Start Weight:	(01 Oct 07) 180.0 lb
Current Weight:	(14 Nov 08) 163.0 lb
Goal Weight:	150.0 lb

following: The South Beach Diet
performance: Steady

We came back from a family vacation in Jamaica in Sept. and when I looked at the pictures all I can see is a big orange blob...(was wearing orange and yellow)...

I am 39.11 years old and until I was 35 I was never overweight...never had a weight problem...lived on potato chips, salsa, cashews, coke and m&ms...never weighed more that 115 and a size 6 was hugh for me...

We got married at at age 35 and I wore a size 2...at age 35-36 found out I was perimenopausal and have early stage ostioparosis (sp?)...and I could not not put on weight...in the last 4 years I went from 110 or so to 180...it did not seem like much as it was a fast gradual process and my husband never said a word...

But as I have found out the pictures never lie

and yesterday at a wedding reception I was asked twice if I was pregnant...I cannot have kids...go figure...just more motivation to stick with this WOE

Brownies - Phase 1 and 2
Sweeten Up Halloween With a Healthy Twist on Brownies

Halloween is just around the corner — a challenge for anyone with a sweet tooth. For something different, try the rich, chocolaty taste of freshly baked brownies. This healthy twist on the classic brownie recipe was discovered by a patient of Dr. Agatston's — it substitutes fiber-rich black beans for the butter and oils.

When Dr. Agatston sampled one of these brownies, he was surprised by how moist and delicious it was! Whip up a batch and enjoy a dessert that is more nutritious than one made from a boxed mix that uses processed flour. This snack is low on the glycemic index and has some protein too. But as with all treats, it's easy to overindulge, so limit yourself to just one serving as a special treat.

Black-Bean Brownies (Phase 1)

Makes 21 servings (each serving is three 1" squares)

Ingredients
1 can black beans (13–15 ounces), rinsed well
4 eggs
1 cup sugar substitute
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
Spray an 8" x 8" brownie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Blend all ingredients (except nuts) in a blender until smooth. Transfer the batter into a mixing bowl and fold in nuts (if desired). Then, pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan. Bake at 350°F for approx 30 minutes, until set in middle. Enjoy!
