I've done this before, but not like this. South Beach PLUS rigorous daily exercise. Not the smartest plan, really, because that exercise needs carbs to fuel it, but 8 days in I've lost 8 pounds, which is good; I need the jump start, always. But I absolutely can't face the thought of 6 more days of eggs, meat, and V-8 for breakfast. I almost gag thinking about it.
I don't know what I'm going to do about breakfast, because tonight my mind was, of course, on dinner. I was thinking maybe I'd go out someplace and have a nice filet of fish; something I'm not good at preparing myself. But eating out is expensive, and I'm a perfectly good cook myself. Last night I grilled some chicken breasts, so tonight I went out and got whole wheat pitas...I don't really give a damn that they're verboten right now...and tomatoes, avocados, sprouts, thick bacon...I came home and cut a few strips of the bacon into pieces and fried it; then I assembled one of the world's best sandwiches: cut up grilled chicken, topped with sprouts, bacon, avocado, tomato, and a special sauce comprised of half mayo, half taco sauce...HEAVEN! It was so good, that I may have it for breakfast again tomorrow.

Perfect. I'm doing it next month, and gagging at the thought of two weeks of eggs.
Oh, I know...after that it gets better, but I'm not an egg person anyway, and especially not for breakfast. I went to 1/2 Price Books and bought Eat to Live and Volumetrics, because I have a lot of weight to lose (*sigh*) and dunno if South Beach is the best way to do it.
I personally swear by WeightWatchers. Going back on the points-counting wagon myself... The demise of the restaurant and the trauma associated therewith left me toting a couple of extra bowling balls around....
What great progress! I could eat eggs everyday, but not without toast. :)
Your success is motivating...
Ah, now, if I could have TOAST with my eggs, I'd be in heaven. But eggs by themselves I get tired of very quickly.
