I started the South Beach Diet on Monday (4-23-2012). I am on Phase 1 of the diet or as I like to call it a "Life Change". 

So far I am really enjoying this "Life Change". My first time weighing in I weighed a whopping 253lbs. I have lost a total of 4 lbs as of yesterday. I have only had one day that I have craved chocolate but nothing like I normally would have had before this. If you know me, you would be shocked to hear that. I also feel full all the time! Never hungry or have munchies. My goal weight is 145lb. I would like to weigh that by next summer. I know I have a lot of work to do!  However, I know it will all be worth it!

I have also included workouts into my daily activities. I try and walk/run 2 miles every day along with Total Body Workout that South Beach suggests every other day. As you can see this is a total body makeover, not just a change in eating habits.
