We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news from LisaB:
Sorry to disrupt your viewing folks, but here is an update… I have lost 10 pounds with my low carb diet from hell new lifestyle. Yes folks, it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle. Excuse me while I sob uncontrollably ponder that one. The other good news is that I am no longer so hungry I am ready to eat my shoes! I was not a happy camper more like a homicidal lunatic that first week. You should see my kitchen cabinets now, they are loaded with nauseatingly healthy foodstuffs. Picture edamame, soy chips, whole wheat pasta, almonds, and lots of South Beach products. Anyone want to come to supper? I didn’t think so. And yes, Julie, I can still drink a glass of wine or two on occasion. Sound the trumpets!
Seriously, thanks again for all your great recipes and suggestions – you guys were a BIG help!
More updates as they develop. And now back to our original programming, already in progress.
First! Me! Surprised? LOL…
congrats on the diet. i need too. bad…
So make it 3 weeks. That’s the ticket. I’m going to start teaching a spinning class again, I hope. That will jump start me…
Do you have boca burgers?
Shoot! That’s normal fare for me!
Congrats on your “lifestyle”!
That’s fantastic! Congratulations!!!!
Congratz! I’m glad the homicidal lunatic phase didn’t get you arrested! LOL
Way to go, girl!
Ah, Lisa, I’ve been wonderng about you on that diet. Sounds very exciting! Ten pounds is NOT easy. I know you’ll get used to your new lifestyle. It’s other people that get in the way. Always shoving cookies and such at you.
Woo hoo!! I’m very happy for you! I knew you could do it. Now it’s official, you’re perfect.
Yeeeeessssss Yay baby!!! I know all about that. I went from 209 pounds to 147 pounds over the past 2 years… Good for you!
Good for you!! I think I found them, by the way. And no, I’m not giving them back!
So does this fall under the heading of an alternative life style?
Ten pounds is amazing!
You are a machinE!
I need to readjust my lifestyle as well. I spent last month getting fed by southern ladies who think butter is the only way to go….
whole wheat pasta tastes like ass, I’ve found.
Woo Hoo!! That is great in such a short time. Keep a sensible diet going but don’t get tooooo thin!
Congrats on losing weight! I bet you’re totally hot looking!
Wade – Nice to see you! I can’t do spinning, too hard on my knees. I hear it’s great though.
Marty – LOL
Seamus – Welcome to my new world, er lifestyle. Nice to know I’m not alone
Mappyb – Thanks Hon. Mwah!
Se7en – Thank you! And LOL. Be glad you weren’t in the line of fire
D-Man – Grazie! I appreciate that!

Leave – Love ya, Hon! And me perfect? IF ONLY!
Dutchbitch – Good for YOU! How cool is that?! And thanks for your support!
Uisce – Thanks so much! And they are all yours
Mike – Not the kind you are thinking of but probably lol.
Buffy – Thank you! I loved your suggestions in my earlier post
Copyranter – I’m not sure what ass tastes like but I’ll take your word for it
Carolyn – Thanks, Dear! And very little chance of me EVER being too thin lol.
Vince – Thanks! And fyi, I already was
Way to go, Lisa! I did the South Beach thing a couple of years ago, but got stuck at an 8-lb. loss and finally just gave up. I missed chewing bread and pasta and the like. So, I joined WW over a year ago and have lost 40 lbs. Suits me much better. I’m even getting better about counting calories, which was the tricky part for me! Continued success to you! YAY for LISA!!
I’ve tried the low carb diets, but I get constant migraines from doing that more than two weeks. I think there’s something related to the low carb and your brain–it was on the news. Be careful with that. I tried going that route—but my head was literally spinning! But congrats on the weight loss! I hope you feel great!
WOW…10 pounds already?! Dang girl, that was fast! And you started, what, last week was it? Watch out Kristie Alley for the new Lisa B!
Well done! And you’re inspiring me to watch what I eat now.
But NO WAY on the soy chips
10 pounds is pretty impressive.
Congratumalations!
Way to goooooo! I’m very proud of you. And YES I DO want to come over for some Vegy Burgers! And you can show me your new shoes at the same time! (Sorry I missed THAT sale!)
I just caught up on all your great posts since I went away. LOVE the new skin. Sev did a GREAT job on this! Looking forward to catching up for real.
Well done, girlfriend. I’m proud of you and yes, I still love you.
Congrats!
Nat – Thanks, Dear! I knew you would understand.
Deb – I had headaches and nausea the first week. Apparently it’s very common when you suddenly go low carb. I drank a lot of water and that took care of it. I’m also not on a true South Beach or Atkins diet. More like a low carb Weight Watchers. And I DID research migraines after you mentioned it, thanks!
David – It’s been about 3 weeks so I’m right on target. Yay!
Annie – Aww thanks my friend! As for soy chips, they taste like potato chips…if you close your eyes
Zen – Thank you! I’m very pleased.
Oob – Thanks! I think
Last Girl – Thanks Hon! And NO Veggie burgers lol. I can’t wait to catch up
Bruce – Thanks Darlin’! Whew, I’m relieved
Serra – Thanks!
Way to go – 10 pounds!!! (I need a copy of that diet)
Congrats! I’m sooooo proud of you!
Mental note: don’t eat carbs in front of Lisa. So we’ll have a liquid brunch, which will make the window shopping all the more fun.
Congrats! Carbs are my biggest weakness. Without them I feel incredibly weak. That’s so great that you’ve been able to committ to your new lifestyle.
Great new Blog skin, too!
You’ve got email.
Congratulation are in order, however you did it!
