Well today is the day I turn off Phase I and begin Phase II. I'm excited for some dietary variety, but a bit nervous as well. I lost 13 pounds during Phase I and I am so pleased with that. My clothes fit better and I make much more conscious decisions when it comes to eating. I had my first family Christmas last Sunday and even managed to stay 100% on track with my Phase. Yay me!!

I just found out I am a bridesmaid on April 4th....my goal is to not look as plump as an eggplant in my eggplant colored dress :)

Tomorrow is the beginning of a much needed vacation from work. Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I will not be sitting on a computer all day while on vacation (unlike work) so I look forward to logging on and seeing all your progressions! Happy Holidays and Happy Healthy New Year!!

Just a tip to provide caution -- so that you do not make the same mistake I did the FIRST time I followed South Beach three years ago. I did so well with Phase I that I decided to remain on Phase I for "just a couple more weeks." Big mistake! Without putting those healthy carbs back into the diet - gradually -- and in moderation -- of course -- the body gets bored without some variety. Phase II is all about experimenting with portion size and the right COMBINATION of foods! Fat Secret is a helpful resource. Good luck to ya!

Great job!! Hey, a very smart lady here... she did phase II so beautifully... she added only ONE phase II allowed food per week to be sure that her body would be tolerant of it and not gain too much by adding it. This was such a great idea and showed her what foods would slow her up and what ones worked out for her. I believe this is suggested this way in the book... I'm not for sure, though. Keep up the great, and hard work, you're doing AWESOME! :)

Well done! Keep up the good work. Stay focused, which is hard to do during the holiday season.
