Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hi Everyone. My name is . I'm just coming to the end of Phase 1, and I have not lost anything!!! I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I admit I have not been 100%, drinking caffienated coffee, just one cup (my commuter mug- 12 oz) a day with creamer. Other than that I have been really good about staying on this phase and not cheating. I have lost weight with less effort, and I'm so frustrated. I am 174 pounds and about 5 feet tall. This diet seem very logical and workable for my lifestyle. My husband is a diabetic and this is something that we can easily live with and will be good for him too, if I could get him eat better and I am hoping to set a good example. I know that I have not been drinking enough water. I am just not a thirsty person and I really have to force myself to drink water. Is the lack of water enough to hold on to the weight or is it something else? I wonder if I should see my doctor and maybe there is something else wrong with me. I can't imagine that I am stuck in this body forever. I don't want to give up on this diet because I've seen it work for so many and it really seems like a very logical and healthy program, but 12 days and NOTHING!!!!!!! Any insight or experience with this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 This is unusual. Most people start dropping right away. Are you getting exercise/active lifestyle?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Yes, it is definately normal in the first week or so. You will feel that way cuz your body is getting rid of the bad sugars and carbs you put into it, detoxing if you will. It does go away and you will be glad you did it when you are done. It is also good for the kids, you can give them an extra carby food with their meals, bread or whatever, but eating healthy is for the whole the family. To not be so bored search the internet and the files for this list for recipes. It's very helpful to get new foods, new recipes so you don't get bored with the plan. Carol Introduction My husband and I started the diet 5 days ago. I have had five kids andneed to lost a good deal of weight. My yonger two children are 2 and 9months. I have been pregnant 5 times in the last 10 years my body isnot like it used to be. I normally eat carbs at every meal andreally want and need to change my eating habits long term. My husband is struggling with boredom already. I am OK with what I ameating. I am not hungry but I feel very tired and a bit shaky. Is thisnormal for the first week?Thanks. I am glad to find this group.HollyReminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.
