South Beach Diet Bandsters???
Hey there!! Feel free to post anytime! You could probably do South Beach mushies too! Tuna, fish, etc. Veggie soups. I actually bought my QuickSlim30 from a Chinese herbalist Doctor who I was seeing for weight loss. Surprise I only lost like 12 pounds and gained them back. He is in to all natural things and sold it to me for $60. I am going to order it online at QuickSlim30.com next time because I think it is $49. Take care!!

South Beach Diet Bandsters???
This PMS stuff is crazy!!!! I was starving too, then yesterday ate about 900 calories and didn't want to eat dinner or snack. I had 1 Laughing Cow just because I felt I needed to have something. I can't wait for my fill and hope I hit my sweet spot first time.

South Beach Diet Bandsters???
I loosly keep a count in my head, just for my info right now. I want to be able to look back and see where my body did best, higher calorie, lower or a combination like I am doing. Technically on South Beach, you eat till satisfied not counting anything! Eventually I won't count, but just want to make sure I am not eating too much since I have no restriction right now and then when i get filled in a week or so, I want to make sure I am eating enough. You can also use Fitday.com Another reason i count for now, I people underestimate how much they eat and then wonder why they don't lose or gain. We can be off by at least 1000 calories or more. I know that I probably was having about 4000 calories or more and didn't think I was eating a lot!!:faint: My nutrionist said to lose eat between 1200-1500 , no more no less.

January Bandsters???
I know for me so far, I have been able to eat anything I want and actually enjoy it more, the flavors, etc since I used to just inhale my food. I still enjoy food just less of it!

Friday weigh in
I am premenstrual and bloated. I stayed the same in weight which I see as good, since I usually gain during this time. So, could mean I actually lost but won't see it for a few days or so? Yesterday I ate a 3 egg omelette with crab and cheese and 3 turkey bacons for breakfast, for lunch had carnitas with cheese and 1 Laughing cow for dinner since I got so busy I just didn't eat dinner. So maybe about 900 calories? I only got about 32 ounces of my water too since the people who were doing this demonstration at my house took forever! I didn't exercise since hubby was home on his day off. Today for breakfast I had 3 eggs and soyrizo, so about 350 calories. I have already had 32 ounces of watered down crystal light and my liquid vitamins and 1 QuickSlim30. I feel thinner though, clothes are feeling looser.My rings feel looser.
