Weight Loss/Diet Update

After a little rocky start to the diet (turns out that Erik really cannot function without carbs of some kind, he got all lethargic), I'm proud to say that Erik lost almost 2 pounds last week. Yea! He decided that he was going to eat breakfast (a South Beach Diet recipe) and then cut out soda. What a good job! He's also eating a little healthier in general, so overall it's good. Woo hoo! So proud of you honey!

So instead of doing South Beach exactly how you are supposed to, we are going to modify it to fit our needs and desires. We are going to mix the first two phases together and just have great meals and worry less about the carbs control up front.

Life style change is really what we are going for here, and not just losing weight. I'll keep you updated about the progress!

I'm a firm believer in making up your own program. Healthy food and exercise...that's what helped me lose 30 pounds last year...i've slowed down big time and need to put the chocolate away again! But tell Erik, I'm feeling his pain! and his success!
