i'm still sticking to the sb. i do need more fiber, so i'll have to modify it it a little. i'm not used to the cheese. i love it, but it doesn't love me.

i think a fast is a good idea. or even just a liquid day. have your v8 and lemon water or green tea all day. i think it would be good for me too. a detox day.

enjoy your weekend alffe. boosting your spirits with a fantastic weekend? what a better way to get off the plateau!

i am going to the movies to see narnia this weekend. no matter what! so i will blow it with popcorn. no soda or candy. i have to have my popcorn.

I think even a weight gain of a pound or two can be so discouraging when you are dieting...but they say that is normal to be steady for a while.
Maybe doing the stage one again would energize your metabolism?
I have to get off this computer....
slept well last night...two nights off one night on...I can live that way.
It will get better with time...have to believe that.
make it a great day!
you can do this...yes you can!

how do people get in their fruit without using a bunch of calories? eat strawberries right? That gets expensive, what fruit do you eat?

try mxing the sugar free and the regular bizi. your husband may not notice the difference.

that tuna sounds good. i stock up on those little cans of chili's.

Thanks for asking about me. I lerk here sometimes. I am still on South Beach diet and down to a size 14. I have lost 25 pounds and can't seem to lose anymore. I have suffered alot emotional wise and don't seem to have many friends. Its hard to talk about.
