Maybe a little late on this thread but wanted to make some comments. I did WW 3 years ago myself, lost 13 pounds or so. Oops, got pregnant. Now I'm trying to get rid of 20 pounds of baby fat. Me and a friend started the South Beach Diet this week and I find for me (and her too) that it sucks. No fruit, no pasta,bread,rice,sugar the first 2 weeks. After that you start adding in some carbs. I find it very hard, the book tells you not to feel hungry but by the time you eat enough meat and vegetables (no carrots,corn,potatoes), I'm sure the calorie count can get high. We are into day 5 of the first 14. I've lost 4 pounds. Most dietiticans will say this part is unhealthy. I already plan on going back to WW after another couple of weeks for maintanence and any further loss. I thought WW sucked when on it, now after South Beach, WW is a dream. Even working out doing SB isn't speeding the weight loss up. I'm doing the CTX series on just the bench while doing this because of the low energy level and that I'm healing from a very bad sprained ankle. I want to be able to make cookies with my 3yr old this fall and not feel terrible about it.
Like I said, this is just how it is working for me.
