shelley and i are starting SB on monday.

anyone else interested?

we are going to be very dedicated and serious. we are determined to lose the weight and be healthy. (ok...looking good too )

this will include daily food and exercise logs. weigh in's. taking measurements. being held accoutable.

SB book is copyrighted, so parts of the book can not be posted, but we can send pm's. pm's can be sent to 25 people at a time. share recipes and such from the book. that can also be used for more sensitive information that we don't want posted. like weight.

for us, it's time to get real. we want to invite others who are totally ready to join us. also those who are on it already.

Whuh????...I thought you said we are going to South Beach

The monkey is right! Its time to get real and dedicate ourselves to taking care of us! We are so good at taking care of others its time for us!

Yep food diaries and measurements and even pictures!....hopefully before and after

So starting Monday we are here to support each other. We are gonna eat right and exercise!

I am so serious about this today I am going to storage to get my bike out so I can start riding!

So who's in? C'mon now....dont make me do this alone...that monkey will kill me

don't make her do this alone. i'm a tough one.

all who join us will be held acountable.

intentional exercise is a must. burning more calories than consumed everyday.

we will do it!

ARe you going to post some things like food groupings...I don't want to do this thru PM"S...thanks.

we will post as much as we can. just have to watch the copyright.

the big thing will be to stay on topic and to stay on the diet and exercise.

i have held online and in person support groups.( had a private forum on my webs site) i was the fascilator. they worked out very well. it did help that most of us could meet, but those that couldn't really stuck to it.

we figured some wouldn't want to post their actual weight. so that is where pm's will come in. that is an option.

You're kidding...right? I'm gonna pm you my weight? LOLOL!! Can I start with what I have already lost on So Beach diet? I love this diet and it really works...my exercise consists of climbing on ladders while painting, cutting the grass while riding around, raking, bending.....

since you have a scale now..i figured you'd be proud of the number you are at now.

ok..so we know from you not even bother with the fake bacon. anything else not worth the calories? you are the queen of sb.

you do get lots of exercise.

intentional is adding things like stepping or marching in place while brushing your teeth..or doing squats. legs lifts or arm circles while watching tv. or doing the bike or treadmill. adding exercise to your daily routine.

i think we should add intentional cutting back. skipping dressing on a salad..stuff like that.

ideas?

I don't think I could squat if my life depended on it, oh I could get down but not back up! and what is this lunging I read about. I have learned to love chemical eggs if you add f.f.shredded blue or feta to them. And V8 juice..small glass. Don't need dressing if you wilt baby spinch in walnut oil..throw in f.f.cheese and course salt. It's also great under a piece of fish..looks pretty....good for you.

I'll try marching while brushing my teeth but shudder to think of Mr.Alffe's reaction. LOLOL! Gonna be fun ladies...I am in this. If/when I lose ONE more pound it will be a new decade....unit?

pracitce doing squats or lunges holding on the kitchen or bathroom counter. it helps with balance. same with doing a modified push up.

you can also practice like you are going to sit on a chair or the bed...and just not touch your rear...and stand back up. start with doing 1 or 2.

heheehe alffe..what about doing the twist? dance a little while brushing your teeth? remember those little tiles/squares that swiveled?

I can do that unless gravity drops me like a stone! This is gonna be fun!
