DIBECTIC, AND HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, COPD, AND MANY OTHER ILLNESSES, I TAKE LOTS OF MEDICINES, BUT MY SUGAR READINGS HAVE BEEN GOOD EVERY MORNING, MY CRAVINGS HAVE SUBSIDED VERY MUCH, WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING IS I AM ON PHASE 1 STEADY AND WHAT I DO IS USE PHASE 2 OR 3 TO GET A TREAT WHEN I WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. MY FIRST TIME OF TREATING MYSELF WAS AFTER 3 WEEKS, I ATE HALF OF A SLICE OF WATERMELON NOT EVERYDAY THO..:-)
IT KEEPS ME FROM GETTING IN A RUT WITH THIS DIET......I AM 49 YEARS OLD, I LIVE IN LOUISIANA, AND HOPE TO BE HEALTHIER AND ALSO MY BENIFITS WILL BE GETTING SMALLER....:-) FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS, HEALTHWISE, WEIGHT WISE, OR ABOUT SOUTH BEACH WAY OF LOSING! DONNASBD1958
