Just though i would keep you all updated!!! since starting the South beach diet 2.5 weeks ago i have lost 10lb so thats 16 altogether since the beginging of september. The first few days were hard but after that it has become alot easier and i dont crave all the junk like i used to and i feel full after eating and dont have mad hunger pangs. The best thing i can say for this diet its that it does what it says the ten pound has gone off my big fat belly!!! And people are noticing the difference. Also my spotty skin has improved not gone but improved! my aim now is to get at least another stone off by Christmas! fingers crossed
