I am very discouraged. I have given up on the South beach Diet. I cannot afford to buy all that expensive meat and fresh fruits and vegetables at this time. I feel like such a failure. I have tried and tried to lose weight and I always gain it back. I am reading Bob Greene's Best Life Diet at this time. I am trying to eat low fat and reduce portions and start walking and weight lifting again. I guess I'm not on any special diet I am doing my own thing.

honey dont be discouraged. its all about moderation and portion size. what has helped me is writing down every little thing i have eaten. and i know its not that great, but trust me it will work. also as much as i hate it, excersize is also good.. get moving.. weather a walk or dancing infront of the mirror with your hair brush singing your fav song. just so that you body is not in rest mode all the time. i wish you luck hun.. and ifn you need to talk.. im here. *huggers*

Cheer up and don't give up on getting healthier.
Diets such as the South Beach are not designed for long-term duration but only to give temporary fast results with most people gaining back their weight once they get off the specialized meal plans. I follow the guidelines set by the Canadian Food Guide for free. It's pinned on my fridge and refer to their guidelines for daily serving size when needed. I have lost over 40 lbs. doing it that way and the only money I paid out was to buy new clothes in smaller sizes.

I can so relate to I'm not on any special diet (lost on SB and gained it all back within the same year), and now I am doing my own thing. See my journal entery for today. Sista, I feel your pain!
