I started out at about 315 pounds I have lost about 75 pounds to date. I am more than half way to my goal weight but I want to keep working hard to achieve it. I would like to be 175, but I did a Body Composition Analysis at the gym and it said that an ideal weight for me would be 205 with my body makeup. I was surprised. So I am actually going to alter my goal weight a little and then reevaluate it again when I get to my new goal. I went a little lower than 205 because I want to be under 200 so I picked 195. That's my new goal. Once I make it there I will reevaluate where I want to be. I just wasn't made to be a stick, which is OK, I just want to be healthy. My weight loss journey has worked on a positive circle, the more I lose the better I feel, the more I want to work out and so on. It has been such a life altering experience for me and I can't wait to live this lifestyle for the rest of my days.

Hey Nicole,
I haven't really tried the South Beach Diet meals, but I do eat Smart Ones and Lean Cuisines, usually Smart Ones. Last time I had Healthy Choice, I didn't really like it but I saw on some commercial that they changed the way they prepare their food. The only thing I can really cook is spaghetti and I use all-white lean turkey instead of beef and whole wheat pasta. I made some on Sunday actually and I crumble a little feta cheese in it, which is weird (at least people tell me it's weird) but I love feta cheese. And, I love egg white and turkey bacon sandwiches...those are really good. Two strips of turkey bacon, Promise Healthy Heart butter, 2 slices of whole wheat toast, and about a half a cup of egg whites (make them into an omlet (sp?)) Have with a small banana and some yogurt or milk and a glass of water...best breakfast I've ever made. -Genevieve
ps Continued luck in your journey as well. :)
