Welcome!

I am a WW refugee, too!

Some hints:

Don't let yourself get hungry.

Add more veggies in.

Coconut isn't allowed in Ph 1 (unless it's been included on some recent update! LOL)

Good luck to you!

Just starting... hello!

Hi everyone,Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a 43yo mother of three, married to dh for 25 years. Started weight watchers last year and lost part of my weight, 20 lbs, but have been at a plateau (as they call it) for over 8 months now. I'm hovering around 165, and want to get down to 140 and hope this works to jumpstart the weightloss again.I started yesterday and didn't get too hungry, thankfully! I had eggs & asparagus for breakfast, a lowfat mozzarella stick for snack, tuna bean salad on watercress for lunch, 30 pistachios for snack and chicken coconut curry with large salad for supper (with Newman's Parmesan salad dressing, hope that's allowed in Phase 1?) Also had the vanilla creme using Splenda, which tasted ok, surprisingly (I'd expected it to taste gross... :)Glad to have found this group and that it's so active. Been enjoying all the posts!Best wishes,¸..· ´¨¨)) ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ ((¸¸.·´* MarthaI started out with nothing,and still have most of it left.Please visit http://www.jamseng.comand help those who need medical aid.Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb.

Hi ,

Thanks for your welcome! I do get a bit hungry, but then immediately

have one of the recommended snacks, so this diet is going very well for

me. I'm on day three, and am a bit tired, but otherwise doing fine...

The coconut was actually lite coconut milk in a Phase 1 recipe in " The

South Beach Diet Cookbook " . It was " Coconut Chicken " on p. 204, and it

was *delicious*! I put some curry in the recipe instead of tamarind

paste (because I couldn't find it) and the curry didn't have any

sweetener in it, so I figured that was ok.

I was doing pretty good with ww until I hit that " plateau " . I figure ww

was good for things like watching portion sizes and paying attention to

how much I was *actually* eating, but now I need to pay attention to

*what* I'm eating, as well as how much... Maybe that will get me off

this plateau!

Best wishes,

¸..· ´¨¨))

¸.·´ .·´¨¨))

I started out with nothing,

and still have most of it left.

Yep, my bad. It didn't click that this was the one from the cookbook.

I just got sick of having to think so much on WW! LOL
