I gained back a pound, but am still having the same BR problems.
I searched online to find info about people plateauing on stage 1 of the South Beach Diet and found a forum and they say:
1. You are not plateauing unless your weight loss is stalled for at least 4 weeks
2. Not to weigh yourself everyday because losing a pound a day, etc is not realistic
3. People can lose a lot of weight initially in phase 1, but people with less weight to lose will lose less, and it will take longer to lose it
4. It's not uncommon for women to lose, gain back, and lose weight again during the initial stages of the diet because of water weight
5. They recommend "shaking up" what you are eating, and
6. They recommend eliminating some of the higher calorie foods such as nuts in your diet (I eat a portion as a snack once a day)
It was helpful information.
