As Kathy Hilton said so many times this past month...Team Park, you are back here once again : )

I am back to it, my friends. Today is Day 1 on the pill and I feel pretty good. I was a little worried about the imprint, but I re-read a few posts and saw that others had the same pill : )

Since my last check-in/post, I have went from Lean Cuisine to Slim Fast and now am trying out South Beach. I have adopted a new motto as well "it all works...if you work it"---I know...not too original, but hey, I am watching my weight...can't afford to be wasting calories on trying to be clever, as well.

Current weight is 225 and I seem to be on a plateau...which stinks, because I am able to wear clothes that I bought a while ago, but couldn't fit and just a few weekends ago, I went into Express Men and bought a pair of jeans and they actually were a little loose for me...

I have to be honest as well. I am trying to lose weight for more than just my health. Clothing for larger men is mad expensive on the old bank account and don't even mention a new suit! I will wait to update all my suits when they hang from my massive toned frame and not a minute sooner.

So that's all for now...

And I am glad to be back, friends.

Day #2

Today I don't feel as "controlled" as I did yesterday when I started the phen. I know that part of it is probably psychological...I mean I was just starting something pretty big---all over again!

I believe that I have probably been overeating and therefore not losing as much as I could be even on South Beach...so I started this morning to really try to keep a level-headed eye on the number of carbs, even though I know on South Beach...it's not the goal, but when I did Atkins before, I was strict w/ the carb count and I lost and now, I am pretty much eating what I want on SB and not losing or gaining, so it will basically be an experiment to see what works in the end.

jaspernotting · August 18th, 2005, 03:31 PM

Give yourself 1 week before you weight... Carb is my weakness - never can survive without them, so you are doing a great job counting carb!!

Have lots of water and fruits to see you through day by day, whenever your feel hungry - first is water, then hungry again - next come fruits... do this as often as you can in-between meal times! Hope this help a little. Good luck!

Ilijah · August 24th, 2005, 10:06 AM

I have to remind myself that today is yet another day that I can make it through. Feeling some stress...will be moving to a new home on Sunday, but I have a moving company doing the work, I just have to pack-pack-pack and I am getting sick of packing, my friends!

I seem to be on a plateau, though...scale is not going down, but the clothes are becoming too big to wear and for the life of me, I can't figure it out

chriswil20 · August 24th, 2005, 10:48 AM

if you are exercising, then maybe you are losing inches instead of pounds, which is a very good thing! keep it up

Chasity · August 24th, 2005, 10:48 AM
