I tried it. I lost 15 pounds, untill i realized I couldn't stop thinking about food. I went for what I reffered to as the modified South Beach diet. This allowed light beer, full fat cheeses (any kind) and pretty much any thing I wanted. IF I would cut back for a few days following a serious "binge". No purging, just trying to keep within a calorie count for a week. Also there was much bike riding and competitive sailing (good for core muscles). I dropped 30 lbs, and managed to only get 10 or 15 back over winter. It starts again in one month. ---Jena Um, found your site through another, and have to tell you, South Beach is a temporary thing at best. I tried it.

I was laughing. 3. Even though I'm not struggling to get pregnant, nor have I sufferd the devastating loss you have through miscarriage, I hope you'll not mind my lurking around a bit, as we are planning a baby, not our first, but it's been a while, and I love the passion and honesty in some of these blogs. Am I disqualified if it hasn't been difficult for us? I hope not. I really like your spot in cyberspace. P.S. I just ordered that book you like so much about 12 minute work outs. I'm working on a Rat Terrier myself. Preferably before the hoped for pregnancy to come.

I am not only a fatso but there is nothing I enjoy more than a nice post about fatness and dieting et cetera. Seriously, I want to know what the workout IS !!

I'd like to lose a beagle from my midsection. Also, I have to agree with you on this: any diet that prohibits full-fat cheese and alcohol is a diet I don't want to meet on the street. PS: your post wasn't boring at all. Very entertaining as always! I sincerely congratulate you on the weight loss! I’d like to lose a beagle from my midsection.

Congrats! I think I lasted about as long on the SB Diet. I found I turned into a raving bitch without carbohydrates, and decided it was not worth the trouble. 7 pounds is great! Congrats!

Getting through phase 1 was a challenge, but toughing it out really helped me mentally. Phase two has been much more doable. I now mostly don't eat rice, bread, and potatoes, and have low calorie protein snacks twice a day. I could never manage the IR diet so well. Congrats on your weight loss, that's so awesome. I like it best when we're all inspiring one another, it's the best part of the community.

I've been doing the south beach diet but I think your version sounds much more fun. I'm so glad you're feeling better about your appearance. It's made such a difference for how I feel.

I'm trusting the arrival of Spring to help me kick it up a notch, fitness wise. I can't wait to go play outside! Which leaves me free at the moment to sit on my ass and admire your successful diligence. Well done! Hmm. I’m trusting the arrival of Spring to help me kick it up a notch, fitness wise.

And I am very familiar with the Lost Cause fashion philosphy. Congrats on the 7 pounds. That's just enough to put a nice spring in your step. I think your cheese reasoning is sound.
