Thanks, Antje! Yes, I am still doing the south beach diet. Surprisingly, i am not missing the carbs like i thought I would. If i can hang in there, i might do the first phase a little longer. I can have sugar free stuff, but Splenda is a great alternative to sugar, so it hasn't been all that bad. I have never been on a diet before in my life, and I can truly say, that this isn't as painful as I thought it was gonna be. I can't tell if I have lost any weight, yet, but I definitely can tell a diiference. I don't feel as bloated, as I used to. lol Oh, by the way, Antje, that picture of you two is so adorable. I love seeing posts by you, so I can see that cute little baby!
