Eating my breakfast right now =-) Minestrone soup. Love how things are going with my diet, one of my co-workers came up to me yesterday, and asked how much weight I had lost, since I began working at HDC, because it was visably noticeable. I thought that was awesome, since such small changes aren't usually noticed by people you see so often.

I'm having a little bit of a problem though, that seems to come and go, with terrible night-time tummy aches, that I'm thinking must be coming from the diet. I know my tummy is making weird noises while I'm sleeping, and it's terribly embarrassing since I share a bed with my boyfriend. Maybe I should start sleeping in a different room =-/, it wouldn't be so bad, but we have different sleeping schedules (I work days, he works nights), so he's usually awake, right next to me, while I'm sleeping. I'm thinking it must be something I'm eating too much of, or not eating enough of, he's a rundown of what I've eaten the last two days, anyone want to volunteer to tell me if something on here sounds like it would just rip your tummy to shreds?

Maybe it's the kale...I know fruits and vegetables can cause gastrointestinal discomfort until your body gets used to them, particularly if you eat whatever else first, then the fruits and veggies sit on top of it in your stomach and ferment, causing lots of gas.

I did the Slim Fast diet last year, and lost 20 pounds in 2.5 months, then tried Atkins, but couldn't stick to it, and it's too expensive...I only lost 10 pounds on that in 3 months, so I'm back on the Slim Fast, and not doing so well. I think I can only lose weight in the summer, that seems to be the pattern with me.

Maybe you could try using beano, or make sure you eat fruits and veggies before anything else. IF that's the problem, that is. I don't know for sure.

boyfriend?

That's what I was thinking. LOL.

oh my god look at that icon

I hope that's a good or at least funny OMG and not heinous OMG, LOL!

Isn't it cute

That would be me.

okay when on earth did this happen and how did i miss it?

Around the middle of October, and because you weren't told? *shrug*

Yep yep =P No, NOT Martin

Just a random guess...

I know that South Beach has you cut on carbs like other diets, maybe its just because you're eating say, corn chips instead of whole-grain bread?

I guess milk products are also somewhat difficult for our bodies to digest (cause some bloating, noise) so that could be it too.

That might be some of it =-) Although, I can eat whole wheat bread/brow rice/whole wheat pasta/etc, and have been, but I need to go shopping, hehe, I'm all out at the moment.
