I wish I was losing more weight but I do feel great.
A little history--my doctor sent me to the nutritionist almost 2 years ago to try South Beach. I was about 15 lbs less than I weigh now. I had lost 25 lbs by getting my 10,000 steps every day for almost 7 months. He thought I could jump start things by seeing her. Also, my blood pressure was up again. Well, it was up at least in part because my pain level was through the roof. I was having 12-25 day periods (not cycles) again. That was triggering major endo pain and horrible migraines. I was trying different hormone levels to stop this, oh provera is NOT something to take when you try to eliminate sugar. I made it 4 days on South Beach and then didn't want to touch it with a 10 foot pool. I had to have a can of coke to deal with the headache and my body was convinced it also needed lots of sugar.
I lost another 8 lbs just walking. I tried weight watchers to see if it would help. Right then, I ended up with achilles tendonitis (I think from trying interval training from fit or fat--I pushed too hard). So then I ended up having a very difficult time getting back into walking without hurting and the weight came back (most of it).
But then, I got the pain under control and it was time to see my doctor again. He sent me back to the nutritionist who wanted me to try South Beach again. This time I was much more prepared. This is the end day 14 of Phase 1. As I said, I wish I had lost more weight but my measurments are going down so I figure it's just shifting around. I also did a week of carb addicts (to protect against the headaches) and I lost 8 lbs more on that so 14 lbs in 3 weeks is great. I moving on to phase 2 tomorrow (buying my berries and my pumpernickle tonight).
