Well, I'm a little disappointed in my South Beach diet efforts. I stuck to the diet for the two-week induction phase (during which one can expect to lose between 6-10 lbs.); I lost 4 lbs.

I should be happy that I lost, but I'm pissed that I didn't lose more.

At least the diet is easy to stick to.

Now that the two-week phase is over, I've allowed myself to eat some treats. Yesterday, I had a Skor bar. Today I had mashed potatoes at lunch and two non-fat Dannon yogurts as snacks.

Tomorrow, I'm back to following the plan. I think I really need to work more on portion size. That and exercising.
